Albums John Burns Out

Press Reviews Lycos music: "Burns guides a large band (up to nine performers) through a selection of lavishly orchestrated pieces in an early '80s Prog/AOR/arena rock mode. His dramatic, high-pitched vocals remain consistent, whether he's working through a freeze-dried blues shuffle or a climactic, slow-burning Styx rewrite."
