There are some albums which have left their mark on rock music for good. Some albums which gave inspiration to thousands of musicians so as to play, write and record music for the first time. Such an album is Russ Ballard's homonymous release which came out in 1984. 1984 was a time when music did rule the radio waves. Not fancy cover artworks, or album titles etc… just music, which was more important than everything else. Russ released an album which was meant to become a classic. You see the 80s was the time when the most rock/hard rock classic albums were released.

The way melodic rock, AOR & pop-rock music have been blended here is supreme. Apart from any music tags – this album can be simply described as a rock release. The 8 tracks it features are all exceptional. “In the Night” and “Voices” became major hits and both appeared in Miami Vice TV series in the episodes: Calderone's Return: Part 1 – The Hit List” and “Calderone's Return: Part 2 – Calderone's Demise” respectively. Literally, any track on this album is a potential hit! Everything seems so damn easy when we talk about a songwriter like Russ.
