North Coast (Remastered)
North Coast is probably the album that best exemplifies how the band sounded live, and it produced many concert favorites. ""In The Heartland,"" the perfect opener, not just on record but in concert as well, announces the album's presence with authority, Tommy Dobeck's driving drum beat leading the way. Kevin Raleigh is again well represented on lead vocals with his funky ""Don't You Do That To Me,"" as well as the song about ""not giving up,"" ""We Can Make It"". ""When Your Heart Says It's Right"" formed the ideal couplet live with Stanley's ""Heaven and Hell."" Two all time Stanley/Pelander classics are represented with ""Somewhere In The Night"" and ""Falling In Love Again,"" and Stanley's classic rocker ""Let's Hear It"" rounds things up quite nicely. The album also marks the first appearance in the studio of local sax player Rick Bell.
