Steve Morse Band - Stand Up (1985)

"Stand Up" is the second album of the first incarnation of the Steve Morse Band. In an attempt for more "commercial appeal" no less than four guest vocalists were added, not, however, to the detriment of the music. With the added vocal variety and instrumental prowes as strong as ever "Stand Up" has in fact become one of my favourite SMB albums.
