Russ Ballard-"The Fire Stills Burns" (1985)

Russ Ballard is world famous for composing great hits for other artists, from Santana to Rainbow, to singers and groups as diverse as Uriah Heep, Three Dog Night, Hot Chocolate or America among many others.
Russ Ballard began his career in 1961 in the band Meikle & The Day Breakers, then he would join The Roulettes and later join the band Argent, where he obtained his first big hit "God Gave Rock and Roll To You".
Almost in the mid-70s, he left Argent and began his career as a soloist as well as a composer, thus publishing works relatively frequently; "Russ Ballard" (1975), "Winning" (1976), "At The Third Stroke" (1979) or "Russ Ballard & The Barnet Dogs" (1980).
But it would be with the records "Russ Ballard-1984" (1984) (with which he achieved significant success with the song "Voices"), but especially with "The Fire Still Burns" (1985) with which he would acquire quite a lot of notoriety, in This latest addictive Rock with catchy choruses and infectious rhythms lead him to bill a superb album, where "Once a Rebel", "Hey Bernadette", "Your Time Is Gonna Come" or the irresistible melodic "The Fire Still Burns" stand out.
