Rick Cua

This first tune actually kinda rocks...

Anybody into this guy?  Looks like quite a catalog and the Elefante bros produced one of his albums.  That any good?

Some strong fretwork on "The Power" from Alan Parsons Project guitarist Ian Bairnson.

His first four albums were absolute gold.  His vocals are akin to Rick Springfield, but his music on those albums reminded me of early Sammy Hagar.  He eventually went pop and I quit listening to him.

Oh, and let's not forget that Rick is a killer bassist and even played on one of the Whitecross albums.

I was never into his music back in the day.  
But upon revisiting him recently I find that he he did have a few really good songs.

This song is actually awesome with some killer riffs and a strong chorus.   
It is as good as anything else from the 80's:

I liked the album with the Wear your colors song but that was about it.
