This is a quality follow up to the debut record. New drummer Jeff Martin fits in perfectly, locking in the engine room with the fabulously reliable Greg Chaisson on the bass. This time round there's a bit more emphasis on acoustic(title track Voodoo Highway) & a bit of slide guitar by the amazingly brilliant Jake E Lee, but relax this is QUALITY blues - based heavy rock that grooves and smoulders. Despite Ray Gillen's health issues and deteriorating friendships with the rest of the group, he is on fire again. Brilliant stuff,and another time this would be a certainty for a platinum disc. Alas the musical landscape had changed and Bandlands never got the attention, media coverage, or lucky break they deserved, huge pity! Highlights include The Last time, Soul Stealer & 3 Day Funk not forgetting a cover of a James Taylor tune,Fire & Rain & Heavens Train. The album gets stronger the further into it you delve! Of the 3 albums this is may appear weaker, yet I think that has more to do with the other 2 albums being so very strong, particularly the debut album.
For those that haven't heard of them, Badlands were a supergroup of sorts, featuring guitarist Jake E. Lee who had been in Ozzy Osbourne's band, singer Ray Gillen, who was briefly in Black Sabbath and also Eric Singer of KISS on drums(on the first album anyway) so potentially an amazing band and their self-titled debut was well received. Despite various arguments between band members and Singer's firing, Badlands released Voodoo Highway in 1991. The album starts well but track 3, Shine On, things really pick up and Whiskey Dust, Soul Stealer, Silver Horses and Love Don't Mean A Thing are truly great songs, Jake E. Lee proves himself to be something of a guitar god with a good understanding of what real hard bluesy rock should sound like.
This band has been recommended to me by a few people so Badlands seem to have become some sort of cult band for those in the know and it's easy to see why. It might have just fallen short of a classic in my eyes but if you like the bands listed above and 70s and 80's hard rock in general then you need to check these boys out!
