Doug Aldrich of Hurricane and then Bad Moon Rising formed Burning Rain as a vehicle to return to his classic rock roots and that he did. The debut album was a surprisingly strong dose of blues drenched classic rock, with some great vocals from Keith St, John. On Pleasure To Burn, the guys pick up where the last album left off and deliver another great album in the same style as the debut. The only thing the guys do differently is take the debut album and better it. The sound is tighter, the production even better, Keith's vocals are more diverse and basically the album delivers on every level. From the furious hard rocking into of Fireball to the David Coverdale meets Foreigner like blues rock balladry of Cherie Don't Break My Heart, the album rides off the back of some great quality song writing. This is the type of classic rock album that the Europeans and Japanese love. | |||

American fans should now take a good look at these guys, for a more polished blues hard rock album you will not find. Faithfully Yours is another killer ballad, but aside from that and Cherie, the album contains 9 blues rock anthems that match of better any of Doug's work in his previous bands. This is not Hurricane though; this is more rooted in blues rock than the American stadium rock of that band.
