I guess it has a lot of influence that Shaw has been on while weve been waiting since Ambition. Highly reccommend this one. What a voice!

After recording with DAMN YANKEES and SHAW/BLADES, Tommy finally concocted a brand new solo album for 1998 release entitled 7 Deadly Zens with Jack Blades guesting. Other names putting in an appearance included JOHN SYKES bassist Marco Mendoza, DAMN YANKEES colleagues TED NUGENT on guitar, drummer Michael Cartellone and REO SPEEDWAGON vocalist Kevin Cronin. Even actress Angie Dickinson adds a narration.
