During the the 1996 Return To Paradise Tour, Styx keyboardist Dennis DeYoung wrote and recorded his own version of the Hunchback. The cd which features Dennis and Dawne Marie on vocals, and there are some great vocal work on here from the two of them. And there are some really good songs. But that is were it the ends.
Who Will Love This Child is a very good song with a strong vocal to it. Bu the music doesn't match the performance of Dennis. Beneath The Moon is from Dennis's 3rd solo cd BOOMCHILD, and Paradise would show up on RETURN TO PARADISE, While There's Still Time, would be on BRAVE NEW WORLD. And there are other good songs Ave Maria, With Every Heartbeat. But the music slowly takes away from the songs. It lacks the impact of the vocals. And while the production is crisp and clear, it again shows the lack of a strong instrumental track to the cd
Grade C-
