Zahalan – Zahalan 1990
This one is certainly a Holy Grail for David Foster fans. Released in 1990 only in Canada this CD contains 2 noteworthy tracks. “Letting Go” was produced by David Foster and features Danny Peck on harmony vocals as well as David Boruff on sax. This is the classic “David Foster sound” that I miss since David seems to be producing a totally different sound these days.
The other track is “Long Way From Loneliness” produced by Humberto Gatica and arranged by Tom Keane, Tom and Jason Scheff provide background vocals and again David Boruff plays sax. An amazing album with fantastic keys, smooth vocals, memorable songs from start to finish filled with catchy rhythms, hooks and vibes,anyone into female-fronted melodic rock/AOR would be crazy to pass on this one.
