Jillson – Deadly Girl (1990)

Well, here it is!! One of the most sought after indie hard rock releases in music and internet history — FINALLY getting a long awaited re-issue from Retrospect — and deservedly so!! Any of you collectors know this was originally released (in 1990) in very limited quantities and has fetched upwards of $250 on the net!! Well now that we can all afford this gem, we should all own it!!

Digitally remastered with 3 previously unreleased KILLER bonus tracks that were recorded shortly after the original release of the CD. This absolutely stunning melodic hard rock / hair metal / AOR CD is so damn good , you gotta wonder why a major label didn’t pick these guys up way back when!! Spearheaded by monster vocalist/songwriter/musician DON JILLSON (who later changed his name to TOMMY PARIS when he joined BRITNY FOX)

and also featuring guitar virtuoso Terry Ripley along with one of the best powerhouse drummers on the west coast, JAMIE BORDEN (idrummag.com) — this explosive addictive hard rock album simply can NOT be missed the second time around!!  Music fans have compared this to a “supercharged” Night Ranger,  Y&T, Nitro, Shotgun Messiah, Roxy Blue, Van Halen, etc… with the power ballads sounding like 80’s Chicago and REO Speedwagon.  Have a listen to the samples and decide for yourself. Either way — get rockin’ with Jillson NOW!!  And check out the more recent, hard hitting, power rock release from “J.J.T.” here on Retrospect featuring Tommy Paris, Jamie Borden and Jimmy Crespo (ex-Aerosmith)!!
