Dennis \u201cFergie\u201d Frederiksen rose to fame as vocalist of TOTO, and has cemented his position with bands and projects like TRILLION, LEROUX, FREDERIKSEN\/PHILIPS, MECCA, FREDERIKSEN\/DENANDER etc. This is a special album, being made during a period when Fergie was diagnosed and in therapy for cancer. In 2011 he was cured, and had a new record to display. Written from a perspective of how much you have to lose and the joy of being alive this is bound for glory\u2026or?
\nApart from being written in companionship with Jim Peterik (ex. SURVIVOR, PRIDE OF LIONS), the albuim also boosts the talents of Dennis Ward, bass and production, Dirk Bruinenberg, drums, Eric Ragno, keyboards, and Nathan Eshman, guitars. The general feeling of joy and happiness is contagious. The echoes of TOTO and SURVIVOR are there too of cause, with the polished brand of catchy AOR that Fergie used to flagship. I have a hard time with \u201cLove Waits for No One\u201d. Not that it is downright bad but it is somewhat below the high average on offer here. At the same time it will not be an instant classic. \u201cElaine\u201d and \u201cThe Future Ain\u00b4t What It Used to Be\u201d may well be instant cl\u00f6asics, but two out of 12 is not enough in 2011. The majority of tracks are above average, choruses, keyboards, catchiness and all doesn\u00b4t add up to more than slightly or above average in most cases. The routine is almost tangible, the flow sometimes admirable but the hard to define \u201cit\u201d that causes mass hysteria may have left the business a good whiole ago. A worthy purchase though, if not for anything else to celebrate that Fergie survived to tell his story. <\/p>\n
