Winger - In The Heart Ofthe Young

Facts Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition including two bonus tracks. Winger's debut album was an immediate commercial and critical success, selling in excess of a million units and making front man Kip Winger's chiseled look a household name, rivaling even the popularity of Jon Bon Jovi. For this follow-up album, Kip retained all the positive points of his debut's success, with no changes to either band members or his producer Beau Hill, except that this time around they elected to record in Los Angeles rather than New York City. It was a good move as the album increased the band's fire and passion, bringing together 11 tracks of superior melodic rock goodness. The sound was sharp, the hooks were huge and the songs were as every bit on the money as first time around. Kip's familiar husky roar wraps itself around classic tracks such as 'Can't Get Enuff', 'Easy Come, Easy Go' and 'Miles Away', whilst the rhythm section pounds away in a manner befitting some of the world's most successful hard rock acts like Whitesnake and Def Leppard. No wonder that this record went on to achieve Platinum status and beyond.
