"Soul Of A Man" by The Storm

The Storm is an AOR supergroup formed in 1991 by former members of JourneySantana, and Kevin Chalfant, the lead singer for 707. Chalfant also took the helm for Steel Breeze in 1984 and the modern AOR outfit Two Fires. Things got off to a promising start with the minor hit "I've Got A Lot To Learn About Love," which cruised to #26 in 1992. But the band could not crack the Top 100 again with other singles from their debut self-titled record.

The band completed a follow-up album in 1993 called "Eye Of The Storm" (see what they did there?) but it languished as their label moved into rap and hip-hop. Another label allowed it to see the light of day in 1995, but by then everyone had forgotten about AOR, much less The Storm.

"Eye Of The Storm" is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor, with many songs besting their debut. If you miss the glory days of that Journey sound, you're sure to like "Soul Of A Man" and the other offerings the band produced.
