"Hello" by Joey C. Jones & Glory Hounds

If Joey C. Jones and his so-called Glory Hounds had released their CD in the late 80s, they would have been huge. But their self-titled debut album arrived a day late and a dollar short in 1994. Sounding like Vince Neil fronting Cheap Trick, this band had all the ingredients for major chart success being the hairband craze. In fact, their album contains a song written by members of Cheap Trick ("Wait All Night").

Joey C. Jones was also a member of an early 80s glam band called Sweet Savage. Fondness for glam rock can also be found on his self-titled record on "Broadway," a track co-written with Poison's CC Deville.

"Hello" appropriately opens this fine album of overlooked power pop and rock.
