"Don't Lead Me On" by RTZ

RTZ (Return To Zero) was an early 90s band that reunited singer Brad Delp and guitarist Barry Goudreau, who were both key members of Boston (Goudreau has also released solo work and was a member of AOR outfit Orion The Hunter). The debut album saw the group off to a promising start with three charting singles, "Face The Music" (#49), the stellar ballad "Until Your Love Comes Back Around" (#26), and "All You've Got" (#56).

Delp then left RTZ to rejoin Boston in tour, effectively breaking up the band. Enough music had been recorded during the initial sessions that they cobbled together a significantly less exciting sophomore effort called "Lost," which finally saw the light of day in 1998. "Don't Lead Me On" is one of the best tracks from that collection - listen to those harmonies!

The band reunited after Delp's death in 2007 to record a tribute to this vocal legend. The epic 8 minute song is called "Set The Songbird Free."
