"Tear Jerker" by Warpipes

If the music of the band Warpipes sounds familiar, that's because you've heard them before. The group is a mix of musicians best known for playing in Elton John's band, including Nigel Olsson, Guy Babylon, Bob Birch, and Davey Johnstone. Billy Trudel was brought on as the lead vocalist for this project.

The group released only one album, 1991's "Holes In The Heavens." Despite favorable reviews, the music label collapsed at the time of its release, no doubt hurting its chances of breaking through to the mainstream. A real shame, since the record is bursting with talent and contains several strong rockers and ballads in the epic Elton John tradition.

"Tear Jerker" is one of the ballads to give you a sample of what the world has missed.
