"Is That All There Is?" by Danny Vaughn

Singer and songwriter Danny Vaughn first made waves in the bands Waysted and Tyketto, the latter of which would have been huge had they entered the late 80s rock scene a little earlier. Between their demise and reunion many years later, Vaughn has released numerous solo albums and led several other projects such as From The Inside, Burning Kingdom, and Ultimate Eagles, an Eagles cover band.

Despite his tireless efforts in these varied projects, his talents have gone largely unnoticed by the mainstream. "Is That All There Is?" is a lost gem from his 2000 solo record entitled, "Soldiers And Sailors On Riverside."

"Wings" by Tyketto

Hailing from New York, Danny Vaughn's post-Waysted band, Tyketto, arrived on the pop metal and hairband scene just a little too late. Had it been released earlier, their debut album from 1991, "Don't Come Easy," could have been remembered as a classic along with late 80s albums by Bon Jovi, Poison, and Warrant.

The band released a fairly decent track to start their career, "Forever Young," but it failed to chart and didn't bring sufficient attention to the band. This meant that better cuts on the album, including "Seasons," "Sail Away," and the terrific ballad "Standing Alone," got far less attention than they deserved.

Tyketto's sophomore record, "Strength In Numbers," was dropped, but ultimately picked up by another label in 1994. Vaughn has one of the best voices in rock--he's released solo records and other projects such as From The Inside. Unfortunately, none have given him the wider recognition he deserves. A reunited Tyketto continues to make new records and tour today.

"Wings" might have been a better choice to introduce this band to the world. It is a much stronger song, and far more memorable.

"Stop" by From The Inside

From The Inside is a little-known AOR band that released two albums in the 2000s. If you are a fan of the under the radar "hairbands" Waysted from the 80s or Tyketto from the early 90s, you'll recognize the distinctive voice of Danny Vaughn. 

Vaughn is a talented singer/songwriter who should have gotten a lot more attention; not only was Tyketto underrated, but so was his solo career and other side projects like From The Inside. "Stop" is a great slice of melodic rock that is simply well written, well sung, well played. What's not to like?
