‘Hurricane Riders‘ is the culmination of Danny Vaughn from Tyketto and Dan Reed from Dan Reed Network joining forces as SNAKE OIL & HARMONY and creating a record of 10 original songs that pay tribute to the timeless Classic Rock which inspired both of these accomplished artists. ‘Hurricane Riders’ is a ‘full band’ album where both vocalists are the star,...
After the recent Rock Candy remastered reissue of TYKETTO‘s classic “Don’t Come Easy”, many of you asked for the now out of print Japanese Ltd SHM Mini-LP remastered version to compare.
I am happy with both releases in terms of sound quality; the Rock Candy remaster is punchier and a little more bright, while the Japanese remastering is warmer in the mid-tones, with an excellent Dynamic Range.
As said, both are good: old-school ears will prefer this SHM-CD, unfortunately out of print and sold at ridiculous numbers on eBay.
A Must Have
2016 hit the 25th Anniversary of “Don’t Come Easy“, the awesome debut from TYKETTO. To celebrate the event, Rock Candy Records released a fully digitally remastered edition of the album plus the terrific bonus track “Walk Away”. The early ’90s presented a massive challenge to a number of melodic rock bands. The musical climate was being transformed by a rush...
Much loved melodic rockers TYKETTO will put out tomorrow “Strength In Numbers Live”, a new live album to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of their second studio album “Strength In Numbers”. Released originally in 1994, in a time when grunge and alternative Rock were dominating, Tyketto soldiered on and came out with possibly the best record of 1994...
With the just featured TYKETTO albums one of you asked for this CD “The Last Sunset Farewell”, released by themselves (no barcode) some time ago and including a collection of unreleased tracks, demos and a live song. All these were composed / recorded during the late ’80s / early ’90s and are excellent. With exception of the die-hard fans, most...
Here’s another excellent request: the only available remastered version of TYKETTO‘s terrific album “Strength In Numbers”. This Japanese edition features a ’90s-type’ of remastering, which works greatly for this awesome Melodic Hard Rock album. After a successful run with the major label released debut ‘Don’t Come Easy’, Tyketto’s Danny Vaughn, Brooke St. James, Michael Clayton and new bassist Jaimie Scott...
Here’s another request: the only available remastered version of TYKETTO‘s third album, the underrated “Shine” featuring ex Tall Stories and future Journey lead vocalist Steve Augeri.
This Japanese edition appeared a year after the European, and it was tweaked with a ’90s-type’ of remastering, which works great.
“Myths, Legends and Lies” is the solo album DANNY VAUGHN has always wanted to make. Though best-known as the frontman of Tyketto, Danny’s solo project showcases his range and talents as singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and storyteller. He is aided by Tyketto bandmate Chris Childs on bass, drummer Rhys Morgan and keyboardist Nigel Hopkins. They all add their musical talents to...
Near the end of the year, it’s time to recap about the best 2016 releases, by category. For 0dayrox, the Bronze Medal to the best Melodic Rock album of the year goes to TYKETTO’s “Reach”. One of my favorite Melodic Rock bands – TYKETTO – returned this year with new album “Reach“, arguably one of the best of their career....
More unheard / unreleased / rarities from Tyketto’s main man DANNY VAUGHN can be found on this “Rare Tracks Vol.2“. There’s a couple of very rare demos from BOMBAY DOGS, a band Danny helped to finish some songs / lyrics and taped in 1996 for a possible recording contract. Very cool bluesy rocking tracks. ‘Chase The Fire’ is a song...
One of the most respected (and best) songwriters / vocalists in Melodic Rock history is without a doubt American DANNY VAUGHN. With a fructiferous career including Tyketto, Waysted, his own band Vaughn and many more projects, the man has an incombustible talent with more than 30 years in the business. At the prompting of several friends & fans, Danny has...
![FLESH & BLOOD (Danny Vaughn) – Blues For Daze [remastered 2015]](https://0dayrox.org/wp-content/themes/hueman/assets/front/img/thumb-medium-empty.png)
After the recently featured here reissue of Mark Mangold’s The Sign two albums, one of you asked for his project FLESH & BLOOD and its only album titled “Blues For Daze“. Well, as happened with The Sign, Mangold himself remastered the album last year to celebrate its 20th Anniversary and made it available again after years out of print. FLESH...
TYKETTO are back and it’s about damn time! The eagerly anticipated new album from the reformed band (the first since 1994’s Strength In Numbers) is finally here and fans who have been salivating for new tunes from this incredible Melodic Rock / AOR band need not worry. Sometimes when a band takes a hiatus and return many years later, the...
