SEVENTH KEY I Will Survive

Seventh Key is the project of Billy Greer (previously known from Kansas) and guitarist/producer Mike Slamer (Streets, Steelhouse Lane and City Boy). ‘I will survive’ is their third studio album, and their first in almost nine years. It follows the tradition of the two previous albums which means premium quality AOR with a touch of melodic hard rock. Greer/Slamer is an excellent song writing duo and that really shines through on this new album. Everything is cleverly arranged in a warm and detailed production. Another thing that impresses me is the tasteful guitar work delivered by Slamer, every single note this guys play seems to be there for a certain reason lifting the song material without overshadowing the vocals or the other instruments. Billy Greer’s vocal is very typical for the AOR genre and he does an excellent job once again. Seventh Key may not bring anything new to the genre, but once again it’s the quality of the song material that makes ‘I will survive’ an AOR album you don’t want to miss out on. Great stuff.
