Title: Tough It Out Live
Artist/Band: FM
Country: UK
Release date: 09/04/2020
Company: Frontiers Music
Style: Melodic Rock, AOR
The most beautiful way to tell the most beautiful stories of the heart and mind is music. FM unique in this field with their beautiful music and the voice of Steve Overland that literally looks like quality velvet, caress our ears and souls as they travel us in each of their stories in a unique way. FM are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their second album “Tough It Out” with the release of a new double live album, "Tough It Out Live". Originally released by Epic Records in 1989, "Tough It Out" broke into the UK Top 40 and saw contributions from songwriting luminaries such as Desmond Child (KISS, AEROSMITH, BON JOVI, Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton, Cher, Joan Jett, Ricky Martin, Maria Vidal, Bonnie Tyler, Robin Beck, John Waite, Bonfire, RATT, Steve Vai, CHICAGO etc.), Jesse Harms, Robin and Judith Randall (Mark Free). The record is understandably regarded as a Melodic Rock/AOR classic and the band played it in its entirety on their last shows of 2019 in the UK and Germany to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release. In addition to the tracks from the "Tough It Out" album, this live release is complemented by a number of tracks which FM have rarely performed live, cherry picked to offer a setlist that gives the discerning fan a great insight into the band’s deeper repertoire. No choosen track because this whole live album is a kind of best of! Suggested not only for FM fans but for anyone who like melodic rock/AOR style! We love FM we love Steve Overland!!!
