Right out of the gate on this self-titled inaugural, Shooting Star brings on the schmaltz but gets away with it because the tracks exhibit so much heart. Most of these well-aimed cuts concern surviving and prospering. Expert musicianship propels this Kansas City sextet through the general rock heartland on a holy crusade. No one else could have made "Just Friends" so poignant yet positive. Tonight" is most excellent, the violin creating a pop Kansas (but way cooler)
I use the "Next Track" button on the CD player a lot with this album. 3 people found this helpful.
