Description
Russ Ballard is simply one of the most renowned and gifted songwriters in Pop and Rock music. During the 70's and 80's his songs ruled the airwaves and the list of hits is pretty much endless. From 'Since You Been Gone' (Rainbow), 'God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You' (Argent and Kiss), 'So You Win Again' (Hot Chocolate), 'New York Groove' (Hello and Ace Frehley), 'You Can Do Magic' (America), 'Winning' (Santana) or 'I Don't Believe In Miracles' (Colin Blunstone) - just to name a few - everyone who needed a great song knew that with Russ Ballard they could not go wrong.
Numerous records/artists were also produced by him, like Roger Daltrey, America, Elkie Brooks, Skindred or Sada Vidoo and he started a solo career (after his stint with the band Argent in early 70's) in 1974 which had its highest momentum with the "S/t" album in 1984 (which included the hit single "Voices") and the follow up "The Fire Still Burns".
He released a total of 10 studio albums and is now back with two albums in one: "Songs from the Warehouse / The Hits Rewired".
The first album is made up of new songs which show once again that the inspiration never left Russ. The second includes brand new recordings of Russ Ballard hits either penned or performed by him during the years. You just need to look at the titles and will immediately recognize the track.
