The Way (Russell Arcara)- Frequency Of Spirit 2011

Posted on May 14, 2017 in Melodic Rock | AOR by Alex F


The bio might allude to many many album sales over the years for bands the guys in The Way have been involved with but the personnel here were unknown to my prior to me scooping this album up at a bargain basement price on line.
