My musical tastes are firmly rooted in the classic rock era (the sounds of my youth) so it may seem odd to some that I am offering an opinion on a band that comes out of the hair metal/MTV rock era. Or perhaps it isn't so surprising after all since there are many people out there who understand that good music is timeless and that it lives on to influence more good music over and over again. The period of time when Baton Rouge released their debut album certainly put that belief to the test. The popularity of music videos had unleashed "made-for-tv" musicians by the score. There were still good bands out there that made music their primary focus but you had to work hard to find them. I was fortunate to have a good friend who was more than happy to help me with this task (Thanks Bryan !!!). It was at his insistence that I purchased a copy of Baton Rouge's 1990 release "Shake Your Soul". I immediately realized that I had found another link in the chain of timeless good music.
"Shake Your Soul" is an outstanding effort by a band that should have been at the top of its class. Kelly Keeling has an excellent voice (check out his solo work as well as he has worked with Alice Cooper, Blue Murder, Michael Schenker, John Norum, Don Dokken, Carmine Appice/Guitar Zeus, and many other notable artists) and Lance Bulen's guitar work is superb. The band is tight and the production is solid. As for the music itself, it ROCKS. There is a good mix of hard rock ("Doctor", "Big Trouble", "Bad Time Comin' Down" , "Hot Blood Movin'", "Baby's So Cool"), heavy groove ("Walks Like A Woman", "Spread Like Fire"), power ballads ("It's About Time", "There Was A Time"), and , for lack of a better term, in-betweeners ("Young Hearts", "Melenie"). No wasted space on this one.
"Shake Your Soul" continues to be on my play list after all these years. So here is a challenge to those of you out there who consider yourselves to be experts on this genre: compare the music on "Shake Your Soul" against that which you hold to be the best of the genre and see how it measures up. Once you do, you may find yourself adding Baton Rouge to the top of the list.

If you were a fan of the hair bands of the 80's do not pass this one up. I happened across this in a bargin bin in 1996 and I have to tell you that all the songs on this CD are good. I may pass up the ballads like "It's about time" at times but over all it is about the only cd I own that is enjoyable from start to finish. My personal favorite is "Burn Like Fire" which is the last song on the CD. I am still puzzled why this CD didnt get alot of air play. There are lots of heavy riffs and power ballads to fill just about every rockers taste. It is now a real rare cd to find so pick this one up! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

This is a great CD for fans of 80s hard rock or hair metal...
there is strong songwriting throughout and the production and performance are top notch
I'm not sure why they never hit big but they certainly should have
this CD sounds like a mix of Danger Danger,Loverboy,Bad English,Bad Company and even at times Whitesnake
this is one of the rare CDs that includes several songs that I enjoy listening to over and over and one song 'Baby's So Cool' is one of my very favorite hard rock songs of all time and made it's way into regular rotation on my internet radio show!
the upside:great songwriting,production and performance,the best songs are 'Baby's So Cool','Doctor','Walks Like A Woman','It's About Time','Bad Time Comin' Down','Melenie','There Was A Time'
the downside:there are a few filler songs...but out of 12 songs I'd say only 2 are filler and that's definitely not bad at all
the bottom line: this is a great CD for fans of 80s style hard rock...recommended for fans of Poison,Danger Danger,Loverboy,Bad English and even Christian rock band X'Terra's CD 'Wolves' Baton Rouge Shake Your Soul is well worth looking for...donutman says so!!!
