On "Wild America" Tora Tora singer Anthony Corder sounded a lot like Tesla's Jeff Keith. Corder sounds the same on this recording but the music is bluesier leaning more towards Black Crowes.
"Wild America" has been an overlook gem - "Revolution Day" is a forgotten gem. Thanks to the band and FNA Records "Revolution Day " finally is here. This CD is the outcome of a recording session done right after the "Wild America tour". Tora Tora locked themselves up in a rehearsal space near the Memphis airport and it sure was productive.
The album was supposed to be the follow up to "Wild America" and it shows a band that has progressed and moved away from the debut developing into a tight musical unit. The mature songwriting suits the style of Tora Tora and "Revolution Day" is 12 consistent songs without any hits.
"Revolution Day" is a splendid bluesy hard rock record. Of course the year 1994 was a bad year for everyone not wearing flannel shirts, so sadly this recording got shelved. It is worth discovering since it sounds good today and definitely worth checking out for fans of Tesla and Black Crowes.
"Revolution Day" is a timeless "good- time" Rock record.
