Speaking of insane, after having denigrated Tod Howarth for his contribution to the Second Sighting album, here you'll see that I'm singing his praises. "Calling To You" is one of two Howarth penned tunes on the debut. However, before you lambaste me either mentally or in the comments section please listen to the song. On any other album this tune would have been a top ten radio hit, especially in 87 when glammy hair metal was in its heyday. Big, ballsy and with a great sing along melody throughout this one deserved a better fate. Is it a great Ace Frehley song? Ill leave that up to you to decide, for me its just too good a tune to ignore.
4. Into The Night from Frehleys Comet, 1987
This ones busy so try to keep up Into The Night is actually a Russ Ballard song, the writer of Aces hit from 78, New York Groove as well as the guitarist/vocalist on the Argent classic, 72s Hold Your Head Up. Ballard left Argent in 74 to pursue a career as a writer and worked with the likes of Roger Daltrey and Santana. One of the most mature tunes on any Ace release, Into the Night has an epic, grandiose feel to it. If and when you get sick of hearing Frehley singing about getting loaded this is a nice alternative that has some tasty fretwork. Great in headphones!
