Morningstar - Venus

Morningstar’s Venus from 1979 is a nice piece of late-70s American melodic rock, sitting somewhere between hard rock, AOR and the bigger pomp-rock sound of bands like Styx and Kansas. “Angel”, “Never Meant to Be”, “Rosie” and “Let Me Dream” give the album plenty of melody without losing the guitars. It never became a big seller at the time, which makes it a lovely deeper cut today. A good one for collectors who enjoy digging beyond the obvious names.
