101 South - 101 South (CD)

During 1999, HARLAN CAGE keyboardist Roger Scott Craig assembled a new line-up of musicians under the banner 101 SOUTH. This project brought together many talented individuals, all seasoned and well-travelled veterans of the L.A. session scene.
Joining Roger in the band were much sought after session vocalist Gregory Lynn Hall, guitarist Mike Turner, bassist Chris Julian and drummer Hans Geiger. When we compare 101 SOUTH to HARLAN CAGE, there are many similarities, but one thing stands out: the vocal prowess of Hall. He is like a stand-in for Lou Gramm (FOREIGNER) and Christian vocal hero Bob Carlisle (ex ALLIES) with his own style and distinction. The trademark keyboard work of Craig is ever present, while the songs mix all-out melodic power with delicate ballads. A compelling combination which just has to be heard.
Memorable moments such as the surging AOR of 'Nowhere To Run' and 'Your Razor Is Sharp' (surely 'Dearborn Station' Part 2) and the soaring vocals Gregory Lynn Hall on "We took the wrong road" stand out among a collection of superior tracks on the album “101 South” from the year 2000.
Two years later, and 101 SOUTH return with their sophomore release 'Roll Of The Dice' with another dose of pure timeless 'Class Rock'- great songs and incredible passion. Joining the band this time around is HARLAN CAGE cohort Billy Liesegang, giving 101 SOUTH even more guitar fuel.
