About
Native Sons is the second studio album by the Scottish AOR and melodic rock band Strangeway, released in 1987 on Bonaire Record. It is widely considered by critics and enthusiasts to be a landmark release in the British melodic rock genre. Following the release of their self-titled debut in 1985, the band underwent a significant lineup change. Original vocalist Tony Liddell left the group and was replaced by American singer Terry Brock. Brock was recommended to the band by Kevin Elson, the producer of their debut album. The album was produced by John Punter, whose previous credits included work with Roxy Music and Japan. The addition of Brock's vocals drew frequent comparisons to American arena rock giants such as Journey and Foreigner, shifting the band's sound toward a more polished, radio-friendly aesthetic. Upon its release, Native Sons received high praise from the rock pre. In a famous review for Kerrang! magazine, journalist Derek Oliver described the record as "the greatest and most preciously perfect AOR album of all time." Despite this critical acclaim, the album did not achieve significant commercial chart success during its initial run. .
