Freddy Curci is one of the best vocalists in Rock History. He's got the combination of vocal talents that all singers strive for. He can sing a ballad with a beautiful, smooth voice like Steve Perry (Journey) or Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon) and then turn around to rock with a rough edge like Brad Delp (Boston). He started his career in the band Sheriff back in 1979, which four years later had a number one song in the USA charts, called "When I'm With You". With that song Freddy got into the World Records Book for holding a note for almost 30 seconds! A few years later he became involved in Alias, together with his Sheriff bandmate Steve DeMarchi on guitar and ex Heart members Steve Fossen, Mike Derosier and Roger Fisher. Alias had two U.S. top ten hits: "More Than Words Can Say" and "Waiting For Love”. In 1994 Freddy Curci debuted as a solo artist on the "Dreamer's Road" album. Six years later a compilation with some unreleased songs saw day of light, and also the start of his cooperation with Frontiers Records who released that album on the Italian market. The next step was to create a brand new project album which could bring back Freddy’s magical voice on an all new material. Freddy decided to work with a full line up of professional musicians such as Jason Hook (ex Bullet Boys) and Joey Scoleri on guitars, Paul Marangoni (Kim Mitchell, The Works, Coney Hatch) and Joey Greco on drums, Ken Malandrino on bass and Ross Greene on keyboards. He gathered the best songs that he wrote together with his song writing partner Steve DeMarchi (Alias, Sheriff), Jeff Paris, Marc Ribler and Bob Marlette, among others. This resulted in the entitled Zion album. It became an album for every Alias Fan who wants to hear more from Freddy. You can notice that Freddy’s voice is still in tact and he’s one of the most talented voices there is for the moment. From great rock songs to more balladic moments, this album has it all. The timing is perfect and the production is brilliant. Not only Freddy Curci but also the musicians shine on this release. The guys at frontiers records did it again to release an album that’s full of talented musicians completed with a great vocalist.
