This CD by Andy Taylor is listed as rare and hard to find on many sites, but it actually is pretty easy to acquire for $15-25 on ebay or in the Amazon Used CDs. I don't know why some sellers are charging upwards of $100, even for the MCA (non-import) version. Don't be one of the suckers born every minute.
Andy Taylor is most famous for his stint as the guitarist in early Duran Duran, and left as the band jumped on the synth-heavy bandwagon in the mid-80s. He stuck closer to his rock roots and collaborated in the form of Power Station (with Robert Palmer) and also to help Robert complete his smash album "Riptide". After doing some soundtrack work as a solo artist, he released "Thunder" in 1987. This effort remains focused on the guitar, but also boasts song pretty strong songwriting and vocal performances. Strongest cuts are the singles "I Might Lie" and "Don't Let Me Die Young". The ballad "Life Goes On" has a strong chorus and "Thunder" is a cool mid-tempo rocker.
Andy Taylor reunited briefly with Duran Duran in 2004 to release "Astronaut," which failed to establish yet another comeback for them.
