Oliver Weers isn't exactly a household name, in fact it's hard to find a lot of information on the Danish singer. He is apparently well-respected enough to open for Whitesnake and score Tommy Aldridge and Marco Mendoza in the band. The truth is that "Get Ready" is better than the latest Whitesnake and is an amazing piece of modern AOR. I use the term "modern" because he does infuse some life into a genre typcially said to have lived and died in the 80's.

Weer's doesn't reinvent the wheel here, in fact some of the material isn't even close to being original, but it is done very, very well. The first cut "Calling Out To You" is about as strait up AOR as you get, but it's power and the superb production really make it stand out. He really shines on his ability to write amazing hooks. "Even Giants Cry" is evidence of this, verse is ok, but the chorus really grabs you. The same can be said for "Hands High" and "Angel". There's even a semi-ballad "Coming Home" that grabs you pretty well.

Overall, the music is a lot like Whitesnake, it's heavy enough for the guys, but soft enough to make some panties wet. This has the makings of a super-group... if only it was 87' again! Still, Weers is going to turn a lot of heads for those who hear "Get Ready", it's just a damn good recording.
