Digitally remastered edition of this 1987 album from the Styx guitarist/vocalist. Ambition was Tommy's third solo album and is generally regarded as the best of the batch. Teaming up with British producer Terry Thomas, the former leader and creative heart of cult AOR band Charlie, and recorded in London, musical assistance was provided by a number of top notch session players. The album received immediate and deserved acclaim as one of the most impressive sounding records of the time. Featuring some incredible vocal performances, recorded with pinpoint accuracy and loaded with 10 truly great tracks, the record is a startling example of heavy but melodic Rock with lashings of power and passion. Songs such as 'Dangerous Game', 'Are You Ready for Me' and 'The Outsider' say so much more about Shaw than we ever learnt when he was a member of Styx. Lead off track, 'No Such Thing' is one of the greatest, yet largely underexposed, tracks he's ever recorded. 12 page full color booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, unpublished photos and new interview with Tommy Shaw.
