"The Roaring of Dreams", PRIDE OF LIONS' third release is possibly their most focused and distinctive album. In the words of main songwriter, guitarist/vocalist/ivory tinkler Jim Peterik: "The sound we've established in the first two cd's is now familiar to the AOR / Melodic audience. With this album we strove to emphasize all the elements that we are best noted for: big hooks, soaring melodies, clever modulations, inspiring messages, the rock-solid Pride Of Lions band and of course Toby Hitchcock's amazing range and talent".

Cowboy Mouth's major label debut Are You With Me is a fiery fusion of roots music, ranging from rockabilly and blues to country, cajun and R&B. Though they weren't able to capture the reckless energy of their wild, careening live shows on Are With me, Cowboy Mouth retains their punky edge. This isn't revivalism – this is a raw, rockin' party. - AMG Album Pick
