Together they released a really solid effort in 1982 that featured the Canadian Top 40 hit "You Remind Me". But the ultimate hit from that album was "When I'm With You", which reached #1 in Canada and #61 in the U.S. An amazing tune! So, the album starts with the up-tempo tune of "You Remind Me". A very good and melodic track which features a nice riff and solo from DeMarchi. "California" is another rockier track with a strong and memorable chorus line. "Makin' My Day" has some amazing high-pitched vocal duties from Freddy Curci and a strong hook.
And it's the time that the most impressive track of the album appears! "When I'm With You" is a slow track and one of the so-called classic ballads of an era that will live forever. An essential tune filled with emotional vocals and an inspired guitar melody! "Kept Me Coming" is a faste paced rocker with an amazing solo! "Mama's Boy" is a rather average tune while "Crazy Without You" is up-tempo and has a nice vibe in it! "Elisa" and "Livin For A Dream" are both good tracks. "Give Me Rock N' Roll" is exactly what the song title says; a typical 80's hard Rock N' Roll tune! One of my favorite tunes here and Steve DeMarchi's smokes in this one!
Overall this is a very good debut album fromSheriff. Later Steve DeMarchi and Freddy Curci formed another excellent band; Alias. The rest of the story is well known....
