High Gain's Hard Rock & Americana Archive

Hello, I'm High Gain.  I'm a rock 'n' roll junkie.  Growing up in the late-60's, 70's & 80's, the era of the best rock music ever created (in my humble opinion), influenced my life in so many ways... and still does.  So a lot of my focus here will be on that music.  If you grew up on the same or are just wanting to expand your rock 'n' roll horizons, you just might enjoy what I'll be serviing up. Rock On! I run on only the highest octane coffee and I recommend you do the same!

Lizzy Borden - “Master Of Disguise” Released July 15, 1989 on the “Master Of Disguise” album

VERY IMPORTANT!!! --- Before clicking play, you must crank that volume knob up to 11... it’s as simple as that.  This album and “Visual Lies” are a couple of absolute rockers with some smart lyrics.  Lizzy has the knack for making concept albums that aren’t concept albums... it all happens through osmosis.
