Burning Starr
Burning Starr is a solo band of
guitarist Jack Starr, one-time guitarist of
Virgin Steele
and several other bands
(in some cases, such as
Devil Childe,
playing under a pseudonym),
as well as recording several solo albums under his name alone
(not featured here).
Reviewed here is 1986's
No Turning Back, a fairly straightforward
hard rock/metal offering typical of the times, with a style
that is a bit dated today but wasn't bad for the time.
For whatever reasons Burning Starr was usually relegated to second
division status, though they did command a fair following during their
short run in the eighties.
The project has been dormant since 1989 (Starr has done other things
in the interim, among them
Guardians Of The Flame),
but the name was revived in 2009 and a new album
has been released,
Defiance.
