Staehely, Al & 10k Hrs
Al Staehely & 10k Hrs
Straight from rock and roll history comes the rare and classic solo album from former Spirit frontman, Al Staehely. Originally released as Stahaleys Comet (a deliberate misspelling of Als last name, in order to represent the pronunciation phonetically), this is the 1982 albums first appearance on CD and its first appearance on this side of the pond. 10K Hrs. is the first step in Als long-awaited and rockin return to stage and studio-and it wont be the last. Staehely kept the legendary progressive rock band Spirit alive after the 1971 departure of several founding members. Al brought a blues rock feel from his native Texas, proving with the acclaimed Feedback album that Spirit endured. Als songwriting talents led to covers by artists like Bobbie Gentry and Keith Moon, but his own interpretations rang truest. 10K Hrs. has muscle, energy, and rock and roll passion. Not to mention spirit.
