AFTER DARK
After Dark is the second and last album by Los Angeles chicano rock band Cruzados, released in 1987. This album is lesser known to its 1985 preceder, as is the line-up for the band, which features guitarist Marshall Rohner in the place of Steven Hufsteter. The album featured fewer elements of blues, and featured more acoustic songs (“Small Town Love”, “Time for Waiting”) and even experimented with pop-rock (“I Want Your World to Turn”) and folk rock (“Road of Truth”). The album’s songwriting was also mainly done by rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Tito Larriva, with help from bassist Tony Marsico on a few songs. A year after the album was released, the band split up. (More from Wikipedia)
The Cruzados, After Dark – As it turns out, this is the only other album that the band made. I do not like it as much as the first album; Allmusic on the other hand gives this album 4 stars and the first album only 2.
