[AOR/Synth Rock/Melodic Rock/Pop Rock/Rock/New Wave] Here is guitarist, drummer, singer, songwriter, and musical director Kevin Wells with his 1985 solo debut album titled: "Little Acts Of Treason". An amazing AOR Synth Rock album that has unfortunately faded away into obscurity. A real shame that this album didn't take off because Kevin truly delivers every song with such energy and power. I personally think that this album deserved so much better than what it got because I absolutely love each track on it, especially "I'm Still Waiting" (Track 1), "Night Life" (Track 5), and "Love Is On The Line" (Track 8). Versatile at everything from jazz to hard rock, Kevin Wells has played on the road and in the studio since the age of 15 with dozens of major acts. He has worked with John McFee from the Doobie Brothers , Carlene Carter, Pablo Cruise, Tower Of Power, Jack Mack And The Heart Attack Band, The Pointer Sisters, Steve Goodman, Glenn Medeiros, Robbie Dupree & was also Laura Branigan 's live band musical director. He's probably better known as Huey Lewis & The News drummer & vocalist, recording on "Sports" and co-writing with Andre Pessis with their hit "Walking On A Thin Line". In 1985 Kevin released this one and only album which was produced by the legendary team of Peter Bunetta & Rick Chudacoff (Robbie, Dupree, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson). This album features some of the best studio musicians from the time including the legendary Dan Huff on guitar, Vinnie Colaiuta, Bill Cuomo, John McFee, Jim Photoglo, Leslie Smith, Hamish Stuart, Larry Hoppen and "Break My Stride" artist Matthew Wilder as background vocalists. You can definitely hear Matthew Wilder's voice in the background of "I'm Still Waiting" (Track 1) during the chorus sections, lol. This album was released on vinyl and cassette in America by Beverly Glen Music and in Japan by Victor Records. In 2017 in was reissued on vinyl and CD by Sunset Dreams Records (btw this is the CD version of the album). Overall, Kevin Wells "Little Acts Of Treason" is a fantastic collage of AOR/Melodic rock motifs that sound like they would fit perfectly into an 80's movie montage scene. This album was released under Beverly Glen Music and Victor Records '85.
