Marc Jordan - A Hole In The Wall (1983) [1999]

Regarded by many as a true West Coast / AOR classic, “A Hole In The Wall” by MARC JORDAN is indeed one of the Top albums of all time from the genre.

What most West Coast albums from the ’80s have in common is an impressive list of songwriters and musicians, and for “A Hole In The Wall” (which took 14 months to complete) Jordan and his record company invited co-writers like David Foster and Steve Kipner as well as famous players like drummer Mike Baird, keyboard player Robbie Buchanan, Richard Page to provide heavenly backing vocals, percussionist Lenny Castro, Mike Porcaro from Toto and Neil Stubenhaus to play bass, and many more.
… And many more include no other than Jay Graydon, Mike Landau & Steve Lukather to handle all guitars: having these 3 monsters (on many songs playing together) on you record is like a dream come true.

All that L.A. Session magic resulted in a Top quality album, featuring such beauties as the opener “Slipping Away”, the title track, “Love Like A Wheel” or “Thieves” (which is about Jordan’s mother).
