Rolling Stone : Foreigner's Double Vision: Foreigner (1012 words)
The Nineties were trying times for Foreigner, even before the tumor was found in the middle of lead singer Lou Gramm's head.
Jones recruited a new singer and cut a back-to-basics Foreigner album, Unusual Heat, while Gramm, having tasted solo success with two albums in the late Eighties, released a sharp, albeit not-quite-right for the times, pop-metal album with his new band, Shadow King.
And though Gramm and Jones remain committed to finishing a new Foreigner album (their shooting for next spring), both are happy to see their successful if often underrated history tended to with proper respect.
