Return To Paradise

In the summer of 1996, the members of STYX reunited for the first time in 13 years to tour the United States, much to the delight of their loyal fans who flocked to the shows making the "Return To The Paradise Theatre" tour one of that summer's most successful -- financially and critically. The gratification of the response to their return, encouraged Dennis DeYoung, James Young, Tommy Shaw and Chuck Panozzo to make the tour more than just a one-time reunion and to get back together as a recording and touring act.

The new album on CMC, "Return To Paradise, " contains three brand new STYX songs written or co-written by Tommy and Dennis. The rest of the album is newly recorded versions of STYX classics from the "Return To The Paradise Theatre" tour last summer. Among the new tunes is one called "Dear John" which was written by Tommy as a tribute to their longtime drummer John Panozzo, who passed away just as the band was getting back together. "That was the one down side of the whole experience, " Shaw admits. "It felt, and probably will always feel, as if something's missing without John. One night on the bus I was thinking about how much I miss having him around and that's when the song just happened. " Another new track, "On My Way" also written my Tommy shows that STYX can rock with the best of them. And Dennis' "Paradise, " a beautiful ballad from his upcoming musical "The Hunchback of Notre Dame, " maintains DeYoung's fascination with paradise.
