REVIEW
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Seeds proved to be Brother Cane's breakout release, launching a string of hard-rock radio hits. For its sequel, Wishpool, the quartet wisely decided to replicate the sound of Seeds, turning out a set of heavy rockers that have the style of '70s AOR and the production of '90s post-grunge. While it lacks anything as flat-out catchy as "Got No Shame" or "And Fools Shine On," there are plenty of sturdy songs on the record. Brother Cane may not push forward into new territory on Wishpool, but it delivers exactly what its fans would want, and that's enough.
BIOGRAPHY
by Jason Ankeny
The Birmingham, Alabama-based hard rock quartet Brother Cane was formed in 1990 by singer/guitarist Damon Johnson and bassist Glen Maxey; originally called Chyld, the group's line-up was soon complete with the addition of guitarist Roman Glick and drummer Scott Collier. After signing to Virgin Records, Brother Cane issued their self-titled debut LP in 1993, with the first single "Got No Shame" becoming a major hit at AOR radio; a short time later, however, Maxey quit the band, at which time Glick assumed bass duties, and with new guitarist David Anderson they soon returned to the studio to begin work on 1995's Seeds. Wishpool followed in 1998, launching the hit "I Lie in the Bed I Make."
