Styx was only a year in the grave before lead singer Dennis DeYoung ventured out on his own with his solo debut, Desert Moon. The solo record does not represent a significant stylistic departure from Styx's brand of pop/rock, although the emphasis is heavier on the pop and not as heavy on the rock. DeYoung continues his gut-busting vocal strategy, belting out his notes. The singer also supplies the keyboards, of which there are plenty -- this is a mid-'80s record, after all. Tom Dziallo handles the wailing electric guitars and arranged the cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Fire." The album yielded a Top Ten hit in "Desert Moon." ~ Evan Cater

The Soul and Heart of Styx No matter how bad deny the truth some close friends of the present formation of the band Styx, Dennis de Young was the driving and heart of the group and this CD is the proof. Submitted by hfmontalvo (Gaithersburg, MD, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
the voice If you were a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's you were a fan of styx. no matter what. And it really has to do with this man here Mr. dennis Deyoung. All of my favorite styx songs are sung by him. Come sail away, I'm OK, First time, best of times and dont let it end. So when dennis released his first solo album I was impressed. The album does have some tame moments but all in all it's a good listen. The title song is another excellent ballad. dont wait for heroes is a good rocker. But as a whole it could have been superb if it was a styx record. but to be honest get his greatest hits collection. His solo stuff is ok but a best of is the way to go.
