Ken Greer CD discography Released shortly after the successful single "White Hot," Don't Fight It shows Red Rider balancing between the folk roots of lead singer Tom Cochrane and the more progressive rock tendencies of the rest of the band. Indeed, while the single "White Hot" (which is also included here) was different enough from other commercial music on the radio at the same time to attract some attention, the rest of the album is fairly traditional pop/rock.

The 1999 release Victory Day is a fairly good representation of the quintet. Driving rockers like the title track and "Calling America" are mixed with more stripped-down cuts like "Good Times." Cochrane gives voice to his often socially conscious lyrics in a voice that is effective when he belts them out or delivers them in more hushed tones. The songs are consistently engaging, if occasionally pedestrian. However, most of Victory Day is better-than-average '80s AO, and, as usual, the band does include one gem with "Big League." Based on a true story, it tells the tragic tale of a promising hockey ...
