Forgotten gem: Tyketto – Don't Come Easy

Tyketto – Don't Come Easy (1991): A Melodic Hard Rock Classic

At a time when grunge was beginning to dominate the music scene, American band Tyketto released their debut album Don't Come Easy in 1991. Although the album flew under the radar at the time, it is now considered a hidden gem within melodic hard rock.

Don't Come Easy opens with the energetic single "Forever Young," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Tracks like "Burning Down Inside" and "Wings" showcase frontman Danny Vaughn's powerful vocals, backed by sizzling guitars and a tight rhythm section. "Standing Alone" is a delightful rock ballad, while "Strip Me Down" adds a surprising bluesy twist with its harmonica intro.

What sets Don't Come Easy apart is the combination of strong songwriting and crystal clear production. The songs are rich in melody and harmony, with catchy choruses.

For lovers of melodic hard rock, this reissue of Don't Come Easy is an unmissable opportunity to (re)discover this album. The album is now available on colored vinyl (teal & white swirl).
