Rock On! (1991)

"Shannon's final album is a fitting testament to a great artist who never lost what it was that made him great. The album is passionate, dramatic, emotional, and full of great songs. Most of all it has that amazing voice, and yes, Shannon's majestic voice is as strong as ever here. Check out his growling vocals on "Walk Away," his soaring croon on "I Go to Pieces," or his aching falsetto on "Callin' Out My Name." This is a singer who was still in his prime, maybe not as nimble as he was 30 years earlier but he made up for it with more gravity and vulnerability. His songwriting was still strong too. Tunes like "Who Left Who" and "Lost in a Memory" are rooted in the past but not merely recreations of glory days long gone. The somewhat overly scrubbed and processed production by Jeff Lynne and Heartbreaker Mike Campbell leaves the record sounding exactly like every other record Lynne produced around that time, like Tom Petty's "Into The Great Wide Open" or the Traveling Wilburys' first."
