The ambition of a guitarist who breaks new ground in hard rock
Tommy Shaw presents a fusion of melody and power.
1984's "Girls With Guns" marked the beginning of Shaw's career as a solo artist. It marked a departure from his work with Styx, combining hard rock energy with pop melodies. The album's guitar playing is also brilliant, making it a symbol of the diversity of '80s rock.
