Eddie and the Tide

The quintet from Berkeley, CA, were led by vocalist Eddie Rice and included guitarist Johnny Perri, keyboardist Cazz McCaslin, bassist George Diebold, and drummer Scott Mason. Their 1985 major-label debut, Go Out & Get It, was fairly straightforward barroom rock with a hint of new wave mannerisms. The brooding, mid-tempo "One in a Million" became a hit at AOR radio in late summer and the song spent two weeks on the pop charts (peaking at number 85). Two years later, the track "Power Play" would appear on the gold-selling soundtrack to the smash movie Lost Boys. ~ Tom Demalon
