Description
Into the Son is an album by the American melodic hard rock band Follower, independently released on Quicksilver Records in 1985. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by band member Kerry Crafton for New West Entertainment at Studio West in Austin, Texas.
Follower is Lance Keltner (lead vocals, guitars on track B3), Kerry Crafton (rhythm guitar and background vocals), Brian Wooten – later of White Heart fame (lead and rhythm guitar, background vocals), John Howard (bass, Kurzweil Strings), and Fred Howard (drums).
Solid Rock from Oklahoma and Follower from Austin, Texas both produce solid AOR-styled rock in the tradition of Petra, and are more or less successful at forging their own identity in a quality package. Solid Rock sounds a touch more like ‘Beat the System‘ with their emphasis on synths and technologically dependent hooks, while Follower forges more of an upbeat rock sound with solid guitars, straight-ahead lyrics, and good energy to carry them across. [Brian Quincy Newcomb, CCM, November 1987]
