2011 Soleil Moon – On The Way To Everything

On The Way To Everything is the second album by Soleil Moon. It was in 2011. The songs had been recorded periodically since 2001, whenever the group had time in the studio in between other projects. Airplay Direct described the album as “Blending bittersweet, melodic ballads, burning hard-rock riffs, percolating R&B grooves, and anything else that happens to suit their fancy, Soleil Moon has made an album about life’s journey, and the conceptual arc is so striking that there’s already been an offer to turn it into a musical.”

Soleil Moon is an adult contemporary band founded in 1999 by musicians Larry King and John Blasucci. They have released the studio albums Worlds Apart (2000) and On The Way to Everything (2011). The songs are chiefly co-written by King and Blasucci, and the band’s recording sessions have included groups and notable musicians such as the London Symphony Orchestra, guitarist Michael Thompson, jazz musician Paul Jackson Jr., saxophonist Warren Hill, drummer Kenny Aronoff of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Todd Sucherman of Styx.
