SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:42 Min.
This rock tune was recorded by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band for 1989’s Eddie & The Cruisers II soundtrack. For the film, Cafferty provides the voice of ‘Eddie Wilson,’ while Michael Paré does the acting. This particular song appears only briefly as background music in the movie. Yet, it isn’t ever made clear if the song is material from Eddie’s new band or came off a ‘mystery tape’ Eddie had recorded more than twenty years before (presumably, one should think the former).
REVIEW:
Its assets are an upbeat rock melody tinged by R&B and John Cafferty’s energetic vocals. Yet, “(Keep My Love) Alive” just sounds very much like it’s filler material. The tune is still solid listening on the complete album — the track itself isn’t likely worth a solo download.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
