Title:
In the Heart of the Young
Description:
In the Heart of the Young (also known as Winger II) is the second studio album by the American rock band Winger. It was released by Atlantic Records in 1990. Beau Hill produced the album. Although coming out at the decline of the glam metal scene in the U.S., the release was a commercial success, prompting additional touring by the group.
The album was certified platinum and produced such hits as "Can’t Get Enuff”, "Easy Come Easy Go” and "Miles Away”, the latter reaching the Top 20 in the Billboard’s single chart. According to Kip Winger, "Can’t Get Enuff” and "Easy Come Easy Go” were late additions to the track listing, written because it was felt there were not enough rock songs on the album.[3] The album itself peaked at #15 at the album chart.
Winger followed the release of the album with a 13-month world tour, playing with other heavy metal groups such as Kiss, Scorpions, Extreme, Slaughter, and with hard rock group ZZ Top. A collection of music videos with the same title was released the following year in two separate VHS volumes.
Musically, In the Heart of the Young followed closely in the footsteps of the band’s first album. The members, however, also made some notable changes in comparison to that, particularly given the new emphasis on both progressive rock elements and sentimental ballads.
At least two more songs were recorded during the In the Heart of the Young sessions, but "All I Ever Wanted” and "Never” did not make it to the final album in America, because the producer Beau Hill found them too heavy for the Winger sound. Both were originally released as B-sides. "All I Ever Wanted” was later released as a bonus track on the Japanese pressings of the album, while "Never” was later released on Demo Anthology.
