VSQ Power Ballads

Rock ‘n’ roll has always been wild and the bad boys who fronted these bands rarely got any approval from parents. However, the concept of power ballads creeped into the ‘70s allowing rockers to show their softer side while they maintained the big choruses, heavy drum solos and guitar riffs. The Vitamin String Quartet takes these melodies of broken hearts and sentimental hooks, translating them into lush string arrangements. Violin, viola and cello hit close to home without losing their cool on this great tribute to rock’s most popular power ballads such as Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”
