1999 digitally remastered reissue of their 1982 album and third overall.10 tracks. Recorded at the storied Colorado studio Caribou Ranch, III Wishes captures this killer Kansas City sextet in a holding pattern, where the rootsy vocal of Gary West transmogrifies into Steve Perry's soaring croon. III Wishes music CDs Even the usual expert musicianship resembles a certain Bay-Area phenomenon. III Wishes songs Journey boardsman Kevin Elson shouldn't shoulder all the blame. III Wishes album Sure, Shooting Star deserves a piece of the AOR profit as much as any act, but the group is too talented and honorable not to make music on their own terms. "Do You Feel Alright" seems a bit too knuckleheaded from a band with deep spiritual leanings III Wishes CD music. "Couldn't Get Enough" keys into the passion of previous outings, but the trite chorus comes off forced. Shooting Star managed to work around clichιs before, but the boys can't affect the listener if their hearts are not in the proceedings. By the last cut, "Whole World Watching" (with Chicago-ish keys), it's obvious Shooting Star wants to please too many people.
