DORO-DORO-1990-FIRST GERMANY PRESS-VERTIGO-846194-1. Rare original limited edition includes a poster (70 cm x 35 cm) DORO is the second solo album by German singer of hard rock Doro . The album was released on September 25, 1990. Second album, Doro is more of a solo project than a group setting. In fact, the German singer chose a new musical direction, consciously separating the musical creative process from the normal dynamics of the group, contrary to what she always did in the past with Warlock . The production of the album was placed in the hands of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, the childhood idol Doro.Simmons provided five songs, including covers of psychedelic Electric Prunes hit The 60-ies of "I Had Too Much To Dream" and Black 'N Blue's" Rock On", and musicians, leaving an environment Kiss' to complete the entry. The song "Only You" is a cover of kiss from the album Music from The Elder (1981). He gave his protégé Tommy Thayer from Black 'n Blue (another group that was produced by Simmons) the chance to Shine as co-producer of the album along with Pat Regan. "I'll be Holding On" is a cover version of the song by Greg Allman from the 1989 film Black Rain .
