James Deely & the Valiants was a popular band from New Jersey in the 1980s who were known for great live shows. This album was my introduction to them and my cassette tape got a ton of use to the point where I was grateful that James put his early catalog on CD. My favorite track is "A Dozen Roses" - one of my all-time favorite songs by a Jersey artist. Many years later, while living on the west coast, James Deely would begin releasing records again on a regular basis - including some of his best work.
