Kings X 2

 

1989’s Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, the band’s second studio album, is based loosely on a short story by drummer Jerry Gaskill and is considered a landmark album, containing many fan favorites including “The Burning Down,” “Mission,” and the power ballad “Summerland.”  The song “Pleiades” is credited by Ty Tabor as being the genesis of the King’s X sound when he presented the demo to the other band members a few years earlier. The track “Over My Head” was also important in the band’s career, receiving considerable play on MTV and radio, and ultimately setting the band up for broader success on subsequent albums.

 

Kings X1When  King’s X released Faith Hope Love in 1990, it became the band’s highest charting release and broke into the Billboard Top 100. Fueled by the massive radio hit “It’s Love,” King’s X saw well- deserved ranking on the U.S. singles chart, reaching #6 ~ the band’s highest position ~ on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The album proved to be King’s X‘s most commercially successful, reaching gold status in the U.S. and cementing a fan following that is loyal to the band to this day.
