Ron Keel started out in the band Steeler with Yngwie Malmsteen. After Keel he did a few country records, which I haven't heard, but are probably better than most so-called 90s "rock".
I love Malmsteen. I haven't really heard Steeler but I assume I'd like them, just can't ever find anything by them.
Alcatrazz was a good band, too.
Keel's country stuff ain't bad, but then again I'm not a country fan so what do I know!!
