    The long awaited return of Veil of Ashes singer, Sean Doty, returns (with The 77's as his back-up band, no less!) and it's a good, good thing. We hear a couple covers, including the groggly "Eve of Destruction," and several other glimpses of his musical personality. "You're To Die For" is an infectious pop / love song with all the swagger of a Rattle and Hum era U2 number. These backup musicians are pretty darn solid! The more I listen to this, the gladder I am that this singer/songwriter didn't give up after the hit "Without Eyes" came out over a decade ago. Yeah, this boy rocks!

    The Phantom Tollbooth 2000Reviewed by Keith GilesA few of you may remember a band waayyy back in the eighties called Veil of Ashes? Others have no idea what I'm talking about. Don't worry about it.. Sean Doty, former front man for the now defunct Veil of Ashes, has released a solo album of sorts under the name Unveiled featuring a few of his friends on backing instruments. It just so happens that some of Sean's friends are Mike Roe and Mark…
