26 years after taking the U.S. rock charts by storm, the classic ballad “Anytime” fromsinger Robin McAuley is finally available, for the first time, via digital download. Originally released in 1989 on the MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP “Save Yourself” album, the song had new life breathed into it by writers Robin McAuley and Steve Mann.
“Most people don’t realize the song was written by me and Steve,” explains the charismatic singer, who is a current cast member of “Raiding The Rock Vault”, a Papa Entertainment and Mission Productions show about the evolution of classic rock which was voted “Best Musical” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal two year in a row. “As the original writers and musicians of the song, it was great fun to create a new version of it.”
“Anytime” reached No. 2 in the AOR charts and No. 6 in the Billboard Hot 100 in its day and currently has well over two million views on YouTube. It is no surprise, that fans are wondering why this song has never been available on iTunes. “I’ve been asked that question over and over,” said Robin. “It’s not just ‘Anytime’. Most MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP songs are unavailable on iTunes. I called Steve to vibe it out and we decided to shake off the dust and re-record it.”
