After Dark, the second album from Los Angeles rockers Cruzados, came out on Arista in 1987 with a crowd at the controls: Greg Ladanyi, Waddy Wachtel, Rodney Mills, Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg all share the production credit. Marshall Rohner had taken over lead guitar from Steven Hufsteter, and Tito Larriva, who'd come out of the Plugz, drew the songs from his years in El Paso and Mexico City, even reviving the Plugz' "Blue Sofa".
The guest list is something else. Pat Benatar sings on "I Want Your World to Turn", and on "Road of Truth" JD Souther, working in the same studio, asked to add backing vocals, while Paul Butterfield blew harmonica on what turned out to be his last recording. "Bed of Lies", co-written with Lynne Marie Stewart, climbed to number 4 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart. The band toured North America behind it, including a stretch opening for Fleetwood Mac, and split the following year.
