Mancuso and Naro joined forces to write the first self-titled D Drive album. Singer Lou Gramm (The Lou Gramm Band, Foreigner, Black Sheep) heard the demos for the D Drive CD, asked if he could come in as guest vocalist/co-writer, and they obliged!

"I've followed D Drive since the very first D Drive debut CD in 2005. As a lover of classic rock 'n' roll, I was intrigued then and even more so now. This is their best yet. It's tight. It's original, head-bangin, hot, 2010 classic rock that will stick with you. "
