After recording two unsuccessful albums with Christian rockers White Heart in the early '80s, guitarist/vocalist Dann Huff found refuge in session work, eventually becoming one of the most requested, reliable, and versatile players in the business. But after years backing everyone from Michael Jackson to Amy Grant, Huff decided to give it one more go fronting his own band, forming Giant with his brother David on drums, Alan Pasqua on keyboards, and Mike Brignardello on bass. They eventually signed with AM Records and released 1989's Last of the Runaways, featuring a classic, melodic hard rock sound, and which yielded a Top 20 hit with "I'll See You in My Dreams." Record sales were sluggish however, and the band found themselves on Epic for 1991's Time to Burn. Slightly more aggressive than its predecessor, the album still failed to advance their career, and the band soon dissolved. Dan Huff has returned to sessions, and besides working with countless artists including Shania Twain and Michael W. Smith, he has also produced two records for metal giants Megadeth.
