Monette at his best...

Everyday I practice drums by playing along with songs. (like in the old days) and today I decided to play along with Rare Earth songs. Well I just had to stop and say that in my opinion Ray played one of the best solo's in my experience with him, on the song..... The Seed..... I forgot how much I loved that so...

Is it true that Rare Earth did some work in the 90's with Russ Ballard from Argent following the Different World cd. Did the band record Hold Your Head Up? Perhaps Gil or Ray can confirm, it is an interesting story anyhow. Look forward to the new cd which I only just read about on this site.

It seems that Ralph has had his email account hacked into and people in his address book are getting emails from him claiming he's stranded in the UK after being mugged. Cash up to $3500 is being requested to get him outta there and home. It's all a big hoax, so don't send any money whatever you do. As if Ral...

KEEF JAMES - One Tree Or Another
(Preview)
Love the album, but does anyone know who was responsible for the orchetrations? The Aaron Copeland pastoral treatment used to great effect here in this folk rock idiom. This stuff is as good as anything by Jean Claude Varnier's arrangments for Serge Gainsbourgh. There is no information on my LP.

One World & Willie Remembers: Anyone Got MP3s Of Them?
(Preview)
Does anyone have mp3s of the songs on "One World" and on "Willie Remembers"? Back a million years ago (1971 & 1972), I and about 15 other people had purchased each of these albums. I and, I suspect, those 15 others loved those two albums. However, sadly, Katrina must have w...

Keef James
(Preview)
I posted a few tracks of Keef James 1972 release "One Tree or Another" on Youtube, due to the paucity of his music or available information on the web. I think this album is badass, more from the Aaron Copland-ish orchestrations and Keef's voice than anything else. If anyone has any info the...
