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.

Rare Earth on TBS
(Preview)
Hey Gang, A funny thing happened this evening. I was watching a rerun of the hit show, "My Name Is Earl." While I find the show entertaining, the funny thing is I kept thinking, this show always features classic rock and then I wondered if they ever had any Rare Earth songs on the show. They did...

Hey Mr. Terrana, if I recall correctly, in Mr. Rivera's book a brief reference was made to dinner time and the great importance of that when you and your brother were kids. Being a fellow Italian, I wanted to say that where I come from, a small town near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton PA (the town is Pittston)...

Rare Earth: In Concert...a reassessment

I was tidying up my computer office and doing a little cleaning tonight and was playing In Concert at the same time. Really, it's been quite some time since I have played it from start to finish. It was refreshing. In many ways it captures the band at a peak. Though the 1971-74 era was probably a peak as wel...

RAREARTH (1977): A *rare gem* that was **very** underappreciated!

And I mean *every* word I say 'bout that.. Created in 1977, after all the tumult that Pete & Co. went through, the album was prodcued by James Carmichael, renowned for his work with Lionel Richie & The Commodores. Ray Monette & Mark Olson were "A.W.O.L." on this one, for reason...
