They covered an obscure songwriter named Richard Thompson with "Don't Let a Thief Steal Into Your Heart" (on the album Priority, 1979), so we know they had exquisite taste in music. RIP
That's very true - I'd forgotten that. Jules Come to think of it, RT makes some reference to this when introducing the song on Small Town Romance. I thought he was joking.  The album on which it appears also includes songs by Ian Hunter, Graham Parker, The Rolling Stones, Gerry Rafferty, Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Robertson. |

I'd forgotten about the RT cover; I had a vague thought the Pointers covered Andy F-Low's "La Booga Rooga"... I checked, and it was the Surprise Sisters (Aussies).

I saw Paul in Waysted when they supported Iron Maiden in 84. They got the best reception I ever saw for a support band. That was one loud gig. Maiden played at ear-splitting volume. |

I still listen to the first Lone Star album pretty regularly. An epic debut. |

RIP. I played a shed load of UFO a couple of days ago, although I don't think Paul played on any of it, it was the Schenker stuff. I did see PC play live with the band, they were always good. I'd forgotten he was in Lone Star. |

That's sad news... The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent is a terrific LP, possibly overshadowed by the Schenker years UFO, but every bit as good... |

I love that first Lone Star album remember Freeman giving them a session when unsigned and then playing the album in full on release on his Saturday Rock Show in the early 70's. RIP.

I saw him play live back in the 80s. It was an unusual experience. At one point he was howlingjinto the piano with the lid up. I have a few records and CD s featuring KT, and they are all great albums. |

Southern Rock legend, Charlie Daniels. From a stroke, apparently. He was 83 years old.
He was still releasing great records as eighteen months ago, bless him.

Charlie Daniels wasn't just who most people thought he was. He'd also been a session player, with Dylan, Cohen, and others.
Thanks for all the music, Charlie.
