Rudy McNeely - Stars & Bars (1976)

♫

And another great little contribution by my French connection: this is Rudy McNeely, who I know absolutely nothing about. So, let me tell you what I hear and read. First off, it's a find alright. Vocally not too strong, but this is the kind of Southern Rock that I want to hear. Yes, the kind where they actually spend time on the arrangements. Very tasty stuff, excellent performance. Cool guitar bits and keyboards and real pleasant songs. This features guitarist Chris Leuzinger, who went on to become a star sideman on his own. Rudy, besides singing, plays guitar and piano. There's clavinet (I love that) and more keyboards played by Dwight Scott. And other musicians are: Jamie Nichol - percussion; Steve Krawcyzn - drums & Richard Brannan - bass. This is just plain good old (old school) Southern Rock. I'll have more of these any day! It'll get ya movin!
