Randy Meisner 1978
This is Randy Meisner's first recordings after leaving the Eagles in 1978. Previously, it was only released in Japan and available in the USA by bidding... For some reason, this release was overlooked, but now it is available here ... at a reasonable price and is well worth checking out if you are a fan of Randy's. It was the first time he was the lead vocalist on all of the tracks and his first experience at picking all the material to record. He did a new rendition of "Take It To The Limit" with guitar, piano and vocals and another song that was in the Eagle's vein, "Every Other Day". "Bad Man", written by J.D. Souther and Glen Frey, is a real rocker. There are some great players - John Hobbs, Victor Feldman, Ernie Watts, Byron Berline, Steve Edwards and background singers like David Cassidy and J.D. Souther. This is the best version of "Lonesome Cowgirl" I've heard and it really cooks. There are a couple of nice ballads and his versions of a few oldies. This cd shows Randy in transition to becoming a hit artist on his own. The production is good and I recommend it.
