Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11 is Out!!-- Part 4

Tomorrow is the final Record Release party at the Mount Prospect, Illinois, Borders store by the late-great Randhurst Shopping Mall. We'll be there. This will be a real trip back to those days of yore when, as students at Palatine High School, we used to hang out at Randhurst.

Of course, about a year ago it was closed and much of it torn down.

The groups appearing:

New Colony Six
Cryan' Shames
Shadows of Knight
Mauds

THE LAST THREE SONGS:

CAN'T YOU SEE ME CRY (NEW ACOUSTIC VERSION)-- NEW COLONY SIX-- We usually have 12 tracks, but this year there is a hidden bonus track courtesy of our good friends at the New Colony Six and particularly Ray Graffia who wrote the song back in 1964 and its original version is on this album (track 3). here is an acoustic version all these years later to show how timeless it is.

WILDFLOWER-- SKYLARK-- A Canadian group that featured a keyboardist by the name of David Foster who would go on to become one of the biggest producers in the music business, working with everybody. Closer to home, he did a couple albums with Chicago in the 1980s and even co-wrote one of their biggest hits (and perennial wedding song) "You're My Inspiration."

But, this is a young David Foster in 1973 with a Top Ten hit. (Who voted for this clunker? I rank it right up there with "Feelings." Gag Me!)

FACE THE AUTUMN-- THE FAMILY-- The most requested song we got this year, making its CD debut, yet another area band and another local hit from 1967.
