Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
I was digging through my glove box the other day and I found a tape that I hadn't listened to for quite a while. I popped it into the radio and cranked it up, much to the chagrin of my daughter. It brought back memories of being just out of the Navy, single, and the prospect of starting a bank & playing in bars.
Ahh, fond memories.
The band in question is Lord Tracy. I had never heard of them until my good friend Bob and I went to the old Bacchanal in Kearny Mesa to see Ace Frehley in concert - Lord Tracy opened for them. Even though I had not heard their material before that night, I had a blast watching them, especially their bassist, Kinley Wolfe aka Barney; the man played with a touch that is only rivaled by Billy Sheehan. If you don't know who Billy is, then it'll be hard to explain just what a monster bass player he is and what a trip it is to see him play.
I decided to check the Internet and see if Lord Tracy was still around - they are. I'll be getting a CD to replace my worn-out tape as time/money permit and I'll be keeping an eye out to see if they'll be coming to San Diego. This is one band that I definitely want to see again.

Oh yeah! Lord Tracy are DEFINITELY around!
In fact I driving to Memphis tomorrow where they are playing at a Muscular Dystropy association fund raiser put on by The Stage Stop.
I was the sound man and the guy that recorded about 120 demo songs of theirs. I was too busy to work on the Def Gods release, but you'll be able to hear "our" other work because we are now releasing a bunch of un-released stuff! If you lok at Terry's website you will find a Lord Tracy section with all of the info. www.glazedmusic.com
They played in Memphis for the first time in THIRTEEN YEARS back in June and then played in Dallas the following weekend. I made the trip to Memphis and manned the console for the two nights (we recorded that show as well,) but I had commitments and had to miss the Dallas show.
We were all amazed (even the band!) at how much it was just like they had played the week before instead of 13 years earlier! Everyone has been playing and has a band, so it wasn't that difficult to get back in the groove. I remembered every fader move and effect, but I had all of the songs archived and had heard them more times in recent years than they had.
Future plans other than tomorrow in Memphis include a New Years Eve goig in Memphis and probebly a Dallas area Christmas show. We are also planning on recording around Christmas as well. Terry is a VERY prolific songwriter, so there is LOTS of material!
If you saw them in San Diego it was at the very end of the Ace Tour. I quit going on the road with them just prior to that tour, so I wasn't the mixer at the show you saw. A gofy little guy named Peter took over for a while. That was also about the end of that tour because Ace took a bunch of acid and went to Disneyland and had a "breakdown" of sorts. It ended the tour, but I was never around the guy... I heard MANY stories!
Look at Terry's website and you can find info about new CDs and stuff. There is a CD we are currently offering that is a live broadcast from a ZRock show we did in Dallas at the end of a Florida tour. It rocks and is a VERY good example of the guys at their peak playing before a VERY enthusiastic homtown crowd. I recorded and mixed about 99 or 100 of the ZRock concerts during that time, but the LT show was my favorite.
There is also going to be a DVD released, but I'm not sure of the details. There was a video made in Memphis, but I am not sure of the status. I'm not certian that Terry has "OK'd" it!
Regards,

BTW... I have recorded BOTH Kinley and Billy Sheehan. Billy is good.... VERY good. Kinley is legendary. Kinley is as serious as it gets as far as a bass player or a musician goes! Kinley's tone also STOMPS Billy's. Billy's tone was kinda' contrived and simulated loud. Kinley's was MONSTEROUSLY LOUD and tough as f*cking nails!
He'd never say he was better though.
KInley played for the Cult as well after Lord Tracy and recently he has played for a country(ish) guy.

And I didn't mean to compare Billy vs. Kinley - IMO there isn't basis (no pun intended) to compare two musicians of such caliber; both rock in what they do. (I've tried to pick up some of Kinley's bass lines - man, they are TOUGH!!)
