Moonrider

Album:

S/T 1975 Anchor, ANCL 2010
CD: Air Mail Archive, AIRAC 1084, Japan, 2005

Line-up:

Chico Greenwood - Drums
Bruce Thomas - Bass
John Weider - Guitar, Vocals
Keith West - Guitar, Vocals

A little-known sole outing from this mid-70s outfit signified a collaboration between 60s British star Keith West (ex-Tomorrow) and guitarist John Weider (Animals, Family, Stud, Brinsley Schwarz). It's a mellow country-rock album with memorable melodies in the vein of Cochise and Wishbone Ash. Definitely one for collectors, and this year's Japanese CD reissue is a welcome development!
