06 All Hail Zeppelin
Written by Bruce Stevenson; lead guitar: Mike Fowler; bass: Watson Pryor
I came up with this Zeppelin-like riff and because we were writing songs for the album that paid tribute to the bands we covered when we were touring, I thought it would be nice to try to make something that sounded like the instrumental Zeppelin (who could replicate Robert Plant’s singing anyway?!). The drum solo is not great, but it is a LIVE solo, unedited. I haven’t done a live solo in nearly forty years, so it is the best I could do and be authentic.
5. I Left the City -1974
One of the first songs Danny and Bruce wrote together. This version was recorded at Reflection Studio in Charlotte, NC in 1974. It was part of a four-song demo for Hit Attractions. We revived and modernized this song for the 2023 album Stevenson & Company “Out of Time”
“I Left the City – 1974”
7. Pretty Woman’s Gotta Crawl
OK – the most sexist song ever, written by Stev Guyer, but hey, we just played the songs back then! If you like the southern rock sound, and you ‘re a little egotistical, you’ll love this one! This was one of the four songs we did as a demo for Hit Attractions in 1974.
“Pretty Woman’s Gotta Crawl”
6. The Bathroom Song
Originally titled “Trapped for Life in a Bathroom by a Door That Don’t Open Right” this nonsense song is just pure 1970’s rock fun by our band, A L. Richard Band. Featuring Mike Fowler on lead guitar and Stev Guyer on lead vocals, this recording was made as part of a four-song demo for our agency (Hit Attractions) in the summer of 1974.
