Souther, Vince Gill, and Lucinda Williams.
The Roomates come from England - via Philadelphia and New York. Formed in the mid-1980s, this quintet of young British rock 'n roll fans broke away from their contemporaries, (busy embracing rockabilly as the latest wave of American music culture hit the UK), to form a group who set out to prove there was more to music than slap bass clicks and rim shots. This features Nick Kennedy and brothers Mark and Steve Webb who celebrate 18 years together with the release of this album. Their influences include the Elegants, the Skyliners, the Duprees, the Mystics and the Passions to name just a handful of groups and you'll hear them echoed in many of the songs here.
Flautist Art Webb performed and recorded with top artists through the heyday of jazz fusion and furthermore made his mark on the salsa scene. Mr. Flute and Love Yes were his only two solo albums, both recorded in 1977 with the contrasting production teams of Patrick Adams and Jerry Schoebaum/John Lee. Patrick brings a soulful disco flavour to the debut Mr. Flute and features a collaboration with the group Raices, while former Roy Ayers producer Jerry alongside John Lee (of John Lee & Gerry Brown) bring a sophisticated soul flavour to songs like Arts classic reading of You Cant Hide Love featuring the vocals of Tawatha
