Rick Watson and the Unsung hero Band-great music !

Post by Larry Lenhart »

I just ran across this video on youtube and was blown away in all regards...nice tunes, beautiful voices and instruments and a great setting !

I ran into their version of "If You could read my mind" first and loved it, but all their tunes are great !

Bruce Derr on steel sounds great ! Maybe he is a forum member...I dont know.

Yes, these guys are fabulous. I am fortunate enough to live near them and get to hear them often.

And, yes, Bruce is a long-time forum member (founding member?) with hundreds of posts. Great player and a great friend.

Dan
I am envious..would love to be able to see them in person.

Do you know if they have a cd of cover songs...I couldnt find anything on their website, but would sure like to have one.

Hey Larry,

I am lucky, indeed! I don't believe they have a CD or plans to make one. They are focused on making videos, and they only play out a minimal amount. Bruce and Rob Kneeland, the drummer, are in about six bands together, and Rick (guitar) and Todd (bass) keep active elsewhere.
