Here's a newly acquired Rodd Keith record which is certainly worth a spin or five. The first side, "Real Old Yankee Doodle Dandy", features Rodd in Middle-of-the-Road pop mode, with a really nice setting featuring a flute-led combo, with some really nice brushes on the drums. He's never lost his sand!: Play:
The flip side, "In Memorial" is, to me at least, unexpectedly moving. It's a blue-eyed soul arrangement of a well-written tribute to the writer's (recently?) deceased mother. Again, the drumming is a stand-out here, but the real star is a first rate lead vocal from Rodd.

thanks!
Huh. "In Memorial" is the backing track to "I'm Just the Other Woman." Can't say I love either side of this record, but I'm very glad you posted it...thank you.
