Randy's discography

[NightMistBlue]

I bought the "wrong" (non-Randy involved) Electric Range CD, so I've had to order the correct one. Thus inadvertently, I will own the band's entire discography.

I didn't come up with the "Hot Stuff from Scottsbluff" tag, though I wish I did! I like its poetic contrast for someone as modest as the Meis.

Oh no, NMB, that's too bad. When I clicked on the cdbaby link, I noticed the release date said "2000." They did have an album released in 2000, Destiny's Deal, but Randy didn't produce it. I guess that's the one you ordered first (?).

DJ, the Electric Range cd is on itunes so you can listen to longer samples of each track, if you're interested. A couple of them sounded good to me, and the harmonies were really nice.

Cool, will do Thanks!

The Meistro Randy Meisner played bass on one track of Danny O'Keefe's 1975 album "So Long Harry Truman." That song is called "Steel Guitar" and dig these all-star credits:

“Steel Guitar”
Glenn Frey: guitar
Randy Meisner: bass
Don Henley: drums
David Lindley: lap steel guitar

Sweet Randy is credited with vocals on Mac Gayden's 1976 album "Hymn to the Seeker" but it doesn't say which song(s); maybe it's all of 'em?

Interestingly, Mr. Gayden co-wrote the perennial, much-covered classic "Everlasting Love". He wrote part of it when he was five. I mean pffft.

NMB, you're such a great Randy detective! I see the YT link you provided for "Steel Guitar" lists Mike Leech as the bassist. I know you can't always rely on the credits given on YT, though. I have found them wrong in the past.

Good to know about Mac Gayden, thanks!

Ok, I viewed this again and realized that the credits on the YT clip are general to the album and not specific to the track itself. When I looked up Danny O'Keefe's website, the credits are just as NMB listed for "Steel Guitar." It's a good track BTW. I appreciate the heads-up about it. Nice job, Eagles!

I love Randy's backing vocals and bass work on this track from the "Rudy the Fifth" album with Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band. The song is "Feel So Good." There's also some great pics of Rick here although none of the band members. I'm not sure who sings that lone high note around the 2:46 mark but I think it's Randy.

Hey kids! It's time to update Randy's extensive discography - and Timmy's too, as it turns out. In 1983, both of the beautiful bassists contributed backing vocals to the second solo album of Glenn Shorrock, former member of the Little River Band. You'll notice that both dudes sang on several of the same tracks. They sure crossed paths a lot, Tim 'n Randy. Was it intentional, were they buds? Or just both in demand as session singers? We do not know.

In the January 1983 Billboard article that wizardess Delilah found, it mentioned that Randy had done a self-financed three month tour, playing 50 dates around the country. He was the headliner for most of those shows, except for 13 where he opened for the Little River Band. Was Glenn still with LRB at that point? I don't think so.

EDIT: aw, snap - Photobucket won't show my image. Why are they such cretins? Well, who needs 'em. Pffft.

The album's title is "Villain of the Peace." Randy and Tim sang on the title track as well as "A Cry in a Jungle Bar" and "Angry Words."
