Interesting, the Eagles opened for the J Geils Band.

Always finding out "new" (to me) things about the fascinatin' Randy Meisner.
The versatile Hot Stuff from Scottsbluff produced the 1996 debut album from a band of SoCal music veterans called Electric Range. Because of Randy's experience in recording three and four part vocal arrangements, he was thought to be a perfect fit. He also played bass on one track and contributed backing vocals to three others.

"Hot stuff from Scottsbluff" -- I love that!
Thank you for the info about Electric Range; I'm continually impressed by the talents of our Mr. Meisner. I'll have to check it out some more, esp. the tracks where he plays bass and sings backup.
I ordered the CD, so when I get it I'll let you know which tracks he's on.
Great find NMB! I have not heard of Electric Range before, will have to check it out.
I also love the "Hot Stuff from Scottsbluff" very true of our dear Randy!
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.
