Rhett Forrester - The Canadian Years - VINYL LP

High Roller Records, When the late great Rhett Forrester left New York's Riot after their well received 1983 »Born In America« album, it did not take too long for him to start work on his first solo record. »Gone With The Wind« was originally issued on French tag Bernett Records in 1984. »Even The Score« from 1988 was the second and last official solo album by Rhett Forrester as the legendary singer was shot and killed in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 22nd 1994 at the age of 37. Although »Even The Score« was not followed by another studio album, Rhett did not stop recording new music, collaborating with various musicians in different bands and projects over a period of six years until his untimely death in 1994. Two of them can be heard on »The Canadian Years«. Dr. Dirty (the group was initially called Mr. Dirty but the name was changed to Dr. Dirty because of the use of two D's for a logo) was the brainchild of guitarist Rob Robins. He explains InchScot Gaines on bass and myself had been writing for almost a year when we ran into Rhett Forrester in Calgary. He had just finished his time with Rick Plester's Black Symphony. We were looking for a singer to do some gigs with. Rhett's name was brought up and we had a meeting with him, and it seemed like a great fit!

No matter what we would throw at him, Rhett always delivered a great performance.Inch The actual demo sessions for Dr. Dirty took place from 1992 through to early 1993. Rob Robins InchWe did four songs in Calgary 'Red Bone Rock', 'Smoking Gun', 'In And Out' and 'Coming Home'. In LA we did 'Rescue Me', 'Hold On', 'Love Song' and 'Too Little Too Late'.

Engel in September 2021, »Even The Score« (originally released on US tag Rampage Records in 1988) was the second and last official solo album by legendary vocalist Rhett Forrester, following his debut »Gone With The Wind«. Forrester was shot and killed in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 22nd 1994 at the age of 37. When Rhett left New York's Riot after their 1983 »Born In America« album, it didn't take long for him to start work on his first solo album. »Gone With The Wind« was originally released in 1984 and recorded by Gary Bordonaro on bass and Carl Canedy on drums, both of The Rods fame, plus Paul Kayen on guitar. It took Rhett Forrester four more years to come up with the follow-up to »Gone With The Wind«. As before, guitarist Paul Kayen was once again handling the guitar duties, he was helped by a certain Chris Pati (bass, keyboards, backing vocals and drum programming). The partnership of Kayen and Forrester blossomed over the years, and the proof of that was »Even The Score«. The duo penned nine of the ten tracks (one being a cover version of the old Bad Company song InchReady For LoveInch). »Even The Score« was recorded in a variety of New York studios. Of raunchy hard rock numbers like the fiery InchBurning HeartInch, the more melodic and catchy InchAssume The PositionInch or the sharp rocker InchYou Will Be MineInch, Rhett Forrster commented in 1988 InchI'm a rhythm 'n' blues rock singer. My forte is singing rock 'n' roll and that's what this record is. Good, hard, melodic rock with hooks and melody. The record flows through a gamut of emotions. Paul Kayen and I put some great rock tunes together, as well as a ballad called 'See You In My Dreams' that I am really proud of.Inch The second solo album by the legendary ex-Riot singer Rhett Forrester, was much
