Good love, what does it take

Gimme what I need, please don't stop

'Electric Rattlebone' was a great record. It was such a shame that the music industry had no idea what to do with them. This song brings back so many memories. It'd be great if somebody could post 'Ride With Me.' That was my favorite song on the album.

There was a 2nd album called "Just A Taste" that was never officially released. There's a torrent of it floating around out there somewhere. It's demo quality at best, but it is a good album. I'll post some stuff from it soon.
