Keats

Backdated, archival post

---&---

An-other one of the many CDs I got for Christmas is Keats' self-titled, debut, and only album.  Keats was a band in the mid-80s composed of Colin Blunstone, Pete Bardens, Ian Bairnson, David Paton, and Stuart Elliott.  I've heard it described as an Alan Parsons Project spin-off band.  Except for Pete Bardens, all of the band members were involved with the APP, and the album itself was produced by Parsons.

In any case, more songs to learn!  I didn't know this until listening to the album, but it contains what is apparently the original version of "Turn Your Heart Around," which Blunstone re-recorded for his somewhat-recent album On the Air Tonight.

Speaking of the APP…  I'd been unsure of what to do with the handful of APP songs that Colin Blunstone provided vocals for, but I recently started an-other blog that's virtually identical to this one where the object is to learn all of the parts to all of the songs by the Alan Parsons Project.  So those songs will appear over there (hopefully).  I'm sure it'll be a bit rough in the early stages because I don't really know any APP songs yet.
