1161.0. "Carey, Tony" by FABSIX::K_KAMAR (Scorpio) Mon Jun 10 1996 07:48

    Geez...no entry in here for a long time....
    Suppose I'll put one in....
    
    I'm not overly familiar with RAINBOW, but I AM a fan of Tony Carey who
    used to be in the band.
    Some of his solo stuff ( " Fine Fine Day ", " First Day Of Summer ",
                             " I Won't Be Home Tonite "...etc. ) was really
    quite good. 
    Definitely NOT Metal, but it was good anyway. :-)
    
    Does anyone out there know whatever happened to him ?
    
    I have 2 albums of his, both are from the mid-to-late 1980's.
    
    I enjoy both immensely and I am always on the lookout for any new
    material he's releasing. ( If he's even still recording anymore. )

	I'm a BIG fan of Tony Carey. On CD I have: "Birds in Cages" [EP] "Cold War Kids" "I Won't Be Home Tonight" and on LP I have "Some Tough City", soon to be replaced on CD. The problem is, most of his stuff is only available as imports, and therefore expensive [$20-$30 each].
1161.2		BUSY::SLABOUNTY	Grandchildren of the Damned	`Mon Jun 10 1996 09:39`	19
	Here's 1 source for most of his stuff, including his solo and Planet P material. IMO, "Project" is 1 of the best albums of all time. RPM Records Carey, Tony- Blue Highway..........$19.99 Carey, Tony- Cold War Kids..........$24.99 Carey, Tony- For You..........$21.99 Carey, Tony- I Won't Be Home Tonight..........$19.99 Carey, Tony- Long Road..........$20.99 Carey, Tony- Planet P Project: Pink World..........$26.99 Carey, Tony- Planet P Project..........$18.99 Carey, Tony- Some Tough City..........$19.99 Carey, Tony- Story So Far..........$21.99 Carey, Tony- Storyville..........$21.99

	"Why Me" "Sitting up here watching all the lights blink down below, _______ is turning why does it go so slow. Thinking 'bout the girl I left behind, Houston can you hear me, or have I lost my mind? Why Me?"
1161.5	Don't let it be dance, please don't let it be dance...	POLAR::TYSICK	Lead, follow or get lost!	`Mon Jun 10 1996 10:12`	10
	RE: Slab I've never heard of this guy way up here...what kinda tunes does he put out...metal...rock...alternative? and who would ya compare him to... Thanks in advance! J
1161.6		BUSY::SLABOUNTY	Great baby! Delicious!!	`Mon Jun 10 1996 10:49`	7
	Progressive rock. Guitar/keyboard-oriented. Excellent stuff.
1161.7		FABSIX::K_KAMAR	Scorpio	`Mon Jun 10 1996 13:55`	17
	Well, I see this was moved from the RAINBOW topic and started as it's own... COOL !!!! :-) For all of you out there who aren't familiar with T.C..... His music is progressive rock...some of it is really mellow, some of it is " jazzy "... I think one of the only comparisons I could make would be to Billy Joel...( but, T.C. is " heavier ". ) He's got a VERY good voice too.....husky / gruff, but extremely melodic. :-) I heard a couple of RAINBOW tunes when he was with the band, and I pretty impressed....but, I prefer his solo stuff, even tho' it isn't Heavy Metal. * Kit *

	Fine, Fine Day came out when '85? '86? Great great song. Excellant vid too. I keep remembering the line 'keep the meter running til the $20 dollar mark.' Dave
