Alan Raidt and Friends
Product Description A collection of blues, ballads, and blends. Some original Alan Raidt blues and ballads with some thoughtful covers. The use of acoustic guitars takes the edge off some otherwise gritty blues and adds layers to some touching ballads. Review Ever had burgoo? It would shock you to know how many Kentuckians don't even know what this native dish is. Alan Raidt is Burgoo. His latest release, Another Saturday Night, is a serving of this hearty, local favorite. Chop up some B.B. King, Jimmy Buffet, Warren Zevon, and Don Williams, throw in a dash of James Taylor and Van Morrison and just a smidgen of Bob Dylan and make sure it simmers for about ten years. You've got Alan Raidt and Friends. -- News4U, Evansville, IN, Jan. 2000 For 11 years, Alan Raidt and Friends have spent every Saturday night making music and entertaining Paducahans at Raidt's downtown restaurant, C. C. Cohen. Through the years, fans and tourists who stopped by for the musical jam session have asked if there was a record they could buy. "Another Saturday Night" was released November 14. The CD features acoustic insturments exclusively so it does not lose the feel of the band's live show. -- Paducah Sun, September 20, 1999 About the Artist Alan Raidt (pronounced Wright), Kevin Synan, Monty Bradford, Shawn Robasse, Dan BellAlan Raidt and Friends have been together, in one form or another, for over 11 years in Paducah, Kentucky.
