RAR TUNE OF THE WEEK:

Three New Tunes This Edition - This week's RAR original is really three including: "Gates" - a commentary on race relations in the U.S. built around last year's Henry Louis Gates police incident; "Laughing" (Nuke 'em From Orbit) - a meditation on an anticipated exchange at the pearly gates; and "Early Beatles" - an up tempo pop tip of the hat to the spirit of the Fab Four, complete with tributes to Beatles-specific arrangement devices.

FEATURED ARTiST  

 

Welcome to a Links at RARWRiTER Featured Artist page.  

 

This edition we spotlight  singer and writer VIOLETA, the mother-in-law of '60s icon Donovan Leitch. A life-long singer, personally if not professionally, Violet Lawrence, who is the mother of one of rock's most celebrated wives (Linda Lawrence), had a long-held desire to present a love letter to her husband Alec. What Violeta, as lyricist, and Donovan, as composer, producer, and accompanying vocalist, accomplished is an extraordinary delight and, yes, a surprise! In this article, Violeta tells us about her inspiration for the project, and Donovan talks about how he co-producer Brian O'Reilly brought it all together into Everlasting Love. RAR
