This auction is for The Textones Cedar Creek (Cassette). The cassette and case are in good condition for a 30+ year old tape. The cassette plays through without any breaks or blank spaces).
The rockers that dominate Cedar Creek reach the same rowdy and anthem-soaring levels as Midnight Mission. Bass
man, Joe Read’s opening track, “Not Afraid,” gives the album a
hard-core Stones-like kick in the ass while “Every Angel in Heaven”
calls up the best in Muscle Shoals soul. “You Can Run,” gives the band
the chance to flex their best Chuck Berry muscles with The Faces’ Ian
McLagan on piano. It’s the final track “We Can Laugh About It,” that
leaves even the casual listener with a feeling of bittersweet and abrupt
closure. A song co-written with Textones’ co-founder, Kathy Valentine,
it lends itself to the high-flying rock ‘n’ roll majesty this band
carried and leaves us today with the emotional weight of the final
recording of a band who, while never found by the public-at-large, never
lost their way or their vision.
