Richard Souther - CROSS CURRENTS (1989)

Back in 1989 we did a video to help promote my then latest project "Cross Currents" on Narada/MCA. With the help of my friends, Kirk Whalum on sax, Randy Ray Mitchell on guitar, Dennis Holt on drums and myself on keys, we worked with Gerald Casale (DEVO) directing and cinematographer Jim Jarrard to see this little vision come alive... very quickly. Special thanks to: Ennio DiBerardo at the 4202 Company, Pat Peach (executive producer), Eric Lindert and the support team at Narada for all their help~Richard 70x7

You didn't happen to make a video for 'Safe Harbor', did you Richard?

@dharmaseed ~No but I wish we could have :-)

[northblip]

Hey thanks you so much! :-)

If you go to some place like Amazon and look for a CD called "Tranquil Moods: Dream Suite", well...that is really "Heirborne" with a cheesy cover. The music is the same though. It's just that when the Meadowlark label was sold, the albums became a "bargain basement" series :-(

The Long Riders! I reckon one of the best pieces Souther has ever composed.

@northblip Had this on cassette way back in '90. You have no idea how difficult it was to find!

I had Cross Currents on vinyl back in the 80s. Great stuff, but I still love "Banana Shakes" the best!

I never knew U made a video 4 this song, but then again, we didn't have U Tube or the Internet back in '87 when I first heard "Cross Currents" on cassette nor did this fit the MTV genre. It was1 of those cassettes that helped get me through high school in '89. I later tried 2 purchase it on CD in the mid 90's after college and working, but it had gone out of print. I was glad to finally C it come available N mp3 format on Amazon. I've heard UR other works, but "Cross Currents" is UR best.

I found Cross Currents by accident in 1989. Bought it and since then has become one of my all time favorites. Love that Narada music.
