Extract from the liner notes written by "Jangle
On" columnist Eric Sorensen:
"The tragic news that Tom Petty had passed away on
October 2nd, 2017 left a large void in the rock music universe (….).Horst-Peter
Schmidt, the gifted and prolific German singer/songwriter who has fronted
Different Faces and Starbyrd, has a similar strong connection to Tom Petty’s
music (….). Sometime late in 2017 or early in 2018, we discussed the idea of a
Tom Petty tribute song. The concept then grew from a single tribute song to a
CD-EP and eventually into this full-length CD. Joining Starbyrd on this tribute
album are fellow Petty enthusiasts Manfred Tessmer and Burckhard Thoenissen. The
“Starbyrd West” contingent includes Karen Osterloh, Scot Hoffman, Steve
Schaible and Ray St. Clair (….).
Listen To The Wind features two original tribute songs that
serve as bookends to nine reverential cover songs that are among Starbyrd's
favorite Tom Petty songs (….). Whether you are a diehard fan or a casual fan of
Tom Petty, you will dig these fresh takes on classic Tom Petty songs and you
will appreciate the sometimes haunting vocal and instrumental similarities
between the original tracks and these cover songs. “Listen To The Wind” and
you’ll hear Thomas Earl singing about his American Girl!

A word about the postage fees:
The German post service has increased its prices. Since the
start of the New Year, they want 16,00 Euros for shipping a CD, which is
outrageous and unacceptable for us and our customers.
If we sent the CD without the jewel case as a
"letter", the postage will be 3,70 Euros (regular postage) and 6,20
Euros (registered mail - which we recommend).
So the total price including postage will be 18,69 Euros or
21,19 Euros payable to our Paypal account starbyrd@t-online.de unless you
decide to choose the "jewel case option" which means 30,99 Euros (as
we don't want to support DHL's price policy, we would like to dissuade you from
choosing this option.).

Clarence White with Herb Alpert
A long time penfriend and correspondant just sent us a notice about Clarence White's playing a solo on "Country Lake", a track from Herb Alpert's LP " The Brass Are Comin' " from 1969.
We didn't know about that; nice find.
We don't know (yet) if Clarence is credited on the gatefold cover, but his participation has been confirmed by Gene Parsons (via Camille Parsons) and Bob Warford.

R.I.P. Bill Rinehart April 2017
Update 2019-01-09
I received two messages about this article, one that was kind and polite and another that was insulting. So I deleted most of the text, keeping it to basics.

A regular visitor made us aware of the passing last
year (April 2017) of ex-Gene Clark collaborator Bill Rinehart.
William Barbour Rheinhart was a founding
member of The Leaves, The Gene Clark Group and The Merry-Go-Round.
He wrote or
co-wrote many songs for all groups he was a member of, as well as for many
other famous (and less-famous) artists.
If you own his LP called "Dynamite" or if you know where to buy it or if you have a digital copy, please get in touch with us.
