Mike Keneally With Earl Thomas

BLUE...NOT BLUES (Bizarre/Straight) released in 1991

MK involvement:
Lead guitar on "Your Love."

Comments:
I think I recorded this track the same day I did the Solomon Burke session...like Solomon, I hadn't even met Earl at the time. My playing on this song is a mutant hybrid of Mike Keneally and Carlos Santana. It just pops up for a minute at the end of the song and fades politely away.

EXTRA SOUL (Bizarre/Planet) released in 1994

MK involvement:
Co-writer of "I Am The Cool."

Comments:
The day I went to Herb Cohen/Bob Duffey's office to submit the songs I'd written for Screamin' Jay's "Somethin' Funny Goin' On" album, Earl happened to be there as well. Even though I'd played on his "Blue...not Blues" album three years earlier, this was in fact the first time I'd met him. He hung around while Herb listened to my demos, and dug "I Am The Cool" to the point of recording it as well. He custom-tailored the lyrics to suit his own vibe, so his version is quite distinct from Screamin' Jay's, all you collectors out there.
