Red Shea. What an incredibly underrated
musician. Just listen to his work on "If
You Could Read My Mind", "Miguel", "Apology",
and of course the trilogy. With all due respect to Terry Clements, I think Gord's
great songs could have been even stronger
had Red carried on, but hindsight is......
Clements' leads are effective, but somewhat
simplistic. But perhaps that's what they were
looking for as the music became more electric
and rock-tinged. But I'm really not complaining. Next time you listen to Gord's
earlier work, pay attention to Red's guitar-
quite an unsung hero.
