Issue 18 of R2
The next issue of R2 (formerly Rock N Reel) will be out next week and features a couple of features by myself.
The big one is an interview with none other than Robert Cray. I did a phone interview with him back in August, chatting about his new album. Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Albert Collins and his starring role in National Lampoon’s Animal House.
Here’s a sneak preview:
In 1978, Cray made his film debut in the film National Lampoon’s Animal House, which was directed by John Landis and starred a pre-Blues Brothers John Belushi. Cray was the bass player in the house party band Otis Day and the Knights and appeared in the frat party scene.
“It wasn’t a starring role, but I was in it,” he confirms. “We were just extras. We didn’t get a credit on the film. There were of bunch of us guys who were local musicians, around the Portland, Oregon area and we were asked to be in the film. It was cool.”
The issue also has an interview by me with the equally lovely Bex Marshall, who is a British singer and well worth investigating.
