Ask any of his collaborators and they'll tell you, Ronnie Lane was special. Sure, he was an exceedingly talented singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter; he was also a uniquely open-minded and welcoming collaborator who was more than willing to nurture talent. But what really sets Ronnie Lane apart is the way he subverted what it meant to be a popular musician. Unlike the majority of his peers, Ronnie Lane didn't want to be a rock star. He wanted his music to reach people, sure, but he'd

In the last few months, Real Gone Music has announced a number of welcome reissues of soundtracks on LP.  Next up in the series are two soundtracks to hard-to-find films, due out February 1:  one by a countercultural hero and voice of experimentation, the other by a pair of Faces who explore a rural blend of folk-rock. Timothy Leary remains one of the legends of the sixties counterculture scene.  He cashed in on the hippies' sense of adventure and experimentation to become a spokesperson for

Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane Mahoneys Last Stand
