The theme from Creature (awaiting production on Broadway) and Rock Man Sings Geology are now property of Center Stage Productions, a theatrical production company based in Wisconsin. Elmos first professional recording since 1972, titled Wolves With Dark Glasses, mixed in Feb 1997, is available on cassette. It features great players from Eugene, Or. and Phoenix, Az., with lyric collaboration with author Mariah Wolf. The songs are all rock, with shades of country, heavy metal, pop, punk, and a Latin love song featuring Mingo Lewis (formerly of Santana and the Tubes) on conga. Lyric content ranges from deep and serious, sensual and moving, to sarcastic and silly, all with an unmistakable ring if truth. Elmo continues to write, with many tunes in the final stages prior to recording. Demo tapes of those recorded are available on request, with lyric and lead sheets as needed. See Elmo's website for a list of titles, starting with the most recent. Please direct your inquiries to: GreyWolf Projects GWPROJ@PacInfo.com |
