Raw Terra - Musician Richard d'Andrea
b'This episode of Big Blend Radio features Raw Terra, the the alter-ego of musician Richard d\'Andrea. Primarily a bassist, he is also a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
He was an early member of The Motels (in the historic Radio Free Hollywood lineup), The Know (with Gary Valentine and Joel Turrisi) and later forming Factor Four with Jeff Wolfe and joining The Roosters United with Jeff Jourard and Graham Daddy. He has also performed or recorded with many other musicians including Joan Jett, Michael Des Barres, The Halibuts, The Insect Surfers, The Furys, The Textones, The Roosters United, Bob Beland, Marc Platt, David Nigel Lloyd, Fur Dixon and Joao Erbetta.
After decades of playing in bands he decided to mix it up and embarked on solo recordings of his own compositions. 2018 marked the released of his first solo album \\u201cMars 12, Earth 0\\u201d and soon after the same album\'s backing tracks: \\u201cMars 12, Earth 0 - (Instrumentals)\\u201d (a nod to \\u201cStack-o-Tracks\\u201d).
\\u201cMystery Monkey Remix\\u201d, released August 2019, revisits and remixes two songs from that first album: \\u201c(Waitin\\u2019 for The) Mystery Train\\u201d is given a clearer, more punchier mix and \\u201cMonkey See, Monkey Do\\u201d is reworked with electric 12-string guitar and new vocals.
Original songs \\u201cEvery Little Bit\\u201d and \\u201cI Don\\u2019t Need You\\u201d make up his first 2-sided single release (December 2021) and he is working on the other songs that will comprise his second, as yet unnamed, album. More at https://www.rawterra.com/
