Rock Rap
Mike Rutherford
As a founding member of Genesis, guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford was instrumental in creating the progressive rock sound of the '70s. While the band has always operated as a collective unit, its frontman, notably Peter Gabriel and, following his departure, Phil Collins, received the lions' shares of publicity.
But the success of Mike and the Mechanics, both the name of his new group and solo album, has brought Rutherford into the spotlight.
Mike and the Mechanics is actually Rutherford's third solo album, but the first to make a splash in the U.S., largely as a result of the single, "Silent Running." The song not only shot up the record charts but spawned a Number One MTV video, putting an end to the suggestions
that Genesis was nothing without Phil Collins.
Still, Rutherford admits he prefers working in the context of a group rather than as a solo artist. "This album doesn't feel like a solo album," he says, "because I have developed and presented the album differently, hence the group name." Mike and the Mechanics. It feels very much like a group. It is a for more fun working with others than on your own."
Most of the album's songs were written by Rutherford and producer Chris Neal, whom he credits with choosing the right material. Genesis co-founder Tony Banks and Phil Collins co-wrote "A Call to Arms," an old song Genesis never recorded that I've always liked." Paul Carrack and Pa Young (the former lead singer of the group Sad Cafe, not the Paul Young of "Everytime You Go Away") handle the vocals.
Rutherford is currently at work on the new Genesis album and readying for a world tour with the group beginning in September. As if Genesis and Mike and the Mechanics weren't enough, he is also working with another band, Virginia Woolf, which includes Jason Bonham, the son of the late Lee Zeppelin drummer. "I like to keep busy" comments Rutherford.

الله لا يلعنكم ولا تُلعونكم
The reunion of Zeppelin for "Live Aid" last summer prompted a flurry of rumors of a possible reunion album by the supergroup. Those suggestions, hopes and prayers were extinguished quickly by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, the former pursuing a successful solo career and the latter involved with The Firm. But now come published reports in England that a Led Zeppelin album will be recorded this year with Plant, Page and John Paul Jones Power Station's Tony Thompson will fill in for the late John Bonham. The four are said to be currently rehearsing, with plans to go into the studio in late April. While no official announcement has been forthcoming, the Firm has limited its U.S. tour to only six days, leavingPage available in April . . . Miami Vice co stars Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas have new record projects in the works. Johnson's upcoming solo album will feature song by former Allman Brothers' Band guitarist Dick Betley, who is also working on an album of his own. Thomas is beginning a musical based on the age blue songs "Staggerlee." He envisions the song first on the age-old album, then as a Broadway musical and finally as a movie. Thomas says it will feature music from the roaring 20s to the 80s . . . The Pretenders are currently in training, completing tracks for their follow up to 1983's Learning To Cruel . . . The Rolling Stones' new album, Dirty Work, carries a dedication to Ian Stewart, member and keyboard player who died last December of a heart attack at the age of 47. Stewart's participation on the album was his last recorded work . . . Prince wrote two of the 12 songs on his new album, Parade, with his father. The songs "Under The Cherry Moon" and "Christopher Tracys Parade" are co-credited to John L. Nelson, i.e., Prince. Sr. Rock n' roll legend Roy Orison is at work in Los Angeles on an album of all material he's written with such collaborators as Will Jennings, J.D. Souther and Rodney Crowell.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1986
this year with the proceeds to go to cancer research. Eddie Money's long awaited album is scheduled for a May release Ronnie Spice joins Money on what may become his first single. Quincy Jones says he and Michael Jackson have begun selecting new material for Jackson's next album. No release date, yet.

It may be a year or more before Rhome Releases a new album. In the meantime, those suffering from severe Boss with drawal may want to consider a new compilation of 13 Springtime songs as per performed by other artists, on Rhino Records. The album's title alone is worthy of praise—Cover Me. There is a year ago I ended a review of the last Red Hot Chili Peppers album with the rhetorical question, "What next, polka rock?" Oompah pah, indeed! Rotondi, a new band popular on the LA avant garde club circ, plays music that can only be described as polka punk. As far as what is going to lead, it's hard to say. Paul Lacques, the band's leader, in a recent Los Angeles Times interview. "It didn't really with any particular goal. It was just fun." You well, don't forget, they said the same thing about disco.
