West End, by +West End+

From Nashville to London to the West of Ireland — West End. In the 1980s, +West End+ began as a vehicle for recording songs written by Kirk Beasley and Ray Perkins for a very ambitious recording project that never saw the light of day. In 2018, original band members Kirk Beasley and Bobby Ogdin, and original engineer Travis Turk, joined forces with Bruce Dees, Tom Shinny, and others to play rock and roll and have a little fun. The album includes two bonus tracks (“Play It by Ear” and “Thin Soup”) from the original sessions over 30 years ago. And need we say, “Mixed Loud to Be Played Loud?” That’s West End. Released by Spare Time Records, 2020.
