(PR) Larry Burnett's publicist sent us over an email about the "Colorado To Liverpool an Acoustic Tribute To The Beatles" story that ran on Wednesday. In that story based on a press release, Burnett's publicist says inaccurate credit was given. Here is what Burnett's publicist tells us "Jock Bartley and Steven Weinmeister are not the lead vocalists of rock legends Firefall. They are the current singers in the Firefall ghost band of which Jock Bartley is the only original member...and he was then the lead guitarist and sang some background vocals, not the lead vocalist."All Music Guide says of the lineup: The group was formed by former Flying Burrito Brother Rick Roberts, who handled vocals, guitar, and most of the songwriting duties; he was joined by fellow ex-Burrito and Byrd Michael Clarke on drums, ex-Spirit and Jo Jo Gunne bassist Mark Andes, guitarist/vocalist Jock Bartley, guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Larry Burnett, and keyboardist/woodwind player David Muse, who joined in 1977
We were also sent an update on what Burnett is up to at the moment, here is that: At 23 years old in 1974, as a singer/songwriter and an original/founding member of Firefall, Larry Burnett wrote some 25 songs for the 5 albums that Firefall released from 1976-1981
but apparently he wasnt done.
this time will be different. I am surrounded by rational, competent and mature folks, some of them life-long friends. I have continued to write songs and there seems to be some interest in hearing them.
this time
refers to the release of a new, limited edition, 6-song CD titled CONFIDENCE GAME, which includes a solo acoustic version of his top ten hit Cinderella. In fact, all cuts on this first solo release are just Larry and his guitar.
