The Connells are an American band from Raleigh, North Carolina. They play a guitar-oriented, melodic, power pop style of rock music, with introspective lyrics that reflect the American South.
Guitarist Mike Connell formed the band in 1984, along with his brother David Connell on bass, Doug MacMillan on vocals, and future filmmaker John Schultz on drums. This initial four-person line-up was quickly supplemented by the addition of George Huntley on second guitar, keyboards, and vocals.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Okay, here's my try on 74-75 by The Connells. Only some changes, but I guess they make it easier to play the song. The song was originally posted by [email protected] (Tomas Rendalen) and [email protected] (Jan Morenzin). Thanx for the lyrics and the inspiration.
