Album: Idol Spirits
In
the early 60s the Beatles stayed at a hotel in Miami Beach, part of the same
beaches Richard Allen roamed early in his life. From his parents’ garage
1964ish in North Miami, Richard practiced Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals
and other "British Invasion" covers with other high school musicians as a
drummer/vocalist.
In the passing of time, school work came first. After two college degrees
one in early childhood education and advertising/mass communications.
Richard took over the reins of a rock band led by a lost member of the
Allman Brothers Band, as their manager and producer. After promoting
separate concerts and opening for the Chambers Brothers and Brownsville
Station in front of thousands of fans, there was a recording contract offer
from Wooden Nickel Records out of Chicago. Alas, the band broke up and
Richard went into the working world in sales, marketing, and advertising.
After running his own advertising agency as a copywriter and creative
director, he went to work for Sirius/XM Satellite Radio in their Automotive
Marketing Division. All along keeping in touch with his musical past and the
musicians that he had worked with before. He produced several of their
original recordings.
In what seemed like a lightning flash...Richard Allen has found the time and
friends to produce his own music under the name IDOL SPIRITS. These are
songs that have been a long time coming. Formulated from experiences
gathered behind the windshield of his car while traveling and working
throughout the southeastern United States and on airplanes traveling coast
to coast.
Hard work and education can be heard in these works. Richard is a product of
his love for music and always hold on to his strong belief that MUSIC
makes the world go round..!
