I had music playing in the background while doing political blogging and heard Kerry Livgren's "Mask of the Great Deceiver" for the first time in a long time.
The bass sound was a dead ringer for Paul Goddard's (Atlanta Rhythm Section). Same Rickenbacker vibe that infused his famous solo on "Another Man's Woman." Other than Goddard's involvement, the song was memorable for Ronnie James Dio's vocals.
I'm giving the Livgren catalog a bit of a review. I expect that the stroke Livgren experienced in 2009 will leave him unable to play guitar anything like he once did. But we can expect him to continue songwriting, I'm sure.
