It’s release day for Neal’s second solo album on vinyl, Rain, Wind and Speed! In early 1996, Neal had written a bunch of new songs, and he and John Ginty went into Mix-O-Lydian Studios in Lafayette, NJ. They emerged 5 days later with this sweet and warm-sounding acoustic record. It also features some mandolin and banjo from our NJ pal, the late, great Andy Goessling (of Railroad Earth) and is beautifully recorded by Don Sternecker. Neal was really proud of this record, as it was the first time he recorded complete guitar and vocals takes together in the studio with no overdubs. A few copies are still available at the Foundation web store and also @royalpotato’s store. #nealcasal #nealcasalmusicfoundation #musiciansmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #musiceducation #musicstudents #touringmusicians
