Randy
Pease is an oddity in the musical world. An intelligent man who
writes intelligent songs. Long before Randy came to record for Binky
Records, his songs were being done by most of Binky's artists.
Pease
began his musical career as an integral part of the Oklahoma "red
dirt" music scene that would later spawn the likes of Jimmy
Lafave, Tom Skinner, Bob Childers, and even mega-star Garth Brooks.
Randy pursued both his songwriting and his education, eventually
becoming a teacher. Music was solidly in the back seat when Randy's
old friend Tom Skinner decided to record Pease's ode to a beloved
guitar, Roasalie. With help from numerous friends,
Randy decided to record a record of his own in late 1997.
Randy
Pease finished his debut CD, Call Me Ishmael, in early
1998. The record was shopped to several labels and Binky Records
licensed it for release. The CD quickly became a favorite of other
musicians and eventually led to two more cover versions of his songs.
Randy's version of his own Sawdust Trail gained a
fair bit of audio play while Orpheus and the A Gig From Hell
(all 12:16 of it!) became an educational epic. Two songs were featured
on the Binky Records Sampler II.
In
early 2003 Randy took time away from teaching to finish his second
CD. Sometimes The Moon takes up where Call Me
Ishmael left off. Rock critic Dave Marsh put it best when
he said of Randy, "Imagine Loudon Wainwright III with a better
reading list". Watch for Randy's killer live shows when he
hits the road between semesters.
