MUSIC BY DAVID CRAIG
The following is music written or co-written by David Craig, much of it recorded by others. There is so much more and as time allows, it will all be posted here. His music was the legacy he was most proud of. Please enjoy.
RED FEATHER: THE LOST TAPES
In March of 1979, David Craig recorded an entire 'rock opera' he called Red Feather. The material was never mixed, mastered, or published ... the 4 multi-track tapes were put aside in a closet at famed Studio in the Country until the Studio's recent sale uncovered them. It took 5 days of oven time to rid them of 47 years worth of mold, after which they were transferred to the digital files you find here below.
