The Dreamer (single): Difference between revisions

Christy Coobatis has released two tracks from the mid 80s that feature Allan. “The Dreamer” features Allan on guitar, while “It’s So Easy” a little more curiously features Allan on backing vocals. He also co-engineered these two tracks. According to Christy, he worked with Allan as a soundman and roadie, and Allan offered his services on these tracks as a friend. Here, we provide a link to “The Dreamer” as it features Allan’s guitar work. He plays a short but sweet solo from around 1.50 to 2.10, and a few short fills afterwards. His sound is very similar to his recordings with Jon St. James around the same time. The song is a pop tune in 80s fashion, with a partially sequenced backing track, and plenty of reverb, not too far removed from the St James album in sound either. Although perhaps not a major contribution to Allan’s discography, in 20 seconds he still plays some scary lines that definitely would have raised eyebrows on pop radio at the time of recording.
