1153.0. "Keith Relf" by PSYLO::WILSON (Peter Pumpkinhead) Thu Jun 03 1993 22:47

    Did he ever put out a solo album between his time with The Yardbirds
    and his death in 1973? 
    
    I suspect he might, since I have a CD that has two tracks credited to
    him (a single): "Mr. Zero" is the A-side; I can't remember the name of
    the B-side.
    
    Was he with another band after The Yardbirds?

1153.1Don't know about any solo album, though.KEEGAN::TURNERFri Jun 04 1993 12:449
    Keith Relf definitely sang for the band Renaissance for a while. In
    fact, I think he was with Renaissance at the time of his tragic death
    (electrocuted by an ungrounded microphone while recording at home).
    
    Frankly, much as I adore the early Yardbirds, I think Relf's voice was
    perhaps more suited to the folk-rock setting provided by Renaissance
    rather than the steaming R&B of the Yardbirds.

1153.2What is he ON?KURMA::WATSONTThu Feb 24 1994 21:319
    I know this is an old note,but in case either of the previous noters
    are still reading....I believe Relf was associated,certainly as
    producer and possibly as a member of `70s band Medicine Head.Don`t know 
    much about them but do remember they had a few hit singles `One and One
     is One` and `Pictures In The Sky` among them,which were kind of       
    quirky pop-folk,and very `English` sounding....if you`ve heard them
    then that last line might make sense!?!?!?
