NOTE from songwriter Freddy Moore: The music that influenced the songs that I wrote for The Kats, In the chronological order (not the degree) of influence: Benny Goodman, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, The Beatles, The Who, Frank Zappa, Thelonius Monk, Igor Stravinsky, Muddy Waters, Steely Dan, Little Feat, Graham Parker & the Rumour. I am not talking about influences on the arrangements, only on the songwriting procces. Keep in mind that influences on other Kats are in there as well: Bobbyzio & I co-wrote one song, Pete McRae and I co-wrote 3 of the songs, McRae composed preludes to 3 of my songs, Bobbyzio, McRae, Peters & Galles wrote the prelude for "It's Not A Crime", and I can only take credit for new lyrics on the classic: "Down The Road", (Hopefully Bobbyzio, Pete and Dennis will chime in on this topic). |
