Dave Getz Releases new CD featuring Kathi McDonald

42 years ago Dave Getz and Janis Joplin wrote a song together. That song was never recorded and released until now. Dave's new CD titled from that song "Can't Be The Only One" features Kathi McDonald performing vocals on the title track as well as 2 additional tracks plus a live track of "Can't Be The Only One"

"Can't Be The Only One" is a modern mix of several genres including tracks with Jazz and Latin influences, Blues and even a Psychadelic Metal mix featuring psychadelic guitar master James Gurley in what may be one of his final recordings.

Kathi McDonald really brings life tothe CD and performs in a way only someone connected to Janis and Big Brother can. As the first singer with Big Brother post Janis Joplin her (Kathi's) relationship with the times and music makes her a logical choice for vocal consideration to perform this track. Perform she does and as Kathi McDonald has shown over and over again the girl can sing!

The second track "More" features lyrics by Big Brother and the Holding Company Band Mate Sam Andrew. This song is also performed with Kathi McDonald. The track "House on Fire" written by Dave Getz and Louis Rappaport, is a new version of the song, the track first appeared on "How Hard It Is" the first post Janis recordings which also featured Kathi McDonald on vocals.
