The Ravenna Colt Releases Slight Spell
 The Ravenna Colt |
After conceiving the project over a decade ago, former My Morning Jacket guitarist Johnny Quaid is finally releasing the dreamlike, southern-flavored debut effort by The Ravenna Colt. The album, titled, Slight Spell, is now available through Removador Recordings and Solutions, the label Quaid recently co-founded with MMJ frontman Jim James.
After six years as a part of MMJ, Louisville, KY native Quaid parted amicably with the band in 2004 and headed off to California. Eventually Quaid headed back east and reacquainting himself with his roots. Fittingly, the music he has written as The Ravenna Colt reflects his style in Americana with a hint of cosmic breeze that emanates from California.
The Ravenna Colt currently includes Phil Carlson, J. Brent Stuart and Daniel T. Mohler as members, but the group has always been a shape-shifting entity with the only constant force being Quaid at the helm. This collective-like quality translates to the music as well, which has beautifully amorphous feel. The songs on Slight Spell have definitive cores, but ones that seem capable of adapting to various musicians and arrangements. Quaid has the soul of a troubadour. One can picture him with nothing but an acoustic guitar strapped to his back, traveling from town to town to share his music and his adventures.

No Comments
VMware Fusion 3 enables the use of Windows, Linux and Mac virtual machines on a physical Mac system. Fusion 3 is competitive with Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition and Sun VirtualBox, with a slight lead in terms of day-to-day operations. While VMware Fusion 3 is aimed at individual users, the product is a worthwhile choice for IT departments that are switching PC systems to Macs.

virtual machines on a physical Mac system– goes head-to-head with
Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition. The new VMware offering comes
up a hair short in ease of use, but edges ahead in operations that
matter on a daily basis.
