    The world gone mad! Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel singing, dogs upsetting a hammock and Mr Sklar wearing a hat.
    Further, you never see Danny Kortchmar and Al Pacino in the same room together.
    You have to ask, "Is this the end of the world as we know it?
    If it is, it would be a cruel twist.
    Just keep on doing it chaps.

    Hi Lee ...that nearly 73 year old Valley drummer here and I am totally blown away!!!! Great sound, great beat and you on the upright bass. Geeeeez, it doesn't get much better than that. You guys can't miss! Compared to the stuff you hear on the radio these days, to which I can't possibly relate too!, this is outstanding and pure talent. Good luck all of you and keep on keepin' on! You guys are the best individually and as the Immediate Family. Of course I subscribed!!!!!!!

    Their names are familiar to anyone who grew up on SoCal rock. In various combinations, guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Waddy Wachtel, bassist Leland Sklar, and drummer Russ Kunkel contributed to countless albums by James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and Don Henley, among many others.
    What they’ve never done is make a record on their own, but after nearly 50 years of playing together, these veterans have finally done just that. Calling themselves the Immediate Family, a nod to their connections to classic-rock all-stars, the band - which also includes singer, guitarist, and fellow Los Angeles resident Steve Postell has
