Formed by Tomorrow’s Keith West and ex-Animals/Family multi-instrumentalist John Weider, Moonrider’s lone 1975 album delivered a tuneful mix of country-rock warmth and British melodic pop. With Bruce Thomas (later of the Attractions) on bass and drummer Chico Greenwood, the quartet cut a single LP for Anchor Records before punk swept them aside. This definitive CD reissue is newly remastered and expanded with nine bonus tracks — the non-LP single I Found Love plus rare BBC Old Grey Whistle Test and In Concert performances. A limited edition ...

Best known for his work with the Animals, Family, Stud, and Moonrider, John Weider stepped out briefly in 1976 with a self-titled solo LP on Anchor Records. Produced by Beatles engineer Phil McDonald, it featured support from Charlie Whitney (Family), bassist Charlie McCracken (Taste), and drummer Pierce Kelly (Gary Moore Band). More a latenight singer-songwriter set than a rock spectacle, it blends gentle soft-rock, understated pop, and a touch of instrumental flair. Quietly tucked away for decades and never before reissued, this first-ever CD edition is ...
