Get Ready to ROCK! Feature about keyboard player Tony Carey and an introduction to his music (291 words)
Keyboardist Tony Carey will long be remembered for his work with Rainbow, on the classic, epic, era defining and influential Rainbow Rising.
Another classic from this time was 'Kill The King'; Carey started recording Long Live Rock'n'Roll with Rainbow but left, and his parts removed, hence appearing on the live version of KTK but not the studio version.
Carey's solo work is far from heavy, a million miles from Rainbow; more multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter material, but strong all the same.
