Scenario:Kaine & Rousby were an English-American duo formed in 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington by Harrison Kaine (electric and occasionally acoustic guitarist, keyboards, lead and backing vocals) and Colton Rousby (bass guitarist, lead and backing vocals) In 1968, after playing gigs at local bars and clubs, they would sign a record deal with A&M and get a manager named Bill Hardt; a bear. A few months later, now April of 1968, Bill hired a producer; a rat named Stephen Solley and an engineer; a dalmatian named Geoff Renwick. Bill also hired a drummer named Rhett Pyle; a leopard. That same month, Kaine & Rousby begin writing and recording in the studio. In October of 1968, Kaine & Rousby released their debut studio album 'K&R'. It was a success! 4 out of 10 tracks listed reached the Billboard Hot 100. 'What You Will' peaked at No. 4, 'Funny Face' peaked at No. 13, 'Life On the Road' peaked at No. 35 and 'It's Alright (Don't Think About It)' peaked at No. 76. They were nominated for a Grammy award for Album of the Year but lost to 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix' by Glen Campbell. They were given a contract to sign for an event, also known as Woodstock of 1969. They agreed to play for $10,000. In 1970, their drummer Rhett Pyle died of an accidental overdose at 27. It would take six years for Kaine & Rousby to release another album. In January of 1976, Bill hired a new drummer; Al Meaden; a Egyptian mau who was originally with Montrose for a short period of time (yes, my imagination is wild). In late August of 1976, after leaving A&M and signing a record deal with Decca, Kaine & Rousby released their second studio album 'Welcome Home'. It was a mega success! 'I Can't Reach You' peaked at No. 2, 'It's Your Turn/Cry If You Want' peaked at No. 7, 'Silver Tongue' peaked at No. 16, 'Live With Me' peaked at No. 45, a cover song of 'Let Me Be Your Lovemaker' peaked at No. 73 and 'Road Hog' peaked at No. 92. They were nominated for a Grammy award for Album of the Year in early 1977 but lost. In April of 1977, Kaine & Rousby released their third studio album 'Late Night Lady'. It was a success! 'Late Night Lady' peaked at No. 1 and stayed in the top 5 for nearly thirteen weeks. 'Sex Appeal' peaked at No. 8. Though reluctant to play on the radio, it received positive reviews. And last but not least, 'Savin' It' peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100. In early 1978, 'Late Night Lady' was nominated for a Grammy award for Song of the Year. It won! In June of 1978, Kaine & Rousby released their fourth studio album 'Dublin'. It was a mega success! '1969' peaked at No. 2, 'Long Ago' peaked at No. 3, 'Whatever You'd Like' peaked at No. 6, 'Magic' peaked at No. 17, 'Address Book' peaked at No. 30 and '1000 Years' peaked at No. 87. 'Whatever You'd Like' commences with a quiet introduction, containing a guitar playing notes from chords. Harrison Kaine and Colton Rousby used chorus, fuzz and flanging effects on their guitars. This lasts for approximately 26 seconds, and fades out towards the end. After this, the guitar picks up once more with a D-minor riff, and 40 seconds into the piece, the familiar D-major riff of the song begins, accompanied by drums from the 56 second mark. The song is guitar-oriented. During recording up to three guitar 'layers' were used, though it can be played with two: rhythm guitar and solo guitar. The other instruments are a bass guitar, keyboards and drums. The lyrics are multi-vocal; for instance the 'Whatever you'd like' part is sung entirely with two voices. The guitar low 'E' string is tuned to a D (the song is in the key of D). This is required to play the intro and also the low strumming after the intro. In this later part a flanger effect is used together with the ever-present overdrive/distortion effect. Critics say it's their best song yet. In early 1979, they were nominated for a Grammy award for Best Rock Song; (Whatever You'd Like), but lost. People were incredibly angry; people claimed it was rigged or fixed, people claimed that they deserved better but nothing was really done about it. To this day, people still say that they should've won that Grammy. In March of 1979, Kaine & Rousby released their fifth and final studio album 'Shelter'. It was a success! 'Testify' peaked at No. 1, 'Seeing Is Believing' peaked at No. 9 and 'Someday' peaked at No. 24. Kaine & Rousby disbanded in 1980 after arguments feud. Though, from time to time, Kaine and Rousby would hook up with each other for small gigs. Geoff Renwick died on September 26, 2012 at 76. Harrison Kaine died on August 13, 2023 at 79.
