1995 Loren Harriet – Round Up The Usual Suspects

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Loren Harriet is a name that doesn’t ring a bell among general rock fans, but this executive producer and musician has been behind several major music projects. By 1993, the man had the chance to set aside the concerning aspects of the business, and go for his guilty pleasure; his artistic side as musician. Round Up The Usual Suspects is his one and only album, and as you could imagine, heavy weight musicians were part of the recording. Originally released as promo in 1993, Round Up The Usual Suspects was finally published two years after in small quantities.
