I asked Rumaldo would you tell us about your solo blues project.
Rumaldo: Certainly! After all the problems associated with personalities / attitudes etc, of the various musicians I’ve worked with, I thought I’d just get back to my ‘roots’ so to speak and start working on my true love - blues. When I first took up guitar, that was what I was into, but no one else was, so the first band I joined was a cover band and they played whatever was popular at the time, but I always wanted to do my own thing and create my own music. I never wanted to be a cover band musician. I wanted to be one of those musicians that others were covering! In other words I wanted to be a true artist and record my own musical creations.
Q: If there is anything I missed and you want the listeners to know about PLEASE add it. Rumaldo: Just that I may surprise them with some previously unreleased Angel Edge era melodic rock / metal tunes in the future, and of course I hope to have a blues CD out by this summer. I’m concentrating on finishing up the blues project before any thoughts of getting a band together to promote my music live, but that’s definitely in the plans for the future!
Incidentally, my blues instrumental”‘Won’t Ever Be The Same” (track 2 in podcast) won Best Blues at the New Mexico Music Awards in 1996 and “Broken Hearts & Shattered Dreams” (last track in podcast) won Best Song - Rock / Metal in 1990. I take pride in those accomplishments since I’m a self taught guitarist / musician who’s never had a single guitar or music lesson in my life! I couldn’t tell a G from an A from a whole in the ground, but I can manage to write and perform award winning music! Something to be said about that I think! Well I guess I can tell a G or A from a whole in the ground, but that’s about it!

This is a continuing interview from yesterdays post on the Angel Edge podcat.
Q; How did the band came together, how long were they together? Rumaldo: The band went through various personnel changes, but the core musicians were myself, the singer -Kenny Romero, and the drummer- Eddie Garcia. The project was my attempt to create a band that would go on to be a top international act, and therefore it was to evolve around my own original musical creations. We would not do cover songs at concerts except to the extent of doing a Led Zeppelin medley for the singer’s sake (he’s a major Zep fan), or to extend a show if more songs over my originals were needed to accomplish that. Aside from that, this was my music that I wanted to eventually become well known for as any aspiring artist would. My partner / producer arranged for Kenny and Eddie to audition for me and to eventually join the band. I wrote all the music, wrote or co-wrote all the lyrics and sang lead vocals on two songs on the CD. I did all the rhythm and lead guitar work (except some acoustic guitar), and the bass guitar, and some keyboards. I also sang background and harmony vocals. The band was together for somewhere around a year or so.Q: Who were the members ?Rumaldo: At last lineup the band consisted of myself on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals, kenny Romero- Lead Vocals, Renaldo Guillen - Rhythm Guitar / Keyboards / Backing Vocals, Kirk Barrows - Bass Guitar, and Eddie Garcia - Drums Q: Do you sing on both “Will You Be There” and “Realm Of Darkness”?Rumaldo: Yes I sing lead vocals on both those songs.Q: Could you tell us something about the songs “Realm of Darkness”?Rumaldo: The lyrics to Realm Of Darkness were written by my partner / producer. I don’t really know about what the song is actually about. We talked about it at the time, but the message / meaning elude me at the moment. Tomorrow there will be more of the interview with Rumaldo Ortiz and he talk about his new solo work till then check out his website and Angel Edge MySpace page.The Angel Edge Revisited cd is available at Rumaldo Ortiz website.Please also check out this great podcast
