A sparse, plaintive and largely acoustic album, Rain, Wind And Speed was written and recorded in the months immediately following Casal being dropped from his recording contract with Zoo Records, the label who'd released his debut effort, Fade Away Diamond Time. As Cardillo explains in the reissue's essay: \"At first Neal couldn't comprehend what this all meant. No European Tour? No video? No single to radio? No tour support? All of the label's promises withered and died like bitter fruit left on the vine. It was a disorienting sucker punch that left Neal numb and reeling. Five years of hard work, demos, showcases, phone calls, meetings, no-money gigs, all the results of that labor evaporated.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e12\/02\/2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRYPO-2301\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e020286240037\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eNeal Casal \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Potato\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40404652425277,"sku":"POP-C-020286240037","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/GUEST_745878f8-0340-4643-a2ee-08ca16f6a615.jpg?v=1669695617"},{"product_id":"neal-casal-fade-away-diamond-time-16108325","title":"Neal Casal - Fade Away Diamond Time on Not Fade Away Recording Co. - Green Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL CONDITION: Both discs are VG+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOVER CONDITION: VG+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTES: 2020 pressing.

In 1997, acclaimed producer Jim Scott--who produced Neal Casal's seminal albums Fade Away Diamond Time (1995) and Anytime Tomorrow (1999)-- gifted the 27-year-old singer-songwriter an Otari 8-track analog tape recorder, along with essential mics and gear Over long winter nights in Hope, New Jersey, between 1998 and 2000, and later upon relocating to Los Angeles in 2001, Casal taught himself home recording. He captured a vast body of intimate, fully realized solo songs that comprise Book Of Stories (Home Recordings 1998-2003), the latest release exploring the archives left behind by the late artist following his death by suicide in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\"Neal became really adept at playing all the instruments on his songs and making these lovely recordings,\" explains Casal's friend and longtime manager Gary Waldman, who co-produced the collection. \"Although none of these songs ever appeared on any of his official albums, there are many highlights here; these are not just throwaway tracks.\" Brought back to the East Coast by Waldman after surviving multiple relocations over two decades, the original 12 analog reels were played back on Casal's original Otari machine-- now housed in bassist Jeff Hill's Connecticut studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe result is an essential, hauntingly present listening experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike. \"We weren't sure if these tapes would still work, having not been played in 25 years or so, but we put the first reel up and out came Neal's voice like he was sitting right there with us,\" continues Waldman. \"It blew our minds! Listening to these tunes all these years later reminded me of how great he was at not only layering guitar parts, but how good he was on bass and even his primitive drumming. These songs are essential listening for longtime Neal fans and hopefully for some new fans, too.\" Highlights across the 12- track collection include \"Down With A Friend,\" \"Leave My Loving Cup Behind,\" and \"Where Does The Time Go,\" all sparse and primarily acoustic performances. There are also a handful of more developed standouts with Casal multi-tracking guitar, bass, and drums, including the Harvest-era Neil Young-inspired \"Muscatine\" and the fully electrified dirge \"In My Mind.\" In addition to the album's 11 Casal originals, there is a reading of Tom T. Hall's \"Joe, Don't Let Your Music Kill You,\" a stark warning of the treacherous road musicians traverse. Unearthed all these years later, it's a poignant foreshadowing of what would ultimately be Casal's own fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e11\/27\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eRYPO-2622\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e020286251477\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eNeal Casal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Potato\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893821898813,"sku":"POP-C-020286251477","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4550273-3738888.jpg?v=1793118195"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/collections\/artist-neal-casal.oembed","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
