Randall Shreve: Devil's in the Details

Randall Shreve lets us into his creative mind.

SOME ARTISTS HAVE THE MAGIC, that certain je ne sais quoi. And Randall Shreve is indisputably one of those artists. Having visited his private studio, Deitra Magazine had the honor of witnessing his creative process, getting an insight into how his mind works and taking a real look at the man behind the curtain. He is the quintessential artist — a dream for any music enthusiast, both through song and the written word.

COMPOSED OF MUSICIANS WHO have been playing music since before the 8-track, the Melodikats out of Mountain Home, Arkansas are bringing back the classic songs that we haven't heard in years. These guys are covering tunes by greats that many bands simply do not attempt. Songs like "She's Gone" by Hall & Oates, "I Can't Tell You Why" by The Eagles, and "Josie" by Steely Dan are just a few notable songs the band covers. The Melodikats are bringing a new meaning to the idea of classic hits, and have hand-picked a unique collection of exceptional songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Deitra Magazine had the honor of chatting with these veteran players about each of their musical backgrounds, and tales from living the musician's dream back when being on the road was more of a reality than a dream.
