Reaching Out†is Rabadash Records first attempt at pop music since Nora Wixted’s CD in 1988. Lindsay Mendez is an amazingly talented singer for her tender age of 14. The CD is a collection of great songs narrowed down from over 300 1 songwriters around the country, with top session musicians backing Lindsay’s incredible voice. Track 9, Something Just Ain’t Right, is the exception. Lindsay's new Band, The Back Seat Drivers. plays on this cut. A group of 15 year old future stars gives the old-pros on the rest of the CD a run for their money. The song was written by the big sister of the drummer and bass player (Twins). This CD is aimed at a younger listener but has already been acclaimed by listeners of all ages. We may have a Super star on our hands. Check it Out.John Autin
