   About Trace Elements
Trace Elements - the band. Musically, the idea is to not play the "typical" blues set, but to infuse a love of blues, rock and Texas music into a groove that won't quit.... Vocalist Tracy Ready has been singing live and writing songs with other musicians for more than 25 years. He was fortunate in his youth to know and be mentored by legendary Texas musicians Augie Meyers and Doug Sahm, of Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados fame. As an adult, Tracy pursued a career in television, spent 5 years as a cameraman for CNN, and has now owned Trace Productions, an award winning video production business, for more than 10 years. His passion away from the career has always been music. "Little By Little" Trace - vocals, John Echols - bass, Patrick Rogers - guitar - Special guests Red Young - keyboards, Lavell Jones - drums. This video of the classic "Little By Little" features guest appearance by the incredible Red Young on keyboards. Red is currently the keyboardist for Eric Burdon of The Animals fame, and has played on countless great albums. He kindly agreed to fill in for Sparky Montoya with us for a gig in 2006. Also, the linebacker of drummers, the one and only Lavell Jones joined us for this special show. --------------------------- The live band seen in these videos is a dream come true for Trace. Each of the players seen here are great musicians from North Texas who all play in other area bands and assemble on occasion to showcase as Trace Elements. The lineup of musicians varies due to tour and performance schedules of the musicians involved. It is a personal treat for Tracy to be able to gig with these guys from time to time, as schedules permit. These are just open air live recordings of the band, captured on a few select nights in Dallas. Just a taste of what's to come - The audio quality on these videos is just average, as the object was to just capture the band and document a few gigs. The plan is to showcase from time to time, as schedules allow, and then to record a full length CD and accompany the CD with more polished video productions. For now, we hope you enjoy these performances. Sit back, have a cool one, and let the blues take you in. The Demo CD recorded in 2004, features the amazing guitar and fretless bass work of good friend Kevin Lewis from San Antonio. See www.texasb-roll.com/trace-elements for details on how this "experiment" has evolved....ALSO see Trace Elements on Youtube - http://youtube.com/traceelements ....... found this music layout at HOTFreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

We're randomly fortunate to have such a great musician and man of character as Mentor and Teacher. When I hear your music, I instantly recognize our Teacher's guitar "voice." Way Cool.
Great pictures, too.
