Among the Wandering
Among the Wandering1987 Water Brothers Music, vinyl LP. Produced by Fred Salem and Bruce Hensel. "Among The Wandering” was a heartbreaker. Although “High Heels Are Dangerous” got a lot of airplay, the songs Robert poured his song writing into did not. This record has some favorites that are not played anymore and also has a nice warm studio sound. Producer Fred Salem (The Outlaws) played guitar on “High Heels Are Dangerous” and has always been a big supporter of 15 60 75. Cover photo by Karen Calabria.

Numbers Blues
Numbers Blues
2002 Reedurban Records, CD.
Produced by Steve Etherton. Art by Terry Hynde. Cover notes by Steve Etherton. As a tribute to the fans, “Numbers Blues” is a collection of live blues performances from 1991 to 2000. It is a powerful representation of hard work. It is also a short lesson in blues music history as the band covers Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Junior Parker, Bo Diddly, Junior Wells, and the obscure Cat Iron. In the context of blues history, “Matchbox Defined” is the most interesting. Robert’s version, written originally by Blind Lemon Jefferson, is also influenced by Jimmy Reed, Bob Dylan and Carl Perkins. The song offers the response to the question “How can a matchbox hold my clothes?” Two original tunes are also included.
Players: Robert Kidney - vocals, guitar; Jack Kidney - vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards, tenor sax; Terry Hynde - alto sax, keyboards; Frank Casamento - drums;
Fred Tribuzzo - bass; Frank Reynolds - bass
