Rank & File

Shaped in Austin, Tx, USA in 1981, Rank And Document comprised previous members from the Dils, Chip Kinman (guitar, vocals) and Tony Kinman (bass, vocals), and ex-Nuns guitarist/vocalist Alejandro Escovedo (b. San Antonio, Tx, USA). Drummer Slim Evans finished the line-up presented on Sundown, an exemplary mixture of fresh wave and nation. The recording included ‘Amanda Ruth’, afterwards recorded with the Everly Brothers. The Kinman brothers after that had taken control of the music group and, having transferred to Austin, Tx, completed OVER Dead with program music artists, including Jeff Ross (electric guitar), Richard Greene (fiddle) and Stan Lynch, drummer with Tom Petty AS WELL AS THE Heartbreakers. The brand new established emphasized the duo’s appreciate of pop melody, however the items had been still infused using a nation feel. An extended hiatus ensued, but their third record proved a significant disappointment, missing the verve and attraction of its predecessors. Rank And Document was after that disbanded using the Kinmans afterwards founding Blackbird. Escovedo reappeared leading the acclaimed Accurate Believers before getting into a solo profession.
