Mark Craney & Friends ‎ / Something With A Pulse

Mark Carney or Mark Craney?
The former is the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 until 2013 and the Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. The later is the ex Jethro Tull drummer.

Without saying, whom I am taking about here is the later.
The late Mark Craney was well-known recording and touring rock and jazz drummer., who worked with many artists such as Tower Of Power, Gino Vannelli, Jeff Beck, the late Tommy Bolin, Jean-Luc Ponty.
Though his resume was impressive, Craney's greatest success must be drumming for the Gino Vanelli’s "I Just Want To Stop".
His kidneys failed in 1986 and therefore he received a kidney transplant in March 1988. Mark rehabilitated himself and began playing the drums again in 1989. From 1993 to October of 1996, Mark traveled around the world with the Eric Burdon Band in spite that his transplanted kidney failed. He was obliged to leave the road because of exhaustion. He awaited a double kidney and pancreas transplant. This compilation CD was compiled and released for the purpose of assisting in Mark's recovery by his friends in 1997. One of the performers, Mark's Brothers should have been remarked. Bill Champlin played Hammond Organ and furthermore he took lead vocal on the track " They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To" written by Bill Champlin and Andreas Carlson.
On 26 November, 2005 Mark Craney died of complications from diabetes and pneumonia in Sherman Oaks, California, at the age of 53. RIP....
