Thread Name: Lyr Req: Have You Seen Bruce Richard Reynolds?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bruce Richard Reynolds (Jim O'Connor)
Nick Reynolds, the harmonica player, is his son. You don't hear about Alabama 3 in his autobiography - autobiography of a thief, though, because it was written in 1995. Alabama 3 did the theme tune to the Sopranos as well and have never made a duff album. I believe D Wayne and Larry Love changed the lyrics slightly for the cover and also arranged it differently to the original.

As for Bruce Reynolds, its unfair to call him 'criminal scum' and it's ignorance of the highest degree to believe that cancer can be 'induced' by a blow to the head. Besides, it was confirmed at an inquest into Jack Mills' death in 1970 that the two incidents were unlinked. If you read his autobiography you will see he was actually a regular guy with regular problems and thoughts who just got in with the wrong crowd, however, I appreciate that there will be a slight bias to the book. Bruce Reynolds is one of many victims of an unjust system which rather than make criminals into good men, makes good men into criminals.
