From the liner notes of the 1998 release "The Best of Zebra In Black and White" by Colin J. Hulin I remember walking into an old school gym and hearing a barrage of wonderful sound... it was tight, lush, rocking, and loud. As I neared the stage to get a glimpse of the band generating this heat, I was amazed to see only three guys on stage. How could so much music be produced by so few?! I smiled at my girlfriend (now wife) who had brought me there, and I think she knew that I was in love... not with her, but with the band. So began my introduction to Zebra some sixteen years ago (1982). It was a typical gig for the day - a St. Christopher's Catholic Youth dance in a New Orleans suburb. The place was packed, as usual, mostly teenage guys, too young for area More... (Submit New Zebra Lyrics) (Submit New Zebra Lyrics) Review about Zebra After All These Years | Reviewer: Tony DeSoto ------ About artist/band Zebra What coming of age teenage rock musician (as I was) growing up in New Orleans wasn't aware and in awe of New Orleans' very own superband, Zebra? Fast forward 20 years after children, transfers all over the south, and career advancements. I'm home visiting my parents this Thanksgiving of 2008. As I drove from Houston, I knew one thing: I wanted to pick up a greatest hits CD (if one existed) of Zebra's music. I had been out of touch with their music for the past 20 odd years. I stepped into FYE in the Esplanade Mall and told the salesboy half my age what I wanted. He smiled and said, "Dude, you're not gonna believe this, but we got a shipment of Zebra CDs this afternoon!" From the back counter, not even shelved yet, he grabs and places before me four Zebra CDs. (One is their second and third releases on one disc.) I stood in awe at what was before me...all five of Zebra's major recordings. What else could I do but buy all of them. So I'm driving around the Crescent City blasting Zebra music and taken back to my teenage years when life was both simple and confusing. I thought about how far I've come. I reflected on the renewed comfort I felt while listening to the passionate, hard hitting, exciting music of three young men who loved life and music equally, the way I did. I forgot how extraordinary their music was, and still is! Thank you, Zebra. God bless you for having provided a soundtrack to our lives. May you keep on keeping on! subliminal | Reviewer: mr zif ------ About the song Who's Behind The Door? performed by Zebra excellent song with a subliminal that took a few listens to get.

My kids (now 37 & 41) have always enjoyed listening to them and I enjoy them too. Keep up the good work Zebra! You're GREAT!! Zebra tour Kansas city Info please | Reviewer: Tom ------ About the song Take Your Fingers From My Hair performed by Zebra I am looking for anyone who knows about the Zebra tour in Kansas City in 82 or 83? Who opened? It was the most amazing concert I have ever been to. Bought the cassette and later their discs. Wow powerful. still arousing emotion | Reviewer: Craig ------ About the song Who's Behind The Door? performed by Zebra I too feel that this is one of my favorite all-time songs. I am trying to figure out the chord progression for this tune. Does anyone have it? And indeed, it is a timeless song. Very well written. Zebra still an incredible act decades later on | Reviewer: Brian ------ About artist/band Zebra I was surprise to learn some three years back that Zebra had never disbanded after losing their recording deal at the close of the 80's I was also delighted to learn they had not become a grunge act nor in anyway compromised their signature sound. Rather, they continued to deliver their amazing music locally in the places they are most loved. (Primarily New York and Louisiana.) When I first heard Zebra in 1983, my first reaction was that here was a band that incorporates all the musical elements I love most: Very dynamic playing, lush and orchestral use of synths, great lyrics, kick ass powerriffs and melodic variation. Also, they pull the whole thing off as a trio live with never a backup musician in site. (aside from the sax playing Chili Willie once in a while.) Over twenty years later, I still feel that way when I hear them. As a live act, they can still hold their own with any of the best bands I've seen headline stadiums. Shortly they will release A DVD that, from previews, appears to convey very well the raw excitment and energy of a Zebra show. Randy, Felix, Guy... Keep rockin'! Maybe the majority of the music world didn't get it, but for those of us that do, your music is as vital and inspiring as it ever was. Stands the test of time | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Who's Behind The Door? performed by Zebra This one has been one of my favorites since it was released. Thats a long time. And I must be old!!!! My dad! | Reviewer: Lauren ------ About the song Who's Behind The Door? performed by Zebra My dad is in the band Zebra! This is my favorite song!
