The Alpha Band
The Alpha Band was a rock band formed in July 1976 by T-Bone Burnett , David Mansfield and Steven Soles , who had previously played as a backing group in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue .
The Alpha Band signed a well-paid contract with Arista , but none of their three released albums received greater attention. Even critics overlooked The Alpha Band. In 1979 the band broke up. T-Bone Burnett made a name for himself both as a producer and as a studio musician. David Mansfield applied on an ad for Michael Cimino's film Heaven's Gate ( Heaven's Gate ) for a supporting role, then awarded the contract for the film music and began a career as a film composer. Steven Soles, who can also be seen in a supporting role in Heaven's Gate, only achieved some notoriety in the field of Christian rock music.
