RACKETT (band)
RACKETT is a self-described "three-car garage rock" band that originated from songs written and recorded by the poet Paul Muldoon[1] and the 17th century poetry scholar Nigel Smith[2][3] during mid-to-late 2004.[4] Muldoon and Smith are joined by Stephen Allen, "an entertainment lawyer";[5][6] Bobby Lewis; and Lee Matthew, a "scholar of medieval polyphony."[7] The spelling of the group's name derives from the medieval instrument of the same appellation.
