RACKETT (band)

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