It’s been awhile, but I have finally added some new tracks into high rotation in the playlist. I invite you to tune in to Choice Classic Rock and listen for 15 recently released classic rock songs from the likes of Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, Foo Fighters and more! All the songs added into the playlist are from the following newly released albums:
Alice Cooper – Detroit Stories … Alice returns from whence he came – his hometown – Motor City – Detroit – which he calls “birthplace of angry hard rock”. The album contains covers of songs from the likes of Lou Reed, Bob Seger and Mitch Ryder – all done as only Alice can. A rockin’ great listen! Listen for the songs Rock n’ Roll, and Social Debris. Read the review here.
Whitesnake – The Blues Album … The band’s third album in the Red, White and Blue trilogy looks at the Blues Rock aspect of the band. The songs included in the package are re-mixes and updated versions originally featured on their albums released from 1982 to 2011 (including a couple of David Coverdale solo albums). Listen for the tracks Give Me All Your Love, and Slow An’ Easy. Read the review here.
Foo Fighters – Medicine At Midnight … On the band’s tenth studio album they are not content to sit on their laurels and repackage the same sound. Instead, they have refreshed things – moving in a slightly “groovier” direction, but still maintaining their strengths! Listen for the songs Chasing Birds, Making A Fire and Waiting On A War. Read the review here.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Way Down In the Rust Bucket … Recorded live at The Catalyst in November of 1990 – this album finds the artist and his most famous backing back stretching out and playing with a fierce intensity that showcases just how great and engaging they were as a live unit! Listen for the tracks Cinnamon Girl and Surfer Joe and Moe The Sleaze. Read the review here.
The Band – Stage Fright (50th Anniversary) … This deluxe boxed set of the band’s third album features a remixed – and resequenced – version of the original album, as well as a previously unreleased 1970 acoustic jam session from a Calgary hotel room, and best of all, a stunning and previously unreleased 1971 concert that captures the group at the peak of its live powers. Listen for live versions of the songs The Weight and Rag Mama Rag. Read the review here.
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians – Hunter And the Dog Star … This is the second album in the group’s new phase of existence, having come together with plenty of reunion fireworks with their album Rocket in 2018. The album contains some great, thoughtful, well-constructed songs – brought to life by the Brickell‘s uniquely impactful voice. Listen for the songs Sleeve and My Power. Read the review here.
Arc Of Life – Arc Of Life … This is a new band, featuring current Yes members Billy Sherwood and Jon Davison, with Jay Schellen (Yes’ unofficial touring drummer), Jimmy Haun (who played guitar on the 1991 Yes album Union and worked with former Yes bassist Chris Squire) and Dave Kerzner (keyboardist formerly with Sound Of Contact). So, the is band “Yes-like” without actually copying Yes. If you like tuneful, progressive-style rock, I highly recommend this album. Listen for the tracks I Want To Know You Better and You Make It Real. Read the review here.
