New Eagles, Blue Oyster Cult, Roger Waters & More!

I have loaded 28 recently released classic rock songs into high rotation on the playlist – featuring songs from The Eagles, Blue Oyster Cult, Roger Waters and more! Twenty-one of the songs are from the following newly released albums:

Blue Oyster Cult - The Symbol Remains
Blue Oyster Cult – The Symbol Remains

Blue Oyster Cult – The Symbol Remains … The band returns with their first new studio album since the poorly received 2001 release Curse Of the Hidden Mirror. This new album is a far cry from their last. The songs are well crafted, beautifully played and a joy to listen to. “The incorruptible, irreverent nature of a band that’s existed through every possible rock and metal trope in history shines through on this album”. Listen for the songs Florida Man, Tainted Blood, Edge Of the World and Secret Road. Read the review here.

Bon Jovi – 2020 … After delaying a spring release date (due to you-know-what) the band has finally released this album. Most of the songs are, not surprisingly, overtly political – as the band examines the state of the world we live in today. Listen for the tracks Brothers In Arms and Beautiful Drug. Read the review here.

The Eagles – Live From the Forum MMXVIII … The band spent most of 2018 on the road with an extensive North American tour that found Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit joined by two new bandmates: Deacon Frey (original member Glenn Frey‘s son) and Vince Gill. This album was recorded over 3 nights at The Forum in Los Angeles. Listen for the tracks Lyin’ Eyes, Take It Easy and a very cool version of Hotel California. Read the review here.

Roger Waters – Us + Them … The former Pink Floyd member’s extensive 2017-2018 world tour has been captured on DVD, Blue Ray, CD and digital download. It is Roger Waters at his finest – merging politics, bombast, symbolism and music in a way that only he can. Listen for songs One Of These Days, The Great Gig In the Sky and Money. Read the review here.

Queen + Adam Lambert – Live Around the WorldFreddie Mercury is sadly no longer with us – but Adam Lambert is a surprisingly capable successor to the iconic Queen vocalist. This album was culled from every tour the band has done over the last six years and features some interesting takes and modifications to the bands canon. Listen for tracks Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Somebody To Love. Read the review here.

Lou Reed – New York (Deluxe Edition) … This album contains remastered versions of the songs found on the original 1989 release, as well as a host of extra content. It contains live versions of every track from the album – with a couple of live bonus tracks – as well as a number of demos and rough mixes. Listen for live versions of the songs Dirty Boulevard and Walk On the Wild Side. Read the review here.

John Lennon – Gimme Song Truth (The Ultimate Remixes) … With everything that is going in the world today – we could definitely use some words of wisdom from the Beatle. In its place – we have this set of 36 of his best-known songs (hits and others) – impeccably mixed for maximum impact. Listen for a live version of the track Come Together. Read the review here.

Robert Plant – Digging Deep: Subterranea … This album is a best of compilation from the Led Zeppelin vocalist’s solo catalogue – with a couple of rarities thrown in. Although not presented in chronological order – it showcases how his art has grown and he has steeled himself to remain relevant as he ages. Listen for the unreleased track Nothing Takes the Place Of You. Read the review here.

The Doors – Morrison Hotel (50th Anniversary Edition) … The original album, released in 1970, found the band returning to a more blues-rock template after the instrumental experimentation featured on The Soft Parade. This 50th Anniversary Edition of the album features the original songs remastered and an hour of interesting outtakes. Listen for the unreleased song Money (That’s What I Want). Read the review here.

William Shatner – The BluesCaptain Kirk brings his spoken / half-sung take on the blues on this album. What makes it interesting in the supporting cast he has assembled for the effort, which include the likes of Brad Paisley, Harvey Mandel, Pat Travers, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Steve Cropper and others. Listen for the tracks The Thrill Is Gone (featuring Ritchie Blackmore on guitar) and a cover of the Cream classic Sunshine Of Your Love (featuring Sonny Landreth on guitar). Read the review here.

AC/DC – Shot In the Dark … this is the first single released from the band’s upcoming album Power Up – which is scheduled for release on November 13th, 2020.

Listen for reworked versions of the tracks But I Might Die Tonight and Miles From Nowhere. Read the review here.

New Rolling Stones, Savoy Brown & More!

I have loaded 21 recently released classic rock songs into high rotation on the playlist – featuring songs from The Rolling Stones, Savoy Brown and more! Eighteen of the songs are from the following newly released albums:

Savoy Brown - Ain't Done Yet
Savoy Brown – Ain’t Done Yet

Savoy Brown – Ain’t Done Yet … This British blues band – led by founder/guitar player/vocalist Kim Simmonds – has been around since the mid 1960s – and consistently churn out finely crafted, well-played blues rock. This album is no exception. Listen for the tracks All Gone Wrong, Devil’s Highway and Feel Like A Gypsy. Read the review here.

The Rolling Stones – Goats Head Soup (Deluxe Edition) … Often maligned as one of the band’s lesser works – this album which was originally released in 1973 – has been re-released with an additional disc of outtakes and another disc that features live material from a 1973 concert. The new songs fit in nicely and I believe that they probably would have been included on the original release if the length of the vinyl did not limit the number of songs that would fit on a record in 1973. Listen for the songs All The Rage, Scarlet (The Killers & Jacques Lu Cont Remix) which features Jimmy Page on guitar – and a live version of Brown Sugar – which was recorded in Brussels in 1973. Read the review here.

The Allman Betts Band – Bless Your Heart … This is the second album from Devon Allman and Duane Betts – both sons of the original members of the Allman Brothers Band. If the you like southern rock with a bit of a modern twist – you will like this record. Listen for the tracks Pale Horse Rider, Airboats & Cocaine and a 12 minute jam instrumental Savannah’s Dream. Read the review here.

Walter Trout – Ordinary Madness … The blues/rock guitar shaman, singer-songwriter, and street survivor delivers another batch of his heartfelt six-string excursions on his new record. The album was recorded at a private studio owned by Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and is a well written and impeccably played project. Listen for the songs Ordinary Madness, Heaven In Your Eyes and Make It Right. Read the review here.

The Empty Hearts – The Second Album … This is the second album (go figure!) from a band that consists of Elliot Easton (of The Cars), Clem Burke (of Blondie), Wally Palmar (of The Romantics) and Andy Babiuk (of The Chesterfield Kings) . Listen for the tracks The World’s Gone Insane and Remember Days Like These (which features the one and only Ringo Starr on drums). Read the review here.

Nils Lofgren Band – Weathered … Recorded live while the band was touring to support Lofgren‘s most recent studio record – Blue With Lou – this album features the E-Street guitar player in his element – live. Listen for the song Across The Tracks. Read the review here.

Various Artists – Angelheaded Hipster … This double album’s worth of material is being released to celebrate the U.K.’s legends of glam rock – Marc Bolan and his band, T.Rex. Listen for the track Bang A Gong (Get It On) performed by U2 and Elton John. As my 16 year old daughter would say – It’s a banger! Read the review here.

Tokyo Storm – Optimistic State Of Mind … This UK band came to my attention when they emailed me a link to their debut album. I gave it a listen – and it is well-written, nicely played, melodic AOR with a bit of a bite. Listen for the songs Optimistic State Of Mind and Is This Love. For more information, click here to visit their web site.

New Singles

The other 3 songs are all recently released singles:

Blue Oyster Cult – Box On My Head and That Was Me … these two songs are from the band’s upcoming album The Symbol Remains, which is due to be released on October 9, 2020.

Robert Plant – Too Much Alike … this previously unreleased song – which features a duet with Patty Griffin – is from his upcoming anthology project, Digging Deep: Subterranea – which is scheduled for release on October 2nd, 2020.

New Dion, Dylan, Young & More!

I have just added 14 newly released classic rock tracks into high rotation on the playlist featuring songs from icons like Dion, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Nine of the songs are from the following newly released albums:

Dion - Blues With Friends
Dion – Blues With Friends

Dion – Blues With Friends … Ably assisted by the likes of Van Morrison, John Hammond, Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Bonamassa, Paul Simon, Samantha Fish and Brian Setzer – the 81 year old rock/pop/blues legend has delivered a sizzling album of blues. Highly recommended! Listen for the tracks Blues Comin’ On, Hymn To Him, What If I Told You and Song For Sam Cooke (Here In America). Read the review here.

Bob Dylan – Rough And Rowdy Ways … With his 39th album – the first one of all new original material since 2012 – Dylan takes us on a trip with “references and direct lines to 20th century cultural touchstones – from political and geographical talking points to life-long influences and his musical peers that helped shape the rock ‘n’ roll landscape in the ’60s.” Listen for the song Goodbye Jimmy Reed. Read the review here.

Neil Young – Homegrown … This album sat in the artist’s archives – unreleased – since 1975. It is the “unheard bridge” between two acoustic-based albums, the 1972 classic Harvest and 1978’s Comes a Time, but because of the personal nature of the songs – and the heartache he was going through at the time – he chose not to release it until now. It was worth the wait! Listen for the tracks Vacancy and White Line. Read the review here.

Champlin Williams Friestedt – CWF 2 … This band consists of former Chicago singer Bill Champlin, former Toto singer Joseph Williams, and Swedish guitarist/producer Peter Friestedt. They recorded their first album in 2015, an EP in 2018 – but this new album has delivered the AOR goods with a very Chicago/Toto sound. Listen for the songs Runaway Dancer and Love In the World. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 5 songs are all recently released singles:

Kansas – Jets Overhead … this is the third single from the band’s upcoming album The Absence Of Presense, which is scheduled for release July 17th, 2020.

Elvis Costello – No Flag … this song is a return to the artist’s punk/new wave roots and finds him expressing “the communal disgust so many of his listeners feel about their government, be it the United States or the United Kingdom.” A keeper …

The Allman Betts Band – Magnolia Road … this track is the first single from the bands second album Bless Your Heart, which is due for release on August 28th, 2020.

Bragg & Hemsworth – Tall Stories On Short Street and New World (Has Begun) … Tim Bragg and Ross Hemsworth are two talented musicians who have teamed up to produce these excellent songs. Both tracks are from their upcoming album Tall Stories On Short Street – which is due for release on July 31st, 2020. Click here to read more about this project.

Dennis DeYoung - 26 East: Volume 1
Dennis DeYoung – 26 East: Volume 1

Dennis DeYoung – 26 East: Volume 1 … The former Styx keyboardist/vocalist has released a new album that sounds very Styx-like. He sat down and wrote enough songs for two albums (hence the Volume 1 in the record title) – so we can look forward to a Volume 2 sometime! Listen for the tracks With All Due Respect and A Kingdom Ablaze. Read the review here.

FM – Synchronized … This is the 12th album from the UK institution that has been together for 36 years, and the band sounds as good as ever. Listen for the songs Superstar and Broken. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 5 songs are all recently released singles:

Neil Finn (with Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie) – Find Your Way Back Home … the three members of Fleetwood Mac got together to record this charity single – with all proceeds going to the Finn’s home country charity – Auckland City Mission (New Zealand).

Yusef – Where Do The Childen Play … the man formerly known as Cat Stevens is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his breakthrough album Tea For the Tillerman – by recording a re-imagined version of the album – with the original producer Paul Samwell-Smith onboard to assist. Listen to this track for a preview of what’s to come when the album is released on September 18th, 2020.

Tommy Shaw – Going To California … the Styx guitarist/singer/songwriter could not sit still during this pandemic social distancing – so he recorded this version of the Led Zeppelin classic.

New (Virus Free) Classic Rock!

I honestly never thought I would be programming a radio station during a global pandemic – but here we are. Keep safe and wash your hands! I have just loaded 23 new tracks of new (virus free) classic rock into high rotation in the playlist. Nineteen of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Boomtown Rats - Citizens Of Boomtown
Boomtown Rats – Citizens Of Boomtown

Boomtown Rats – Citizens Of BoomtownThe Rats return with their first album in 36 years, and it finds Bob Geldorf and the band going places they have never gone before – and sounding all the better for it! Part punk, part garage-band, part rock-band – all of it interesting! An unexpected pleasure indeed! Listen for the tracks Here’s A Postcard, Get A Grip and Trash Glam Baby. Read the review here.

Def Leppard – The Early Years 79-81 … This 5 CD boxed was created to celebrate the fast-approaching 40-year milestone of the band’s first two albums On Through The Night and High ‘N Dry. The set includes the original albums remastered, B-sides, rarities and re-mix versions, Radio One sessions, a live recording from the band’s Reading Festival performance, and the first ever appearance of an unreleased and newly mixed show from Oxford in 1980. Listen for early versions of the songs Rock Brigade and Glad I’m Alive. Read the review here.

Blue Oyster Cult – 40th Anniversary: Agents Of Fortune Live 2016 … Recorded on April 18, 2016 for the Audience Music Network at Red Studios in Hollywood, the band took a turn at performing their classic and most popular album for an intimate audience – with spectacular results. Listen for live versions of (Don’t Fear) The Reaper and E.T.I. Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Read the review here.

Outlaws – Dixie Highway … The band returns with a straightforward and uncomplicated album of southern rock. Twins guitars and good ole’ boy songs and solos – guaranteed to keep your toes tapping! Listen for the tracks Dixie Highway and Southern Rock Will Never Die. Read the review here.

Rory Gallagher – Check Shirt Wizard: Live In ’77 … This album is a compilation of four European shows, and serves as a strong reminder of just what made this Irish guitar player so great. Scorching blues-based electric songs and delightful acoustic number keeps the legacy alive. Listen for the songs Calling Card and Jack-Knife Beat. Read the review here.

Gordon Lightfoot – Solo … The 81 year old iconic Canadian folk-singer returns with his first studio album since 2004. Most of the songs on the album were written and first recorded — and then totally forgotten — not long before he suffered a debilitating abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2002. They were rediscovered and the decision was made to reinterpret them on his own with just his guitar. Intimate and enduring. Listen for the tracks Why Not Give It A Try and Oh So Sweet. Read the review here.

Robert Cray – That’s What I Heard … The legendary blues guitar player returns with an album of gratitude to his soul, gospel, blues, and R&B inspirations. The album features covers of songs by Bobby “Blue” Bland, Curtis Mayfield, The Sensational Nightingales and others, but also features four new original songs. Listen for the tracks Anything You Want and Hot. Read the review here.

Eric Johnson – EJ Vol II … The Texas guitar wizard moves a step closer to the singer-songwriter spotlight in his latest album. If you are looking for instrumental tunes showcasing Johnson’s fluid chops, this album is probably not for you. Instead, you’ll find introspective songs – filled with fluid, tasteful guitar licks. And that’s not bad at all! Listen for the song Waterwheel. Read the review here.

Sass Jordan – Rebel Moon Blues … This Canadian singer is a long time pioneer of powerful, gritty female-fronted rock, and has worked alongside fellow greats like Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and Van Halen, among many more, but her love for the blues has never been stronger. Featuring blues harp master Steve Marriner, this album showcases the singer’s gritty, raspy voice as she covers several blues standards. Listen for the tracks One Way Out and Leaving Trunk. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 4 songs comes from upcoming classic rock releases:
