New Robbie Robertson, The Beatles & More!

September 30, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I have just added 17 new songs into high rotation in the playlist. Eleven of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Robbie Robertson – Sinematic … The former The Band member returns with his first album since 2011. It has the classic Robbie Robertson sound, with vocals that almost sound like they’re spoken, over a layer of shimmering guitars. Listen for the songs Street Serenade and Walk In Beauty Way. Read the review here.

The Beatles – Abbey Road (Anniversary Edition) … The Fab Four continue to celebrate their catalog of iconic releases with a 3 disc set celebrating 50 years since the initial release of this album. Re-mixed and remastered – the sound is glorious – with 2 discs of interesting outtakes and demos. Listen for a demo version of Come And Get It – a Paul McCartney song given to the band Badfinger. Read the review here.

Gerry Beckley – Five Mile Road … The co-founder of the ‘70s hitmaking-and-still-touring group America gives us an album where he plays all the instruments with just a little assistance from actor/musician Bill Mumy, former Chicago singer/bassist Jason Scheff, and Poco guitarist Rusty Young. Listen for the songs Hang Your Head High and Sudden Soldier. Read the review here.

Bruce Cockburn – Crowing Ignites … The Canadian singer-songwriter’s latest album features no singing – the entire album is made up of 11 tight instrumentals, which shows off how this folk troubadour is also a virtuosic player. Listen for the track Blind Willie. Read the review here.

Liam Gallagher – Why Me? Why Not. … The former Oasis member has returned with his second solo album, which has been met with critical acclaim and excellent sales numbers (the album debuted at #1 in the UK). Listen for the songs One Of Us and Shockwave. Read the review here.

Pixies – Beneath The Eyrie … The band’s seventh album is darker than most of their catalog, but finds them more confident sounding than they have for quite some time. However, it is arguably their most consistent body of work since their 2004 reformation and certainly their most inventive in 28 years. Listen for the tracks On Graveyard Hill and Catfish Kate. Read the review here.

Alice Cooper – The Breadcrumbs EP … Released on 10″ vinyl in a limited number (only 20,000 copies are available) – this EP (which is also available as a digital download) celebrates and salutes the artist’s earliest influences. There are only 6 songs on the EP and it clocks in at around 22 minutes – but it is a rockin’ 22 minutes of fun! Listen for the song Detroit City 2020. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 6 songs added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Tune in and listen for the following tracks:

Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Rainbow Of Colors … this is second single from the album Colorado – which is due for release on October 25th, 2019.

Harry Nilsson – Losst and Founnd … this is a single from the late superstar vocalist’s upcoming album which will feature 11 songs produced by collaborator Mark Hudson, with contributions from Jimmy Webb, Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner and Harry’s son Kiefo Nilsson. The album is due for release in November of 2019.

Huey Lewis & The News – Her Love Is Killin’ Me … this song is priming the band’s fans for their first release of new material in almost two decades. The as-yet-untitled album is due for release sometime next year.

Ringo Starr – What’s My Name … this first single is the title track of the Beatle drummer’s new album, which is due for release on October 25th, 2019.

The Who – Ball and Chain … this is the first single from the iconic band’s new album, WHO – which is due for release on November 22nd, 2019.

Gregg Rolie – What About Love … this is the first song released from the former Journey and Santana member’s new album Sonic Ranch, which is set for release on October 11, 2019.

New Allman Brothers, Ten Years After & More!

September 20, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I added 10 new songs into high rotation in the playlist this week. Eight of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

The Allman Brothers Band – Fillmore West ’71 … Just two months before their iconic At Fillmore East, the band were at Bill Graham’s Fillmore West for an epic weekend. This 4 CD set was compiled from reel-to-reel soundboard masters that have been stored away in a closet. The songs are the same, but there is great energy and great playing that lives up to the band’s legacy. Listen for the tracks Hoochie Coochie Man and Midnight Rider. Read the review here.

Ten Years After – Naturally Live … This album was recorded on March 24, 2018 in Germany during the tour that followed the release of their most recent studio album A Sting In The Tale. As well as original members Ric Lee and Chick Churchill, the band features bassist Colin Hodgkinson and guitarist/vocalist Marcus Bonfanti. Listen for a live version of their classic I’d Love To Change The World. Read the review here.

Chrissie Hynde – Valve Bone Woe … The Pretenders frontwoman decided to change up genres for her newest release. The cover album finds her diving into one of her earliest loves, Jazz. Her voice and song selection work well, going over the top at times to nail the tune with all the requisite pomp and circumstance but also experimenting in unique ways. Listen for the song No Return. Read the review here.

Iggy Pop – Free … The former Stooges 18th studio album finds him continuing down a path away from gnarly garage punk and into what I think is more interesting musical terrain. Listen for the track James Bond. Read the review here.

Status Quo – Backbone … This is the first album of new music the band has produced since the death of founding member Rick Parfitt in 2016, and it marks out a new era for a band that’s already had its share of eras. The album finds the band energized and optimistic with the addition of two new members – Richie Malone (rhythm guitar) and Leon Cave (drums). Listen for the title track Backbone and the song Liberty Lane. Read the review here.

Alice Cooper – The Breadcrumbs EP… This EP has only been released on 10” vinyl in rather limited number: only 20,000 copies available worldwide. It finds the master of shock-rock looking back at his roots in Detroit and paying homage with some cover versions. Listen for a cover of the little-known Bob Seger song East Side Story. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 2 songs added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Tune in and listen for the following tracks:

Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osborne – Take What You Want … Taken from the Generation Z rabble-rouser’s album Hollywood Bleeding, listen for Ozzy Osborne … well … doing Ozzy, as only Ozzy can.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Milky Way … This single is taken from the prolific singer/songwriter/guitarist’s impending album Colorado, which is due for release on October 25th, 2019.

Listen for the songs How Far Would You Go and Broken Toy. Read the review here.

ZZ Top – Goin’ 50 … The Texas blues rockers latest album celebrates 50 years of existence with a 50 song compilation release. Listen for a smoking live version of Waiting For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago.

New Singles

The other 3 songs added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Tune in and listen for the following tracks:

Eddie Money – Brand New Day … This track is from an album of the same name, which was due for release in May of 2019, but seems to have been removed from the release schedule after his cancer diagnosis. Hopefully, it will see the light of day soon and the Money Man will return to full health.

Happy Anniversary Woodstock!

August 11, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I have just added 21 new songs into high rotation in the playlist. Twenty of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums, including 10 tracks from recently released albums celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, which was held in Bethal, New York in August, 1969:

Various Artists – Woodstock: Back To the Garden – 50th Anniversary … One of the seminal events of the 1960s – Woodstock helped define an era. Three days of peace and music happened on Max Yasgur‘s farm over the weekend of August 15 to 18, 1969 – and featured live performances from the cream of popular music at the time – all in front of an unexpected audience of 500,000 people. To celebrate the 50th anniversary – Rhino Records has released several different albums – a 3 CD set, a 10 CD set and a definitive archive set of 38 CDs (containing every song by every performer who played at the festival). Since I could not afford the definitive set, I have chosen 8 songs from the 10 CD set and added them to the playlist. Listen for the following tracks: The Band – I Shall Be Released, Blood Sweat & Tears – Spinning Wheel, Janis Joplin – Piece Of My Heart, Crosby Stills Nash & Young – Wooden Ships, Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers, The Who – Shakin’ All Over, Joan Baez – I Shall Be Released, Johnny Winter – Johnny B Goode, Santana – Persuasion and Jimi Hendrix – Izabella. Read the review here.

Creedence Clearwater Revival – Live At Woodstock … In keeping with the Woodstock celebration, I have added 2 songs from this never-heard-before live recording of the band playing at Woodstock. Listen for the songs Born On the Bayou and Proud Mary. Read the review here.

Yes – Yes 50 Live … This is the latest “official” Yes album release – celebrating 50 years of existence of the world’s (arguably) best known progressive rock outfit. The album was recorded during two shows in Philadelphia during 2018. Listen for the song Nine Voices. Read the review here.

The Allman Betts Band – Down To The River … Devon Allman and Duane Betts are the sons of Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts (of The Allman Brothers Band), and together with Berry Oakley Jr., son of the late Berry Oakley, bassist in the classic Allman Brothers lineup – they are The Allman Betts Band. This album of new southern rock almost escaped my attention until a listener turned me on to it (thanks Miguel Cortés!). Listen for the tracks Shinin’ and All Night. Read the review here.

The Alarm – Sigma … The band’s latest album is a followup to last year’s release Equals, and finds them in familiar territory – still rocking. Listen for the song Can You Feel Me?. Read the review here.

Paul McCartney – Amoeba Gig … McCartney performed a ‘surprise’ show at Amoeba records in Los Angeles on June 27, 2007 to promote his then current album, Memory Almost Full. A few tracks from this performance have been released over the years, but this new release contains the whole show. Listen for the track Get Back. Read the review here.

Mike Love – 12 Sides Of Summer … If you are looking for a blast of summertime music, look no further than this Beach Boy‘s latest release. It features several cover versions and is guaranteed to bring you a breath of fresh summer air! Listen for the song Summertime Blues. Read the review here.

Pat Travers – Swing! … The veteran Canadian blues-rock guitar hero whose career stretches back to the late ’70s and FM mainstays like Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights), Snortin’ Whiskey and Heat in the Street returns with an interesting album of revamped jazz and jump-blues standards by the likes of Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan and others. Listen for the track Let The Good Times Roll. Read the review here.

New Dylan, Doobies, Springsteen & More!

July 17, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • 2 Comments

I have just added 20 new songs into high rotation in the playlist. Sixteen of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Bruce Springsteen - Western Stars — Bruce Springsteen – Western Stars

Bob Dylan – The Rolling Thunder Review: The 1975 Live Performances … If you haven’t seen the Martin Scorsese feature documentary, which began airing on Netflix on June 11 – you can definitely listen to the music on this 14 CD compilation and appreciate this historical event. The tour featured Joan Baez as essentially a co-star, with musicians such as “T-Bone” Burnett, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and Mick Ronson in the band – and guest appearances by Joni Mitchell and Roger McGuinn (of The Byrds). Listen for the songs Isis and Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door. Read the review here.

The Doobie Brothers – Live From the Beacon Theatre … The Doobies recorded this 2 CD/DVD set in the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City. They brought a full horn section and great energy as they performed 2 of their albums in the their entirety – Toulouse Street and The Captain and Me. Listen for the track Long Train Runnin’ / China Grove. Read the review here.

Bruce Springsteen – Western Stars … With this release of original material, The Boss leaves Broadway and his autobiography behind and turns to great songs with great characters – with a distinct western feel. This is one of his strongest albums in some time. Listen for the songs Sundown and The Wayfarer. Read the review here.

Keb’ Mo’ – Oklahoma … This Grammy winning singer-songwriter’s 13th studio album is co-produced with veteran Colin Linden and the results are remarkable. A very strong record with songs that tackle serious issues like pollution, immigration, feminist strength, mental health and, of course, love. Listen for the tracks I Remember You and the title track Oklahoma. Read the review here.

Jimmy Barnes – My Criminal Record … Barnes is one of the most successful solo artists in the history of Australian music, and one listen to this album and you’ll know why. Half the songs were co-written with Don Walker of Cold Chisel, and he does a couple of covers of Bruce Springsteen and John Lennon tunes. Listen for the songs If Time Is On My Side and the title track My Criminal Record. Read the review here.

J.J. Cale – Stay Around … Six years on from his death at the age of 74, this first posthumous release of new material is J.J. Cale proving that, as the title suggests, his music will indeed stick around. Listen for the songs. Lovingly put together by his widow and band-member Christine Lakeland Cale, the songs are very strong and the album hangs together like a brand new release. Listen for the tracks Chasing You and Go Downtown. Read the review here.

Hollywood Vampires – Rise … The Vampires are basically Joe Perry (of Aerosmith), Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp (the actor). This 2nd release is stronger than the first – and actually shows that Depp is a surprisingly good guitarist. Listen for the songs Welcome To Bushwackers (which features Jeff Beck on guitar) and a cover of the David Bowie song Heroes. Read the review here.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – Servants Of the Sun … The band fronted by the one-time singer for The Black Crowes returns with a new studio album featuring 10 songs all written by Robinson. The album features some interesting songs with a diverse mixture of musical textures. Listen for the track Some Earthly Delights. Read the review here.

Lucas Nelson + Promise Of the Real – Turn Off The News Build A Garden … Willie Nelson‘s son and band have toured and recorded with Neil Young. On this album they branch out on their own with this very accessible and well performed album. Listen for the song Where Does Love Go. Read the review here.

Roger Daltrey – The Who’s Tommy Orchestral … This album was recorded live in Budapest, Hungary and Bethel Woods, N.Y. during Daltrey’s 2018 tour, where he performed with local orchestras. Listen for the track I’m Free.

New Singles

The other 4 songs added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Tune in and listen for the following tracks:

Sheryl Crow – Still The Good Old Days … This song features Joe Walsh (of The Eagles) on guitar. It is the second single from Crow‘s next album Threads, which is due for release on August 30th, 2019.

Gerry Beckley – Life Lessons … This is the first single released from the former member of the band America‘s upcoming solo album Five Mile Road. The album is to be released on September 20th, 2019.

Cheap Trick – Ambush … This song is from the album This Is the Town: A Tribute to Harry Nilsson vol 2. The album was released on June 21st, 2019.

Freddie Mercury – Time Waits For No One … This song was originally part of Time, a musical that was spearheaded by Dave Clark, best known as the former leader and drummer of the Dave Clark Five. When Mercury’s recording of “Time,” which Clark cowrote with John Christie, came out on the soundtrack for the musical, it was heavily produced with thick layers of backing vocals and heavy drums. Now Clark has stripped the song down to the way he originally heard it.

New Frampton, Santana, Savoy Brown & More!

June 13, 2019 • Blues, New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I have just added 17 new songs into high rotation in the playlist. Fifteen of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Peter Frampton Band – All Blues … The ex-Humble Pie guitar player has released an all-blues/jazz standards album, featuring his favorite songs, written by the likes of Willie Dixon, B.B. King, Miles Davis and more. The album is a farewell of sorts, as Frampton has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease – Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) – a progressive muscle disorder characterized by muscle inflammation, weakness, and atrophy – which will eventually affect his ability to play guitar. Listen for the tracks Me And My Guitar and I Just Want To Make Love To You, and if you have a chance, see him live this summer on his “Peter Frampton Finale – The Farewell Tour“. Read the review here.

Santana – Africa Speaks … The Hall of Fame guitar player’s new album finds him focusing his energy on returning to the ultimate “source” of all things musical, and human: Africa. Listen for the song Paraísos Quemados, which features Buika on vocals. Read the review here.

Savoy Brown – City Night … Kim Simmonds really is Savoy Brown. The guitar player and now vocalist has fronted this band for over 50 years, and this album is their 40th release. Quite the catalog. The record finds the band in excellent form – featuring great guitar work from Simmonds over a killer rhythm section. Listen for the tracks Conjure Rhythm and Don’t Hang Me Out To Dry. Read the review here.

Rory Gallagher – Blues … This little-known yet critically acclaimed guitar player passed in 1995, but the deluxe version of this new album shows why he was universally admired. The deluxe version features 3 CDs – one electric, one acoustic and one containing rare live appearances. Listen for the songs I’m Ready (with Muddy Waters), You Upset Me Baby (with Albert King) and Born Under A Bad Sign (with ex-Cream vocalist/bassist Jack Bruce). Read the review here.

Neil Young + Stray Gators – Tuscaloosa … This live album was recorded in 1973 at Alabama University. It’s “the singular concert set that comes closest to providing a one-stop sampler of his acoustic, electric and country-rocking-in-between sides – which is to say, the Young live album that might best serve you on a desert island.” Listen for the track Harvest. Read the review here.

The Waterboys – Where The Action Is … The bands latest album finds them delivering more of the same well-crafted, well-performed, well-produced songs that combine pagan, primitive, spiritual and religious iconography. Listen for the songs Where The Action Is and Right Side of Heartbreak (Wrong Side of Love). Read the review here.

Duff McKagan – Tenderness … This new album from the Guns n’ Roses bass player – sounds nothing like Guns n’ Roses. His collaboration with country star and producer Shooter Jennings has instead resulted in 11 songs that reflect on life, loss and love in a sincere well-crafted delivery. Listen for the track Cold Outside. Read the review here.

Nick Lowe – Love Starvation\Trombone (EP) … This Extended Play from the veteran singer\songwriter features 4 songs that measure 14 minutes. But 14 minutes of Nick Lowe is better than none! Listen for the title track Love Starvation. Read the review here.

Rick Springfield – Orchestrating My Life … For his latest studio release, the singer revisits 11 of his better-known songs and one new arrangement – by including lush orchestral backing into the tracks. As to whether it works or not – I will let you be the judge! Listen for the song Jessie’s Girl. Read the review here.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band – The Traveler … Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been making records for 25 years. This album finds him taking a more band-oriented approach, and it works wonders. Listen for a scorching cover version of the Neil Young penned Buffalo Springfield song Mr. Soul. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 2 songs added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Tune in and listen for the following tracks:

Sheryl Crow – Prove You Wrong … This song features vocal help from Stevie Nicks (of Fleetwood Mac) and Maren Morris, as well as Joe Walsh (of The Eagles) on guitar. It is the lead single from Crow‘s next album Threads, which is due for release later this summer.

Bruce Springsteen – Tucson Train … This is the third single released from his next studio album which is called Western Stars. The album is to be released on June 14th, 2019.
