However, the address for the Choice Classic Rock stream had to be changed. This resulted in some of the third party web sites having the wrong streaming address – which no longer play anything. I am in the process of updating all the radio station directories on the internet with the new streaming address – but this is a long painstaking process. Even worse – I contacted iTunes and informed them of[...]

First, I have added 3 additional tracks from the long-awaited “almost” Fleetwood Mac album – which became a self-titled release from Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. It features Mick Fleetwood and John McVie in the rhythm section, but with Stevie Nicks declining to join the project, I guess they didn’t feel it was right to call it a Fleetwood Mac album. Nevertheless, the album features some sparkling pop nuggets. Listen for the new tracks Carnival Begin, Red Sun and Gone Too Far. Read the review here. Also, listen for a[...]
- [New Roger Waters Tracks Added](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/687/): Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) released his latest album on June 2nd.

- [Disconnected! Move To A New Server Just Happened](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/600/): Unfortunately, my service provider had to move me to a new server – which resulted in the loss of the Choice Classic Rock stream for a bit. As you can now see – the stream is back up on the web site, but it will take a little time for the new address to propagate throughout the Internet to all the secondary sites like TuneIn radio and iTunes. It should be working everywhere within the next few days. Thanks for your patience as we make this move (which will ultimately result in a better listener experience with less stream drop outs). Choice[...]
- [New Elvin Bishop Loaded Up](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/593/): I just dropped into high rotation a new track from the new album from Elvin Bishop (remember “Fooled Around And Fell In Love”?). Bishop is now a roots and blues legend, and he joins with Willy Jordan and Bob Welsh to create a rollicking album of bluesy fun!

Listen for It’s Hard Going Up, The Devil Must Be Laughing, Cards On The Table and Blue Midnight. Choice Classic Rock – classic rock like you’ve never heard it before!
- [Found! A New Cactus Release](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/573/): It’s been very quiet on the new classic rock release front – so I have been programming the music playlist and waiting for some new classic rock releases to drop. Lo and behold – I was browsing around last week and found a classic rock release that came out this past September from the early 70s band Cactus. Cactus recorded and released 4 albums in the short 2 years they were together – and with the hard rock sound they had were sometimes called the “American Led Zeppelin”. Their latest album is called Black Dawn and features two of the founding members (Carmine Appice and Jim McCarty).[...]
- [Happy Classic Rockin' New Year](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/569/): Just wanted to drop a note and wish everyone a very Happy Classic Rockin’ New Year! As I’m sure you have noticed – the Choice Classic Rock stream has been suffering some server issues for the past couple of weeks. These originated with my server service provider – but have been mostly fixed by now. We should be streaming from all the links you can find on the internet. If not – please let me know so I can have it fixed up! The one outstanding issue we are still experiencing is the Artist and Song Title information are not[...]
- [Server Issues](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/564/): Our apologies – but due to issues beyond our control, we have been experiencing server issues with our stream for the past week. These issues are slowly being fixed and the stream will work when you tune into our web site. However, 3rd party sites (like iTunes and TuneIn radio) will take about a week until they catch up. Again – our sincere apologies for this interruption to your Classic Rock listening!
- [New Neil Young Tracks Added](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/557/): I have just added 2 new tracks into high rotation from the latest release from Neil Young. The album is called Peace Trail, and its content tackles the controversial topics of today – including The Dakota Access Pipeline and corporate greed. With a more stripped-down acoustic sound featuring bassist Paul Bushnell and drummer Jim Keltner it is a worthy listen from a man in his sixth decade or producing music. Listen for the tracks Indian Givers and Peace Trail. On another note – there may be intermittent interruptions in the Choice Classic Rock streaming service for the next little while. The[...]
- [New Blues Release From The Rolling Stones](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/553/): The Rolling Stones have very recently released Blue & Lonesome – where they have gone into the studio and covered an album’s worth of Blues standards.

I have also added 4 tracks into high rotation from an album called Take It On Faith by Rossington. Rossington is none other than Garry Rossington (of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame) – teamed up with his wife Dale Krantz-Rossington. In a word, this album is “superb” – featuring Rossington‘s fine guitar work and[...]
- [New Bon Jovi, Hunter, Hayward and Santana](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/527/): I have just added 5 newly-released classic rock tracks into high rotation in the playlist. Listen for the track This House Is Not For Sale from the same-titled album from Bon Jovi. This is the first Bon Jovi album that does not have any song-writing contributions from the recently-departed Richie Sambora. I will let you decide whether the band is missing Sambora or not, but the album has received mixed reviews. I also added 2 new tracks into high rotation from Ian Hunter & The Rant Band. Ian Hunter was a long-time member of the seventies Glam Rock band – Mott[...]

The track features Derek Trucks on slide[...]

The first track is from ZZ Top‘s latest release called Live Greatest Hits From Around The World.

Also brand new into high rotation is a new track from Toto‘s latest release called Live In Montreux 1991.

First off, I have added new music from the new Beatles album – Live At The Hollywood Bowl. The album has been re-mastered by Giles Martin (son of the 5th Beatle – producer George Martin) – so a lot of the Beatlemaniacs audience screaming has been pushed into the background, allowing the listener to actually hear what the lads were singing and playing. Listen for a cover of the Little Richard[...]

- [Oops! I Missed A Foghat Release](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/460/): On June 24th of this year, Foghat released their 19th album – which is called Under The Influence. Unfortunately, I missed it! (Sorry about that Foghat fans!). To make up for my oversight, I have now added two tracks into high rotation from the album. Listen for the tracks Hot Mama and Heart Gone Cold. And … just released this past Friday is a new album from an old/new band – Blackfoot. Their new album is called Southern Native. If you remember Blackfoot from the 1970s/1980s – this is not the same band – however, it has teamed up with original Blackfoot co-founder and[...]
- [Steven Tyler Goes Country?](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/446/): I have added a couple of new tracks into high rotation this week. The first track is from the new release from Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith). The track is called We’re All Somebody From Somewhere, which incidentally is the name of the album. Recorded in Nashville, with crack session musicians, you can hear a definite country influence on several tracks on the album. The second track I have added into high rotation is taken from the new Jeff Beck album, which is called Loud Hailer. Listen for the very interesting, funk-infused track called O.I.L. (Can’t Get Enough Of That Sticky). Let[...]
- [Brand New Heart Album](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/439/): I have just added 4 tracks into high rotation from the brand new Heart album, which is called Beautiful Broken. The Wilson sisters have dug back into their back catalogue and re-recorded several tracks that they were not originally satisfied with due to production or performance. The results are engaging and energizing. Listen for the title track, which features a duet with James Hetfield (of Metallica). You can see (and hear) the video by clicking here.  A new track called Heaven is an interesting mix of different musical styles. They turn the track  Down on Me (originally from the album Bebe Le Strange) into a heavy,[...]
- [Something New for The Prog Rock Crowd](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/410/): I have added 4 new tracks into high rotation on the playlist. This includes a brand new track called Knowledge from a new album from Jon Anderson (vocalist of Yes) and Raine Stolt (of The Flower Kings and Transatlantic). The album is called Invention Of Knowledge. If you liked early Yes – you will love this album. Here is a short teaser currently on YouTube. I have also added a track from the new Eric Clapton album Crossroads Revisited, which is a 3 disc compilation featuring over 4 hours of live performances garnered over the years from Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Listen for a[...]

- [Remembering George Martin](https://www.choiceclassicrock.com/315/): I learned this morning that George Martin, the “fifth Beatle”, had passed away. His passing has left the classic rock world devoid of (yet another) master. In this case, a master producer – but also a man who guided the musical curiosity and experimentation of the Beatles into a cultural phenomenon that is still going strong some 50 years later. He was the perfect foil for the Beatles youthful energy, and the effects of this man’s work may well last forever. Here is a nice article that quickly sums up the man’s impact on classic rock. The following are just a few comments from the classic rock[...]

The really bad news – is that because it is the long weekend – I won’t be getting it back until Tuesday. (Very Bad Timing). What you are hearing now is a backup stream that is only supposed to be played for short durations while the main stream is down. It has nowhere[...]
