Three Sides of Pink Floyd: Animals, Wet Dream and Mihalis
October 4, 2022
After Roger Waters took over Pink Floyd with Animals (1977), David Gilmour release his first solo album, appropriately named, David Gilmour (1978), and Richard Wright followed with Wet Dream, also in 1978. All three are incredible musical works of art. Meanwhile, Nick Mason was off racing cars. Animals, the last prog-sounding work from Pink Floyd, … More Three Sides of Pink Floyd: Animals, Wet Dream and Mihalis
Roger Waters: 2022 Tour
September 23, 2022
“This is Not a Drill” I’ve seen a lot of concerts in my lifetime, Roger Waters’ trek across America this year is one I’ll never forget. This tour was making up concerts postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic. Outside the venue, I’ve never seen so many trucks outside the venue, which makes sense given … More Roger Waters: 2022 Tour
New Album Reviews: Beck/Depp, Journey, Christine McVie, Drive By Truckers, Pink Floyd
September 22, 2022
This is kind of a mish-mash of different releases; new stuff I have played and think deserving of some words. Jeff Beck / Johnny Depp , 18. At first glance I thought this was some kind of novelty joke. I’ve been a fan of Beck for 50 years, although I find his more recent material … More New Album Reviews: Beck/Depp, Journey, Christine McVie, Drive By Truckers, Pink Floyd
Classic Band Lineups
September 5, 2022
What lineups were the best for bands? Membership changes happen for various reasons: death, substance abuse, ego, solo careers, etc. Here are some of my favorites: Beatles. The post Best and Sutcliffe days, obviously. Rolling Stones. The Mick Taylor years, after Brian Jones. The classic era. Fleetwood Mac. Obviously, the McVies, Fleetwood, Buckingham and Nicks. … More Classic Band Lineups
Desert Island Music, More
June 8, 2022
A couple of years ago I made a list of albums I want with me if I’m ever marooned on a desert island. That was fun, and difficult. Yes, a had with me a solar powered record player. Here is a new list, using guidelines from vlogger Glen Kellaway. One album from each decade going … More Desert Island Music, More
A Dozen Debut Albums that Failed Expectations, but are Deserve a Listen
May 16, 2022
Success in the music industry is fickle, a creature of timing, promotion, talent, and luck. Here are five albums I own that sadly were neglected and passed into history. Larry Lee, Marooned. The sweet, polished vocalist of “Jackie Blue” of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Offered a solo album where he wrote or co-wrote the songs, … More A Dozen Debut Albums that Failed Expectations, but are Deserve a Listen
Best Songs Longer Than 10 Minutes
March 7, 2022
Remember when Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” was played at parties? What a junior high trip that was. Turn down the lights, turn up the music and get your groove on. Long songs are truly an art form. Let me qualify that. I don’t mean long, repetitive, meandering and self-indulgent noise, half of which is a drum … More Best Songs Longer Than 10 Minutes
Best Albums of 1975
January 29, 2022
This was one of the most eclectic years in music. It was easy to hear any kind of music on the radio or placed on the charts. Radio was becoming equally divided between AM and FM stations, and crossover songs between genres was common. This was the heart of classic rock, a mixture of pop, … More Best Albums of 1975
More Than Roger Waters
November 10, 2021
I got into this spirited back and forth with a guy about Roger Waters and Pink Floyd. The debate was whether most of Pink Floyd’s songwriting credit belongs to Waters. I said no. Certainly, Waters wrote some key songs for the group, but his impact is overrated in my opinion. He wasn’t Pink Floyd. Is … More More Than Roger Waters
