Yogi Lang Frontman for Pink Floyd Influenced RPWL

01:11:57

Yogi Lang took his first steps in music as a keyboard player and singer in bands at school. His growing love of analogue synthesizers then turned his bedroom into a bubbling, swirling spaceship. At the end of the 1980s, he gave up his social work studies and switched to a school of audio engineering. Working in studios had already increasingly become his main occupation.

After successful studio years, it was time to go back to his roots: a band, writing songs together, performing live, all the things that made Lang choose the path of music in the first place.

RPWL was originally formed as a Pink Floyd cover band. The band's name is a combination of the first letters of the original four members' last names: Rissettio, Postl, Wallner, and Lang.

Their debut album God Has Failed in 2000 was so well received that they decided to continue and have done so to the present day.

Yogi and guitarist Kalle Wallner also built The Farm Studios, close to Munich airport, so that they could work on the band’s recordings and in 2010 founded their own record label, Gentle Art Of Music.

Working with other bands and artists in the studio is still part of Lang’s life: Subsignal, Blind Ego, Ray Wilson, to name just a few. In 2016, the band released a live album containing a full performance of Pink Floyd's The Man & The Journey.

Lang has released 2 solo albums: “No Decoder” in 2010 and his latest work “A Way Out of Here”.

Please welcome singer/songwriter/musician/producer and founding member of RPWL… YOGI LANG to Interviewing the Legends.

D I O N Releases 'Stomping Ground' with All-Star Cast!

00:37:53

Dion and his music have long represented a special time and place, reflective of a moment when a song could mean so much. When a singer could sum up what it means to be young, in love and on top of the world. R & B, blues, doo-wop and that first wave of rock all influenced Dion’s approach to music.
“I Wonder Why” was Dion’s first hit with The Belmonts and over the next two years the group earned a reputation not only for topping the charts, but for creating some of the most vital and exciting doo wop music on the American scene. With songs such as “I Wonder Why,” “A Teenager In Love” and “Where or When,” Dion & The Belmonts earned their place in music history.
The great music kept coming as Dion ventured out as a solo artist in 1960, racking up a string of #1 hits. Over an incredible four-year run he cut one classic after another from the rollicking “Runaround Sue” to the driving “Lovers Who Wander” to “The Wanderer.” He quickly rose to the top ranks of recording artists.
In 1968 Dion shot to the top of the charts once again with “Abraham, Martin and John,” a song that was as much an anthem for that era as his early hits had been for theirs. What followed in the ‘70s and ‘80s was a string of acclaimed LPs, many of which reflected his early interest in roots music. He turned increasingly to folk blues and gospel, again earning a reputation as an innovator.
In 1989 Dion entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the Hall’s earliest honorees, he was inducted just one year after the Beatles and Bob Dylan and at the same time as the Rolling Stones, Otis Redding and the Soul Stirrers.
In over six decades he has never stopped writing, recording and performing new music.
His voice is unmistakable. His music is original and entirely his own. His story is more relevant than ever.

Dion: The Wanderer Talks Truth

(Stories, Humor & Music)

by Dion Dimucci (Author), Mike Aquilina

Dion came up out of the Bronx in the 50s and tore through the music charts in a ferocious display of talent. He continued to make great music while slowly returning to his Catholic roots. His hard-won wisdom filters through his stories whether he's recalling how he went shopping with John Lennon and ended up on the cover of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band or what it was like to travel in the Jim Crow South with Sam Cooke.

Chris Hillman: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond

00:25:11

Chris Hillman’s autobiography, Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond, was one of the most celebrated music memoirs of the past year. Publisher BMG Books will soon release it in a much-anticipated paperback version with a brand-new cover, while Penguin Random House will simultaneously release an audio version featuring newly recorded excerpts of 20 songs that have been part of the artist’s musical legacy over the years. Hillman is a three-time ACM award-winner and inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of The Byrds.

As a co-founder of The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. He went on to record and perform in various configurations, including as a member of Stephen Stills’ Manassas and as a co-founder of the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. In the 1980s he formed the Desert Rose Band, scoring eight Top 10 Billboard country hits. He’s released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly acclaimed Bidin’ My Time — the final album produced by the late Tom Petty.

In Time Between, Hillman shares his quintessentially Southern Californian experience, from an idyllic, rural 1950s childhood to achieving worldwide fame with hits such as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “Eight Miles High.”

While the book features behind-the-scenes insights on his time in the Byrds, his productive but sometimes complicated relationship with Gram Parsons, his role in launching the careers of Buffalo Springfield and Emmylou Harris, and the ups and downs of life in various bands, music is only part of Hillman’s story. In Time Between, he also reveals the details of his personal life with candor and vulnerability, speaking honestly about the shocking tragedy that struck his family when he was a teenager, his subsequent struggles with anger, and how his spiritual journey led him to a place of deep faith that allowed him to extend forgiveness and experience wholeness.

As Time Between shows, Chris Hillman is much more than a rock star. He is a man who has faced down the challenges of life to discover what really matters.

Please welcome singer-songwriter-musician and founding member of …. the Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, Souther–Hillman–Furay Band, McGuinn, Clark & Hillman and the country-rock group The Desert Rose Band … CHRIS HILLMAN to Interviewing the Legends …

TIME BETWEEN

My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond

By Chris Hillman

Paperback and Audio

Chris was a true innovator — the man who invented country rock. Every time the Eagles board their private jet Chris at least paid for the fuel.” —Tom Petty

“Hillman is a bona fide pioneering godfather to generations of musical souls who sought inspiration at that divine crossroads where rock & roll, country, bluegrass, folk, honky tonk, and gospel music intersect and harmonize. He’s a national treasure.” —Marty Stuart

“This book brought back a lot of great memories: the humorous origins of The Byrds and subsequent adventures.”—Roger McGuinn

“Chris Hillman [is] the unvarnished gem of every band he has inhabited. It’s time to applaud his legacy.” —Bernie Taupin

As a cofounder of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. He went on to record and perform in various configurations, including as a member of Stephen Stills’ Manassas and as a cofounder of The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. In the 1980s he formed The Desert Rose Band, scoring eight Top 10 Billboard country hits. He’s released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly acclaimed Bidin’ My Time - the final album produced by the late Tom Petty.

In Time Between, Hillman shares his quintessentially Southern Californian experience, from an idyllic, rural 1950s childhood; to achieving worldwide fame thanks to hits such as “Mr. Tambourine Man”, “Turn! Turn! Turn!”, and “Eight Miles High”; to becoming the first musician to move to Laurel Canyon.

Featuring behind-the-scenes insights on his time in The Byrds, his productive but sometimes complicated relationship with Gram Parsons, his role in launching the careers of Buffalo Springfield and Emmylou Harris, and the ups and downs of life in various bands, music is only part of his story. Within Time Between, Hillman reveals the details of his personal life with candor and vulnerability, speaking honestly about the shocking tragedy that struck his family when he was a teenager, his subsequent struggles with anger, and how his spiritual journey led him to a place of deep faith that allowed him to extend forgiveness and experience wholeness.

As Time Between shows, Chris Hillman is much more than a rock star. He is truly a founding father of American music and a man who has faced down the challenges of life to discover what really matters.

This was the legendary band’s first post-pandemic performance since playing the Berlin Concert Hall in November 2019. Mandoki has made it his mission to fuse progressive rock with jazz rock and to bring it back to social and political relevance. He observes, “In the 30th year of the Mandoki Soulmates’ existence, the success of our online concert shows us how deeply people are touched by our unifying message. We will only overcome our global challenges – the pandemic, financial and economic crises, migration and integration, and climate change – if we overcome the divisions across all borders. Therefore, as a common struggle for a better world, young and old rebels, we must be louder than ever before!” The soundtrack is: “Utopia for Realists” Running together through a tunnel to escape Communism for freedom tends to make for life-long bonds. For Leslie Mandoki and Gábor Csupo (supo) these bonds have now come to fruition in ways that are the things of dreams. Please welcome Singer, drummer, record producer, and founder of Mandoki Soulmates … LESLIE MANDOKI to Interviewing the Legends.

David Cross 'King Crimson' Legendary Electric Violinist Zoom Exclusive!

01:01:02

David Cross is best known as a member of King Crimson on the “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” and “Starless and Bible Black” albums. He also leads the David Cross Band and has been a guest artist, recording and performing live with a number of international groups including Stick Men.

Andrew Keeling is a composer and musician whose contemporary classical works have been internationally acclaimed. Besides working with David Cross he has also orchestrated the music of Robert Fripp (The Wine of Silence), arranged for Tim Bowness (Abandoned Dancehall Dreams) as well as playing with alt-rock band, The Gong Farmers. Keeling has also written a series of Musical Guides exploring the music of such bands as King Crimson.

“October is Marigold” is the second album from David Cross (electric violin) and Andrew Keeling (flute) and it is the third to appear on Noisy Records’ ‘Electric Chamber Music’ label. Perhaps more strikingly than its predecessors, this recording epitomizes the aims of that label to present music designed for an intimate setting which makes use of musical and electronic techniques used in rock. Cross and Keeling’s “English Sun” was released in 2009 (followed by a handful of gigs) and the duo recorded much of “October is Marigold” in the same year. These tracks lay dormant until 2020 when work recommenced on the new album.

Please welcome electric violinist and keyboardist best known for playing with the progressive rock band King Crimson …DAVID CROSS to Interviewing the Legends …

Billy Cobham:The Greatest Living Drummer on the Planet!

01:00:12

Billy Cobham played as a drummer in pianist Horace Silver's band and toured the U.S. with him throughout the late 1960s. He then left to partake in Miles Davis' fusion ensemble where he can be heard on Davis classics such as 'Like-Evil' and 'A Tribute to Jack Johnson'. Eventually Cobham parted ways from Davis' group to work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, where he was able to further explore his technique and fusion style which influenced many for years to come.

After deciding to part ways with the Orchestra, Cobham started his own band, Spectrum and signed with Atlantic Records. Spectrum's debut album featured a mix of jazz, funk and rock that allowed Cobham to further experiment with percussion.

In 2001 Cobham was named one of the 25 Most Influential Drummers by Modern Drummer magazine. He paved the way for future drummers by changing the way percussion is set up, the way it is played and enjoyed.

In 2011 Cobham started teaching drums online at the Billy Cobham School of Drums which is a ArtistWorks Drum Academy. In 2018 Cobham toured across the US a performance series called "Crosswinds Project" which was his way of revisiting his second album, Crosswinds. The tour re-comprised his original work from the 1970's which continued into 2019 as a celebration of Cobham's 75th birthday. Cobham continues to tour worldwide. Interviewing the Legends declares Billy Cobham as the greatest living drummer in the world!

Please welcome the greatest living drummer on the planet … BILLY COBHAM to Interviewing the Legends.

THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES -SERIES ONE by Ray Shasho

00:00:51

WHERE HAVE ALL THE ROCK STARS GONE? Rock and Roll, the Blues, and Jazz are America's contribution to the arts, so why are we not fighting to preserve our own musical legacy and culture? Rooted from the early blues pioneers, the longevity of rock and roll is second to none. But strangely enough those legendary rock heroes that we were so accustomed to hearing every time we turned on our radios had mysteriously vanished from the mainstream. The music of the 1960's, 70's and even the 80's was an important juncture in all of our lives. So many of us timeline life's precious moments with the music we remember, when the music was so great, when the music mattered. The baby-boomer generation is financially imperative yet many of its entertainment standards have been renounced. One day, the plug was pulled on those legendary music artists. Hackers began stealing music across the internet. Online music stores popularized cheap digital singles and neglected to promote full-length albums. Radio stations changed formats to accommodate talk show radio jocks while rappers and electronic dance music menaced the airwaves. Notorious record companies began folding in droves. Record companies and radio stations that were once owned and operated by visionaries were now run by accountants and lawyers and the music world began promoting untalented wannabes. The economy plummeted, and radio stations became more concerned about how many consecutive commercials they could run instead of providing quality radio programming and entertainment value. Radio stations became corporate machines leaving no room for innovation. Throughout the 2000s, recording studios and live performances began using an audio processor called "Auto-Tune" to disguise off-key inaccuracies in vocal tracks. The device allowed virtually anyone without music skills to become a singer and new waves of mainstream radio stars were instantly fabricated. The business of music became stronger and more important than the art of music. For more than a decade, I've been on a rock and roll pilgrimage to help promote and save the greatest music the world has ever known. Before the internet and Napster, virtuoso musicians traditionally introduced their music by way of mainstream radio stations while anxious music enthusiasts hurried to their favorite record stores and purchased a copy of the artist's latest release. Talk radio wasn't popular because there was way too much great music to play over the airwaves. Advertisers didn't rule the airwaves, the music did. Rock legends toured the world to promote their latest albums and prices of concert tickets were extremely affordable. Proficient musicians, singers, and songwriters are what made the music so great.

Check the Gs by Ray Shasho

00:01:14

At an age when most kids are just getting rid of the training wheels on their bicycle, Ray Shasho entered into a crazy world of secret lingo and bullying sales tactics at the Chin Lung Art Gallery, his fathers retail store on the corner of Thirteenth and F Street in Washington, DC. Check the Gs is the true story of how this bizarre family business changed his world forever. Raised by a Cuban Catholic mother and Syrian Jewish father, Shasho made his first sale at the age of six and never looked back. Life in the family business (and in the Shasho family) was never boring. From FBI interrogations to angry mobs, each new day at the Chin Lung Art Gallery brought with it new adventures. Check the Gs tells a story for everyone who is proud of their family and heritage but not afraid to laugh at its many eccentricities, and for anyone who has ever worked in retail and experienced its humorous situations and misadventures.

Producer Michael Franklin chats about Robby Steinhardt

01:16:52

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Brought to you by The Rock Star Chronicles Series One my new book featuring over 45 intimate conversations with the greatest music legends the world will ever know. Available now at bookbay.com and amazon.com.

You know him as the legendary violinist, vocalist and frontman for the band KANSAS, recording 9 albums which reached gold, platinum and double platinum status, and is now making another mark on the world with his first and only solo album.

The new album, Not in Kansas Anymore is a powerful, well thought-out offering of Prog Rock magic. Timely songs with incredible arrangements and virtuoso performances. Robby’s vocals and signature electric violin come through on this continuous work labeled a “Prog Opera”.

The album, produced by our guest today, Michael Franklin, is his latest production since the highly acclaimed Jon Anderson 1000 Hands Chapter One. Franklin used a similar approach using a large cast of renown musicians to lend their talents. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Steve Morse of Deep Purple/Dixie Dregs, Billy Cobham of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bobby Kimball of Toto, Chuck Leavell of The Rolling Stones, Liberty Devitto (Drummer on Billy Joel’s hits), Jim Gentry, Pat Travers, Patrick Moraz, and many others including Orchestra and Choir.

Steinhardt was in a reborn state of mind in the months prior to finishing the record. He and wife Cindy were looking forward to a new chapter in their lives. He had started rehearsals and was preparing to hit the road in August when he became ill in May. Robby’s musical vision, voice and violin lives on with his first and only solo album, Not in Kansas Anymore! Release was delayed due to Steinhardt’s passing July 17, 2021.

Please welcome Grammy Nominated Musician/Producer & Inventor of many original Solar Designs: Michael Franklin to Interviewing the Legends.

I am thankful to restart my career with these exceptional pieces of music written mostly by Michael and Tim Franklin, without them, their encouragement and hard work, this never would have happened. A lot of love went into the making of this album and when you listen to it I hope you feel moved like we did. My thanks to everyone, musicians and friends alike, who have made my life so much richer than it would have been without them. And speaking of love… Cindy, you're IT.

Gary Hoey Master Blues & Rock Guitarist Exclusive!

01:00:35

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

With a collection of over 21 albums, it’s no wonder Gary Hoey is listed as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time. The world-renowned rock guitarist’s first break came in 1987 when Ozzy Osbourne liked Hoey’s tape enough to fly him to LA for an audition and encouraging him to move to the West Coast. In 1990 Hoey was signed to Reprise Records with a short-lived band called Heavy Bones but followed up in 1993 with a solo album and Gary’s cover of “Hocus Pocus” rocketed into the Billboard’s Top 5 Rock Tracks. He went on to score the successful “Endless Summer II” soundtrack for New Line Cinema and in 1995 started a trilogy of “Ho!Ho! Hoey,” a collection of instrumental Christmas classics that continues each year in his Rockin Holiday shows. Gary’s release in 2016, “Dust & Bones,” displayed an exuberant fusion of blues and rock. But whatever style he plays, one thing is certain, Gary Hoey is a fiery, charismatic player who connects with the crowd.

Whether he’s playing scorching originals or classic rock covers, his solos are thrilling and reminiscent of Clapton or Stevie Ray in their fiery youth. One thing that remains consistent is Hoey’s impassioned command of the guitar. He can attack his instrument with feral intensity and then play something very soft and achingly beautiful. This ability to mix feeling, phrasing, technique, and tone is the true mark of a master guitarist.

Please welcome rock & blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer GARY HOEY to Interviewing the Legends …

Neon Highway Blues

At amazon.com

Gary Hoey releases his new blues album NEON HIGHWAY BLUES on Provogue Records. Starting with 2013's DEJA BLUES and continuing with 2016's DUST & BONES, Hoey has tapped into his early musical influences and applied his own feral skills to take the format in a unique direction. He stays in the same lane on his latest endeavor, NEON HIGHWAY BLUES, steering its 11 tracks with the confidence and assuredness of a veteran and the freshness of someone who's still in the process of discovery and refinement -- with the help of famous friends such as Eric Gales, Lance Lopez, Josh Smith and Hoey's 17-year-old son Ian. "I really wanted to make sure this album had a lot of blues on it," says Hoey, who self-produced NEON HIGHWAY BLUES and recorded it at his home studio in New Hampshire. "It's funny because sometimes you can set out to do a blues record and halfway through you realize there's not actually that many blues songs. So I keep sticking to the blues and tried to get that to be a strong part of this record -- and still put some other songs there that the die-hard, long-time fans would like, some instrumentals and some rockin' stuff. There's definitely a variety here." Hoey is confident listeners will hear growth and stretches throughout NEON HIGHWAY BLUES. This album will take Hoey back on the highways and byways for plenty of touring and playing, well, the blues -- and more.

With Friends At St David's

2CD’s

LIVE

BY MARILLION

On July 23rd,2021 Marillion released their live album “With Friends At St David’s”, recorded in Cardiff in November 2019.

It all started with the release of “With Friends From The Orchestra” in 2019, when Marillion teamed up with “In Praise of Folly”, a string quartet accompanied by Sam Morris (French Horn) and Emma Halnan (Flute), to record a stunning album full of re-arranged Marillion treasures.

That same year, Marillion took these very special versions on tour and even added a few more highlights like “Gaza” and “Zeperated Out” to the setlist, presenting them in a whole new light.

“With Friends At St David’s” is not only a visually and sonically remarkable live album, but also a dedication to crossing musical boundaries and making “friends” outside of one genre and musical universe. The DVD and Blu-ray of this release offer even more, as they come with the previously unreleased documentary “Making Friends“, which shows Marillion in the studio during the making of “With Friends From The Orchestra”.

AVAILABLE AT AMAZON.COM

Suzi Quatro the 'Queen of Rock' Live from the UK

00:44:10

Suzi Quatro is an internationally renowned renaissance woman. Although most of her extraordinary achievements in the arts were celebrated outside the United States, she has left a momentous impression as the original first lady of rock ‘n’ roll.

Suzi scored big in the U.S. with the hit, “Stumblin’ In” (#4 Hit on Billboard’s Hot100) a Chinn/ Chapman penned composition performed as a duet with Chris Norman (Smokie).

Suzi Quatro became a household name in the U.S. as ‘Leather Tuscadero’ on the hit Television sitcom, ‘Happy Days.’ Quatro released her self-written autobiography, ‘Unzipped’ in 2007.

Suzi’s most recent release is entitled The Devil In Me, and she says it’s the best album in my career to date!”

Suzi Quatro has sold over 50-million records and helped pave the wave for generations of women rockers. Some of the women inspired by Quatro are Joan Jett, The Runaways, Pat Benatar and Deborah Harry to name just a few. Let’s hope the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame realizes that too.

"I WILL RETIRE WHEN I GO ONSTAGE, SHAKE MY ASS, AND THERE IS SILENCE"

Please welcome the Queen of Rock … SUZI QUATRO to Interviewing the Legends…

Also, a surprise appearance by Suzi’s ex-husband and guitar player Len Tuckey

PURCHASE THE LATEST RELEASE

SUZI QUATRO

THE DEVIL IN ME

Available at amazon.com

It’s got to be a very special release that has Suzi Quatro announced proudly:

“The Devil In Me" Is the best album in my career to date!” After all, the American rock vocalist would hardly utter such superlatives lightly.

Suzi’s enthusiasm for her latest offering has many reasons, twelve of them to be precise. Because The Devil In Meconsists of exactly a dozen songs, each of them – from the opening track and title song to the final ‘Motor City Riders’ – a real highlight.

Purchase

SUZI Q

On DVD

Suzi Q by Australian Director Liam Firmager charts the professional career of Detroit-born, UK-based singer/ songwriter/bassist /bandleader / actor / poet Susan Kay Quatro. The first female-rocker to break into the mainstream and the rightful Queen of Rock n Roll. The film includes Alice Cooper, Deborah Harry, Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads), Joan Jett and Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler, KT Tunstall, Australian-born record-producer/songwriter Mike Chapman, numerous members of the very musical Quatro family and many more

A MEMOIR BY SUZI QUATRO

The original memoir by glam rock sensation Suzi Quatro, subject of feature documentary 'Suzi Q'

You've seen Suzi Q, the feature documentary about legendary 70s rocker Suzi Quatro. Now read Unzipped, the story of how Little Susie from Detroit grew up to become an international superstar musician - as told by the glam rock sensation herself.

The glam rock icon behind such hits as 'Can the Can', 'Devil Gate Drive' and 'Your Mamma Won't Like Me' has sold over 50 million records worldwide and has worked, partied and rocked out with legendary figures such as Noddy Holder, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop. Suzi Quatro's transformation from girl to glam rocker was fuelled by huge talent, determination, hard work and a fabulous sense of humour, but it wasn't easy.

In Unzipped, Quatro tells her story of life behind the scenes and in the thick of it as one of the first major break-out female rock bassists. Later, she went on to Hollywood to join the cast of Happy Days, juggling her acting and music career with a turbulent personal life and constant touring around the world. Through it all, she never lost her passion to perform or her sense of adventure.

Suzi Quatro remembers it all in this brilliantly personal and funny book, a thrilling account of a life lived going hell for leather.

Dale Bozzio is an American rock and pop vocalist. She is best known as co-founder and lead singer of the '80s new wave band Missing Persons and also known for her work with Frank Zappa. While with Zappa, she performed significant roles in two of his major works, Joe’s Garage (1979) and Thing-Fish (1984). In her solo career, Bozzio has released four albums and one EP so far.

Bozzio co-founded Missing Persons in 1980 with former Zappa musicians and Terry Bozzio. In addition to being the band's lead vocalist, she also contributed lyrics. Missing Persons released one EP and six albums, including Spring Sessions M (1982), which achieved gold record status.

After Missing Persons disbanded in 1986, Bozzio was signed to Prince's Paisley Park label which released her first solo album, Riot in English (1988). The album's first single, "Simon Simon", successfully charted. Bozzio subsequently reformed Missing Persons and continues to perform the band's repertoire at venues across the United States.

Nash Albert Georgian Music Artist Live from Russia

00:35:12

Georgian singer/songwriter and rock poet Nash Albert was, among others, the frontman of the successful Soviet alternative/indie band Blast (Blast Unit Moscow), the British NME described Blast as “the godfathers of the Russian alternative scene.

However, Nash started his musical career with the band Salamandra in Moscow. In 1991, together with Salamandra, all good friends from the college, Nash went to America for touring and to build up a career. Atlantic Records’ boss Ahmet Ertegun supported him to record his first single. Texas-based English guitarist Alan Shacklock produced the tracks. By then, Shacklock had already achieved an excellent reputation as a member of the band Babe Ruth and most notably as a producer for the Steve Gibbons Band, Bonnie Tyler, The Alarm and Jeff Beck. In 1994 Salamandra split. While the band went back to Europe, Nash Albert stayed in the US for a few more years.

It wasn’t until 2019 that Salamandra and Nash came full circle again. The old bandmates started composing and arranging song material for a new Nash Albert solo album somewhere deep in the Gregorian mountains. This is how “Yet” was born, the brand-new release by Nash Albert. Officially released worldwide on the 28th of January,.2022.

Please welcome singer/songwriter/musician and rock poet …NASH ALBERT to Interviewing the Legends….

Purchase the latest release

NASH ALBERT

entitled

‘YET’

'YET' involved some unusual experiments with sound. Tim Palmer used state-of-the-art analogue processing on the mixing stage while Ilya & Nash did some weird things with magnetic tape making sure each song has its signature feel. Bob Ludwig uploaded the final mastered version of ‘Yet' just a few weeks before the lockdown caused by COVID-19 pandemic. The track list itself has some '2001: A Space Odyssey' forefeeling. You almost grasp a meaning to everything, but it stays slightly beyond the horizon.

Ross the Boss (the Dictators/Manowar/Death Dealer) chats about new release 'Born of Fire'

00:43:07

Ross the Boss, is a guitarist, known as a founding member of both the punk band the Dictators, and the heavy metal band Manowar.

Death Dealer began as an online collaboration but quickly gelled into a supergroup. The band toured the world for their two albums 2013 "Warmaster" and 2015 "Hallowed Ground".

On January 18, 2017, Ross was inducted into the Hall of Heavy Metal History for his contributions to speed metal while in Manowar.

Ross’ latest effort, Born of Fire, is his - which arrived a few years after their chart breaking 2018 effort, By Blood Sworn. While Ross the Boss used this time for extensive touring, they still found time to build their latest epics - which undoubtedly excite fans worldwide. Born of Fire is pounding yet fresher and heavier out of the speakers than before - without forgoing any of the typical Ross the Boss trademarks. And Ross’ future plans are simple. “Touring hard. Doing well. And just continue doing what we’re doing. I think the record will speak for itself, and the future will be golden for this band.”

Please welcome monster guitarist and founding member of both the punk band the Dictators, the heavy metal band Manowar and Death Dealer… ROSS THE BOSS to Interviewing the Legends.

While the singer-songwriter is justly famous for the work he did with the Rumour during the first five years of his record-making, 1975-1980, his parting of the ways with that pub-rock band allowed him to explore a different kind of singing and a different kind of songwriting. Recorded in New York with producer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith) and musicians that included members of Billy Joel's band, Another Grey Area spotlights Parker's evolving vocal abilities on one of his strongest batches of songs to date. Digitally remastered by six-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Mark Wilder with new liner notes by four-time Deems Taylor Award-winner Geoffrey Himes, based on two interviews with Graham Parker, 40 years apart.

Rick Barry NBA Hall of Famer shares his awe-inspiring sports observations.

01:08:34

Hall of Fame forward Rick Barry is the only player ever to lead the NCAA, NBA, and ABA in scoring. His name appears near the top of every all-time offensive list. He scored more than 25,000 points in his professional career and in four different seasons averaged more than 30 points. He was named to 12 All-Star teams, four All-NBA First Teams, and five All-ABA First Teams. Barry was a nearly unstoppable offensive juggernaut, a passionate competitor with an untempered desire to win.

Barry is widely known for his unorthodox but extraordinarily effective underhand free throw technique. His career .880 free throw percentage ranks No. 1 in ABA history, and at the time of his retirement in 1980, his .900 percentage was the best of any NBA player. In 1987, Barry was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all-time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Today he is a professional pickleball player who has competed in multiple events and placed in the top 3.

Roger Fisher Heart of the Blues Whiskey

Mike and Roger Fisher, co-founders of rock group Heart, wanted their own whiskey. After trying many different samples to get an idea of the direction they wanted to go, Rose City and the boys discovered a blend that Mike and Rog immediately recognized as “IT.” 100% Rye, 100 proof, aged in oak barrels, this experience is… well, let Roger tell it, “I’ve compared Heart Of The Blues with many, many others. What is special about it is, for a 100-proof liquor, it doesn’t assault the tongue like most others. It is simply more smooth. And the taste!!! It is sweet, with a flavor that simply delights. And it is light. Not a dark or heavy sensation, it floats like a butterfly on your tongue.”

Named after their 2018 album release, HEART OF THE BLUES, the music was inspired by time spent in the Mississippi Delta, home of the foundation of jazz, blues, rock, and all subsequent related styles of music. Roger Fisher and his band will spearhead the introduction of their whiskey with live performances across the nation.

The art of music is like the art of distillation: go to any length to produce the best, most fulfilling and inspiring work.

Neal Morse: 'Master of Prog' Special Guest on Interviewing the Legends

01:00:53

Neal Morse formed and played in many bands in his youth, learning and mastering several instruments along the way. In 1995, he wrote and recorded with his band Spock’s Beard The Light, an album based firmly in the then unfashionable progressive (‘prog’) rock genre. This album quickly became a modern prog classic and began to bring Neal and the band global recognition. In 2000, he also joined forces to form Transatlantic, a ‘prog rock supergroup’ that won further acclaim - and yet more fans - across the world. A second supergroup with Mike Portnoy followed - Flying Colors –with whom he earned his first #1 international chart position.

Forging out on his own in 2003, Neal has made a series of ground-breaking albums. In 2015 he formed The Neal Morse Band. Neal Morse’s latest releases are Innocence and Danger by The Neal Morse Band, The Absolute Universe by Transatlantic and most recent release Troika by D’Virgilio, Morse & Jennings.

Pat Travers Monster Guitarist Releases Two Incredible Singles!

00:20:44

PAT TRAVERS is one of the most indominable guitar slingers of his generation. An unstoppable force of bold tone, electrifying musicianship, and dynamic performance. No wonder he’s been able to persevere through numerous decades of musical fads and trends, staying true to his artform and calling.

And now Pat Travers and his band steps forward once again with a blazing new single, “Push Yourself.” Built around Travers’ trademark Fender Strat, “Push Yourself” crackles with intensity and bravado. The guitar playing is matched in grittiness and power by Travers’ own vocals, which ring out like a wakeup call to anyone thinking that this veteran blues rocker will be resting on his laurels.

In addition to the single being available on all digital platforms, it will also be pressed on limited edition RED 7” vinyl backed with another new cut “Full Spectrum” both of which are set to appear on Travers’ new studio album coming later this year!

PAT TRAVERS BAND has scheduled several concerts this spring and summer, including select dates with CACTUS.

Ann Wilson Legendary 'Heart' Songstress Talks 'Fierce Bliss' with Ray Shasho

00:29:13

THERE IS a calm, serene spirituality about Ann Wilson in 2022 which instantly draws you to her. She feels like a warm, wise someone who has seen enough bullshit to know how to avoid it calmly, and someone who is at peace with whatever she needs to be at peace with. Perhaps that is why the soul (and, indeed title) of her latest album, Fierce Bliss, offers such universally entertaining, engaging, honest and safe harbor from these unpredictable times. It is classic rock comfort food of the finest ingredients, carrying a richness and light that allows you to escape into timeless nostalgia, 11 perfectly weighted and selected songs ranging from Wilson’s own co-penned originals to breathtaking covers and collaborations.

One of the premier hard rock vocalists of all-time, Ann Wilson smashed boundaries with her band Heart, the 8-times platinum, 35 million-plus selling Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trailblazers who formed in 1973. During a decades-long career, Wilson rode the roller-coaster of fame, fortune and madness, learning both joyous and hard, hard lessons along the way. In recent times, she’d managed to find a band out on the West Coast that she toured with, and as the pandemic started in March 2020, Wilson found herself with time to absorb both her life and her future.

Marc Storace The Voice of 'Krokus' Releases New Solo Album!

01:51:32

MARC STORACE was already internationally successful with the Swiss cult band "TEA" in the 1970s. TEA released 5 albums and 3 singles. In 1979 Marc became the voice of KROKUS. After their first album with Marc, "Metal Rendez-Vous" (with the hit "Bedside Radio"), the rise to a successful international career was unstoppable. KROKUS played several world tours and sold over 15 million records and won many gold and platinum awards. After internal quarrels, KROKUS broke up and Marc released the album “Blue” in 1991 with the band “Blue”. The hit "You Can't Stop The Rainfall" is still played on the radio today.

In the 90s and 2000s Marc starred in 2 feature films (“ANUK” and “HANDYMAN”), and again achieved gold status with various KROKUS formations and 3 albums. Marc stayed present with his fans with many guest appearances such as “Rock Meets Classic”, “Sweet 50th Anniversary”, “Ken Hensley live in Switzerland”, “Schubert In Rock”, or on the albums of Manfred Ehlert's “Amen” and the rock opera “Test”.

In 2008 the music scene was surprised with the news that the original formation of KROKUS would go on tour again. The success was indescribable. Tours in the USA, Japan, Europe and South America as well as 3 new studio albums, which in turn achieved platinum status, proved that KROKUS was still flourishing after more than 2000 shows in the last 30 years. In December 2019, KROKUS played their farewell concert in the sold out Hallenstadion in Zurich.

Marc started working on his solo career at the beginning of 2021. His first solo CD is released in the USA & Canada February 5th, 2022 and going on tour with his own band “STORACE” in autumn is in the works. The fans will be amazed at the enthusiasm and freshness with which “STORACE” rocks the stage. He will showcase songs from his new CD and from his long career since the 1970s.

Swiss hard rockers Krokus have retired. But singer Marc Storace is obviously not ready to stop. As STORACE, the now 70-year-old has his solo debut with LIVE AND LET LIVE. He does what he does best: he rocks. Without delivering a pure imitation of his former band. A bluesy undertone has crept in again and again, as in "Time Waits For No One", he has a rich power ballad in the program with "Lady Of The Night", the piano-driven "Don't Wanna Go" lets the emotions run wild. With "Paradise" you can hear folk influences, while the Rocker otherwise presses hard on the classic rock pedal. With LIVE AND LET LIVE, Storace has succeeded in making an excellent, heterogeneous new beginning that will win over both old Krokus fans and new listeners alike.

Please welcome the distinctive and powerful voice of Swiss Hard Rock legends KROKUS and new band STORACE ... MARC STORACE to Interviewing the Legends ...

Roger Fisher Heart Guitar Legend Denied Access to Visit Nancy Wilson at Meet and Greet!

00:20:46

After legendary guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roger Fisher was invited to perform with Heart songstress Ann Wilson on stage and asked to perform on her next album, Roger felt great! It was awesome to reconnect with his ex bandmate once again. So he thought, why not try and reconnect with sister Nancy Wilson? Roger went to visit Nancy after her show and tried to wait for her at the meet and greet line, where fans pay to meet their favorite artists after or before a show. But the legendary Heart guitarist was denied access and asked to leave by Nancy's staff leaving Rog totally confused and quite hurt. Roger and Nancy had performed together at their induction at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies in 2013.

This excerpt was taken from a zoom interview I did with Roger and brother Mike Fisher (The Magic Man) on March 10 of this year. The complete zoom interview can be found on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2y4bI2vq4w

I was also fortunate to zoom interview with Ann Wilson. The complete zoom interview can also be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCUf9PiHQIM

Jimmy Fox: James Gang Drummer Talks About Hiring Joe Walsh and Band History!

01:35:03

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends. Brought to you by The Rock Star Chronicles Series One my new book featuring over 45 intimate conversations with the greatest music legends the world will ever know. Available now at bookbay.com and amazon.com.

The James Gang is one of classic rock's earliest power trios. Though the band's line-up changed numerous times during a seven-year existence, rock historians and fans cite the lineup of Joe Walsh, Jim Fox, and Dale Peters as the James Gang's definitive line up. The James Gang became an influential source for decades after the band's demise in 1976. It's most famous member, Joe Walsh, left the band early on to join the Eagles and his replacement, Tommy Bolin, later quit to join Deep Purple, never giving the band a proper fighting chance at becoming superstars.

The band hit its stride with James Gang Rides Again. The lineup of Walsh, Fox, and Peters proved to be a hit success as the album went gold, peaking at number 20 on Billboard. With the addition of keyboards, the band's hard boogie and groove found new heights on Rides Again 's collection of hard rockers and sensitive ballads. The riff-heavy track "Funk 49," a sort of follow up to Yer Album 's "Funk Number 48," hit number 40 on Billboard and today has one of the most memorable classic rock riffs.

In 1971, the James Gang kept their songwriting energy vibrant with the release of Thirds. The album, once again hit Billboard at number 27 while the instantly recognizable single "Walk Away," stopped at number 51. Things were going great for the band and the future looked good until the winter of 1971 when Walsh, the true driving force of the James Gang, left the group.

In the late 1990s, the James Gang reunited with Peters, Fox, and Walsh for the occasional show, including a 1996 election rally for President Bill Clinton at Cleveland State University.

Please welcome the only James Gang member that has appeared on every album … drummer Jimmy Fox to Interviewing the Legends …

VENUS 5 Heavy Metal Version of Spice Girls Exclusive Zoom TV Interview!

00:36:35

Venus 5 is primed to be one of the most fresh and exciting new musical prospects to emerge from the European metal scene in recent years. The concept for Venus 5 started with the idea of creating a “metal” version of pop projects that have proliferated over the years, but to give it the credibility that comes with an ensemble of supremely musically talented individuals.

Assembling the vocalists and musicians required a tremendous amount of time and energy as the right talent had to be in place to work together cohesively and with true chemistry. There was zero interest in making this strictly about appearance, which needed to be secondary to talent. The result is that five outstanding vocal stars in the making have been brought together from different musical environments (and countries) to work together with the vision of creating a monster album that could be unleashed on an unsuspecting public. While comparisons to this being a "metal version" of pop projects might lead one to think that the visual aspect of Venus 5 would take the lead, please make no mistake, the music here is front and center.

Venus 5 is recommended for all lovers of the current European metal scene.

Some say they are the heavy metal version of the Spice Girls …Please welcome Karmen Klinc and Erina Seitllari vocalists of VENUS 5 to Interviewing the Legends …

John Waite Legendary Voice of The Babys & Bad English New Music & Tour!

John Waite has always captured the moment through his songs, whether with the Babys (“Everytime I Think of You”) or with Bad English (“When I See You Smile”) or on his own (“Missing You” and “Change”). The experience of rock 'n' roll glory came fast and furious for John Waite during the late 1970s. His band, The Babys, captured all the excitement of hitting it big in America: hit albums, hit singles and sellout concerts. Solo in the early '80s, John Waite's career ignited with the MTV/radio staple “Change” and then exploded with “Missing You,” a worldwide number one smash that has become a pop rock radio staple.

With more live shows and new music in the offing, John Waite continues to forge his own personal path, celebrating the present and engaged by the promise of the future.

Veteran keyboardist and performer Brian C. Chatton — whose 50 plus year career encompasses all incarnations of the so-called “British Invasion” which helped to shape modern popular music — has led a storied life, far different from that of his humble beginnings in Northern England’s Lancashire province. Chatton is a gifted showman who has garnered the respect of the many music industry giants he has worked with over the years from the time of his first professional gig at the original Cavern Club in 1965. They include Phil Collins, Meat Loaf, Justin Timberlake, The Hollies, Alan Parsons, John Miles and Jon Anderson. His hit record, “I Wanna Be a Cowboy” — a collaboration with Nick Richards and the members of their band Boys Don’t Cry — sold over one million copies worldwide and is still featured in movies, advertisements and other venues over 30 years since its initial success. It also earned them a Gold record. Since immigrating to the US in the 1990s, Chatton has participated in a variety of professional experiences, including an appearance playing piano with B.B. King on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He is the father of two equally talented daughters who have followed his footsteps into the arts respectively, and of whom he is extremely proud. Emily Chatton is a much sought-after fine artist in New York City, whilst older sister Charlotte Chatton Adler has been a successful actress and screenwriter in Hollywood for over 20 years.

Rolling with Rock Royalty isn’t your ordinary autobiography about the music business.

Hailing from a blue-collar town in the North of England, teenage keyboardist Brian Chatton played his first professional gig at the world-famous Cavern Club in 1965 with Jon Anderson (YES) in their then band The Warriors. From that point on, he rocked and rolled around the world many times alongside the most celebrated rock giants during the height of the British Invasion.

Music Connection’s January 2019 review of the book states that “What comes through wonderfully is Chatton’s English charm, his glib and winning spirit, something that must’ve helped him survive the often rough and tumble rock life”.

Linda Gail Lewis Rockabilly Pioneer, Sister of 'the Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis

01:04:52

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Brought to you by The Publicity Works Agency specializing in authors & musicians

We shine only when We make you shine!

Call us today at 941-567-6193

At a time when most female artists were content with crooning sappy love songs for mainstream audiences, vocalist and pianist Linda Gail Lewis was following her own muse, singing rowdy and rousing versions of early rock classics like “C.C. Rider,” “Jim Dandy” and “Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes).” The latter track might hint at what drove Lewis to blaze her own musical path as it is a duet with Lewis’s brother, well-known raconteur and rabble rouser Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis would go on to record several times with her brother but also branched out to record several solo albums throughout the years as well as a 2000 album with Van Morrison and, more recently, has appeared on albums by Robert Gordon and Ann-Margret!

But it’s Gail’s early tracks that truly showcase her historic importance as a pioneer of rockabilly music, and these tracks have now been collected on a brand-new compilation, entitled Early Sides 1963-1973, giving fans of vintage rock and rockabilly a chance to discover her unique talents. The audio has been completely remastered by guitar icon Danny B. Harvey who had this to say about the collection “It’s a well-known fact that from 1961 until the late ‘70s, Linda Gail Lewis sang and stood beside her big brother Jerry Lee Lewis, both onstage and in the studio. Not as well-known is during that time she also managed to record her own amazing solo singles in Memphis, Nashville and LA with legendary musicians & producers like Scotty Moore, Jerry Reed, Harold Bradley, Reggie Young & of course her brother backing her.”

The Devil, Me, and Jerry Lee

Released – October 28, 1998

by Linda Gail Lewis (Author)

available at amazon.com

"Jerry Lee is not a candy ass," writes Lewis in this affectionate memoir of her life with her brother, rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis. What she's saying is hardly news? given that Jerry Lee's nickname is "The Killer," he hardly needs such a defense? but the author writes in a vivid, colloquial voice that makes old news seem almost fresh. Though Lewis's book abounds with colorful boasts regarding the sturdy Lewis libido (apparently shared by Jerry Lee, the author and their cousin Jimmy Swaggart), fans will learn little they didn't already know about the man who graced the world with the hit "Great Balls of Fire." Lewis is charming when she describes her fits of wanderlust, as when she left her family to tour the country with her older brother and his band, but one wishes she had applied her talent for brisk, direct prose to telling the story of the balancing act she has had to perform as both a mother and a traveling musician (which she only briefly addresses). Lewis also pads her narrative with worn-out anecdotes, recalling the moment when John Lennon kissed Jerry Lee's feet and the performance in which an uninvited and unwanted Janis Joplin joined Jerry Lee onstage. Lewis's appealing, plainspoken style notwithstanding, this slim family album will be appreciated by diehard fans and quickly forgotten by everyone else.

But then you don’t rack up a resumé such as his without some serious chops, having worked with the likes of Dream Theater, Black Country Communion, Billy Idol, Whitesnake - David Coverdale stating in 2020 “Derek plays like the son of Jon Lord”, - Kiss, current band Sons Of Apollo, and Alice Cooper - who in 1989 called him the “Caligula of keyboards”. The new studio album from world acclaimed keyboardist Derek Sherinian, ‘Vortex’, is out now! On the new album Sherinian is once again joined by legendary drummer Simon Phillips, who co-wrote and co-produced the album, as well as Tony ‘The Fretless Monster’ Franklin, on bass.

Derek has this to say about the release of the album: “Simon and I have found the ultimate blend of rock, prog, and fusion on VORTEX, enjoy!”

"VORTEX is one of this year's must-have records for musicians and fans of virtuoso rock." Says CLASSIC ROCK

Gilbert O'Sullivan 70s Hitmaker Releases New Album Featuring Mick Hucknall & KT Tunstall

00:35:18

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Remember We shine only when We make you shine

Call us today at 941-567-6193 or find us on the web.

It was 1972 when the hit Alone Again (Naturally) sealed the fame for singer/songwriter Gilbert O’ Sullivan.

The song topped the USA charts for six weeks and garnered three Grammy nominations. Soon after, he got his first three British number one hits with Clair, Get Down and LP Back to Front. Gilbert was named “Songwriter of the Year” Ivor Novello award, embarked on an 18-city UK tour and a USA tour, performed sold-out concerts, clocked another UK Top 10 hit with Why Oh Why Oh Why and in 1974 won a third Ivor Novello award.

And today Gilbert’s twentieth studio album Driven finds him working with a new producer, the revered Andy Wright (Simple Minds, Simply Red, Eurythmics and Jeff Beck) recording with a full band at London’s famous RAK Studios. The direction of the album is an organic and raw affair, featuring a mix of ballads as well as upbeat songs, all written by an inimitable master craftsman. In a unique addition to this new album, Gilbert O’Sullivan has collaborated on duets with Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) and KT Tunstall.

Please welcome legendary singer, songwriter and musician Gilbert O’ Sullivan to Interviewing the Legends …

Post-rock masters GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT transform their superb debut after 20 years, live in studio!

Post-rock masters GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT transform their superb debut after 20 years, live in studio! In 2022, with 20 years and a strong collection of masterful, acclaimed albums to their name, Irish post-rock maestros GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT come full circle with their live studio output, The Beginning Of The End. Recorded live at Windmill Lane Recording Studio in Dublin, Ireland on October 3, 2021, the album features modern transformations of all of the songs from their debut album, 2002’s The End Of The Beginning, encompassing each track’s evolutionary changes throughout the band’s years of live performances while allowing the original melodies and songwriting to shine through.

In addition to audible advancements in musicality, the release of The Beginning Of The End could not be more relevant than in these current dark times. War themes are strikingly evident on tracks such as the aforementioned "From Dust to the Beyond", as well as "The End of the Beginning" – named after a quote credited to Prime Minister Winston Churchill during the WWII era. Influenced by the chaos and futility of war, these themes are also reflected on the album’s cover, created by the band in collaboration with returning artist David Rooney. Featuring a war-torn concert hall and a piano, the art is a defiant message reflecting that the power of music transcends war and time.

The energy from five musicians in one room borders on magic. Whether or not they say a word, the riffs, the beats, and the rhythms carry their conversation around the room. Sons of Silver feed off this sort of face-to-face energy. A tried-and-true rock n’ roll band, they plug in and unlock a flood of emotions energized by unbridled guitars, fluid percussion, and a distinct vocal howl. After amassing over 5 million YouTube views and receiving acclaim from Consequence of Sound, American Songwriter, Paste, Substream Magazine, and more, the quintet—Pete Argyropoulos [vocals, guitar], Brina Kabler [keys, vocals], Kevin Haaland [lead guitar], Adam Kury [bass], and Dave Krusen [drums]—conjure this magic on their independent 2022 EP, Ordinary Sex Appeal.

Please welcome … Pete Argyropoulos… Kevin Haaland & Adam Kury of SONS OF SILVER to Interviewing the Legends …

PURCHASE

THE NEW RELEASE

ORDINARY SEX APPEAL

SONS OF SILVER

The five new songs on the new EP reflect the band's straightforward, no-nonsense rock 'n' roll sensibilities. They start the set with the melodically precise guitar licks and propulsive gallop of “Who’s Gonna Stop Us”, followed by “ReEducation” which swaggers and grooves with solid riffs, and a hefty backbeat. “With You” is a moody and emotional ballad showing the band’s depth and sensitive side. Next are the hypnotic vibes of “Cause Of My Pain” and they round things off with the arena-ready and snarling “Hesitate”.

And

DOOMSDAY NOISES

SONS OF SILVER

AT AMAZON.COM

In the middle of the Global Pandemic, Sons of Silver unleashed the aptly titled Doomsday Noises to widespread critical acclaim with three out of the five tracks on the EP garnering spots on Billboard Active Rock Chart. Among many highlights, American Songwriter deemed them a “Supergroup,” and Consequence of Sound proclaimed, “The song ‘Deep Division’ highlights Argyropoulos’ soulful vocals as a post-punk guitar riff powers the verse, leading into a melodic alt-rock chorus.” The track has notably generated over 1.75 million YouTube views on its music video to date.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Sheriff McCoy:

Outlaw Legend of Hanoi Rocks

The decadent autobiography of HANOI ROCKS co-founder Andy McCoy, “Sheriff McCoy: Legend of Hanoi Rocks”, is now available in English for the first time in a deluxe hardcover edition through Bazillion Points Books.
Touted as “the last great rock ‘n’ roll memoir,” Andy McCoy’s autobiography covers the legendary guitarist’s life and exploits from childhood through the early 2000s rekindling of Hanoi Rocks. McCoy helped introduce punk to Finland with his teenaged band Briard before befriending glamorous Michael Monroe and forming Hanoi Rocks. Based for a time in a Stockholm subway station, the band embarked on wild life-changing and death-defying thrill ride around the world, touring Europe, London, and America, and also Israel, Brazil, Thailand, and Japan.

The book features guest appearances by Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crue, the UK Subs, Ofra Haza, Kid Creole, Bob Marley, Lita Ford, David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls, Stiv Bators, various Brazilian street urchins, the LAPD, British customs officials, and the Israeli Army Security Forces.

Rebecca Pidgeon was born in Cambridge, MA and raised primarily in Edinburgh, Scotland, gravitating towards music as a child. Mom and Dad introduced her to the likes of James Taylor, while she eventually discovered both Kate Bush and The Sex Pistols on her own. She fronted the band Ruby Blue for three records before relocating to the United States where she launched her solo career. Fan favorite albums followed including The Raven (1994), The New York Girls’ Club (1996), The Four Marys (1998), Tough On Crime (2000), and Behind the Velvet Curtain (2008), four songs appearing in the critically acclaimed film Red Belt. The ensuing decade saw her release Slingshot (2011), Blue Dress On (2013), Bad Poetry (2014), and Sudden Exposure to Light (2019). Praising the latter, American Songwriter affirmed, “She’s the real deal,” and Glide Magazine noted, “Pidgeon’s prolific work as a songwriter and vocalist is akin to the self-immersion she undertakes for her mesmerizing performances on camera.”

In addition, she has captivated audiences on-screen as a much sought-after film and television actress. Among dozens of credits, she has appeared in celebrated classics such as The Spanish Prisoner (1997), State and Main (2000), and Heist (2001) opposite the likes of Gene Hackman, William H. Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Additionally, she has appeared in blockbusters a la Red (2010) and NETFLIX’s Bird Box (2018), to name a few.

Rebecca Pidgeon — Official Website of Rebecca Pidgeon (rebeccapidgeonmusic.com)

Bass Icon Jeff Berlin To Release New Tribute Album To Legendary Jack Bruce “Jack Songs”

Bass icon Jeff Berlin has recently released a new tribute album to legendary Jack Bruce titled “Jack Songs”. Jack Bruce, best known for his work with classic rock group Cream as well as his critically acclaimed solo work passed away in 2014. Jeff Berlin, who has been called “the greatest bass player in the world”, was a personal friend of Jack’s and wanted to record his songs in remembrance of how Jack helped Jeff to find his own musical path.

Says Jeff, “Recording the music of Jack Bruce has been the most emotional recording project of my career.”

‘Jack Songs’ isn’t a cover CD, not in the literal sense. Except for a couple of tunes from his Cream period (arranged in ways that should surprise people) most of the songs on this CD come from other periods in Jack’s musical life after Cream. Jack’s solo career represented a multitude of musical styles. This recording is a new revamp of some of those songs, some of the best music that I heard from one of the greatest musicians of the last fifty years.

Please welcome legendary Bass player & educator Jeff Berlin to Interviewing the Legends …

King's X Releasing First New Music in 14 Years: Exclusive Interview with dUg Pinnick

KINGS X architected a catalog of seminal releases. KERRANG! famously scored their 1988 full-length debut, Out of the Silent Planet, with a rare “5-out-of-5-stars.” On its heels, the landmark Gretchen Goes to Nebraska continues to inspire think pieces with Ultimate Classic Rock going as far to proclaim, “no one else has crafted anything remotely like it.” They notably appeared on the soundtrack to Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, and Guitar World christened the self-titled King’s X one of “The 30 Greatest Rock Guitar Albums of 1992” (a year notably highlighted by Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power, Alice in Chains’ Dirt, Megadeth’s Countdown To Extinction, Dream Theater’s Images and Words, and many more). Following Dogman, the group graced the stage of Woodstock 1994 and toured with everyone from Pearl Jam and AC/DC to Mötley Crüe and Iron Maiden. They also attracted one of the most diehard fanbases in music.

Their first full-length studio offering in 14 years, Three Sides of One, represents the culmination of this trip and of a bond forged way back in 1979.

Kelly Ogden: The Dollyrots Lead Singer, Songwriter and Bassist Exclusive Interview!

00:57:02

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

The Dollyrots are Kelly Ogden on vocals and bass and Luis Cabezas (head) on guitar, with Justin McGrath on live drums.

Their most recent release is Down The Rabbit Hole, a 24-track collection of B-sides, rarities, and cover songs with a Dollyrots twist. The diverse collection features songs from throughout the band’s 20-year history, remastered and including previously unheard tracks and alternate takes.

The band recently released a new 7” limited edition pink vinyl release in partnership with indie label juggernaut Cleopatra Records. The Dollyrots transform a soft rock classic, “Alone Again (Naturally)” originally recorded in 1972 by Gilbert O’Sullivan, into a fun, fist-pumping punk rock anthem! That track is backed with an original song entitled “That’s Not Even All,” which highlights the band’s double threat as both arrangers and writers!

The trio has hit the Billboard Heatseekers chart multiple times, been featured in movies and television, and have shared stages with some of punk’s biggest names. And they are currently working on new music to be released in 2023.

Please welcome lead singer/bassist/and songwriter Kelly Ogden of my new favorite group… THE DOLLYROTS to Interviewing the Legends

Vintage ‘80s Metal Recordings from Video Vixen SALLY STEELE Finally See Worldwide Release!

With her teased-up blonde hair and supermodel looks, it’s no surprise that Sally Steele found herself cast in music videos by the likes of Loverboy, Eric Carmen, Bruce Willis and others. But her true passion was always in music creation and so, in 1986, she put a band together and started performing shows in the musical mecca of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip.

Soon she crossed paths with mega producer Paul Sabu (who helped Steele bring two of her songs to life, “Too Bad (It Had To Be You” and “Leave My Heart Alone.” A music video was filmed for the latter and premiered on MTV’s Basement Tapes show in 1988.

After some personnel changes, Steele’s band soldiered on with more songs and recordings. They became regulars at The Coconut Teaser, FM Station, Madame Wong’s and The Whisky. However, as the music scene began to change in the early ‘90s Steele decided it was best to hang up her guitar – but she never lost her true passion. As Steele puts it “It was back when the Seattle grunge scene had replaced the music I loved from the ‘80s and I was told my music was ‘too commercial.’ But here we are today, and I am so excited to finally get my material out to the world. I hope you enjoy my songs from the 1980s. And one thing that has never changed is – I still live and breathe rock n’ roll 24 hours a day!” So do I Sally!

Immersed in rock music and entertainment her entire life, Sally started taking pictures of rock stars and celebrities backstage at age 14 in the mid ‘70s which included Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Deep Purple and many others that were relatively unknown at the time. She moved to Hollywood in the 80’s, where she fronted several rock bands that toured both Japan and the U.S. She also landed several roles on television and in movies, along with lead and featured roles in several MTV videos which included “Hungry Eyes” with Eric Carmen and the lead role in “Little Lady” by Duke Jupiter which was in the top 10 rotation on MTV in 1984.

Legendary Violinist Darryl Way Simultaneously Releases Concept Album & Novel!

01:14:05

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Thirty years on, old mates Steve Hogarth and Darryl Way, have collaborated on the single “Morpheus”, released on August 25th. The track is taken from Darryl’s forthcoming album “The Rock Artist’s Progress”; a unique concept and project created by legendary violinist Darryl Way that consists of an album and novel that are intrinsically linked together and sold as a bundle. The novel will also include musical illustrations created by Darryl, that can be clicked on and listened to, whilst reading. Both album and novel are due for release on September 23rd, on Spirit of Unicorn Music, Cherry Red Records, iTunes and Amazon.

The novel, written by Charles Shorwell, is set against the backdrop of the musical revolution that started with the Beatles and begins in 1968, a year after ‘The Summer of Love’ and follows the story of Daniel Luckham, a young classical pianist studying at the Royal College of Music. Seduced by the rock music scene and vibrant counterculture in London at that time, he contrives to leave college and pursue a career in ‘Rock’. But some bad decisions lead him down a dark and dangerous alley, populated by drug dealers, unscrupulous managers, and femme fatales. On his journey to fulfil his dreams, Daniel finds his integrity challenged, and the innocence of youth cruelly stripped away.

Canned Heat Legendary Drummer 'Fito' De La Parra Exclusive on Interviewing the Legends!

01:25:13

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Founded in 1966, Canned Heat rose to fame because their knowledge and love of blues music was both wide and deep. Canned Heat attained three worldwide hits with their rock anthems “On The Road Again,” “Going Up The Country,” and “Let’s Work Together.” They secured their niche in rock ‘n roll history with their performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and a headlining slot at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969.

Now, more than fifty years later and with forty albums to their credit, Canned Heat is still going strong. They have been anchored throughout the past fifty-three years by the steady hand of drummer/band leader and historian, Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra.

Fito has also written a book "LIVING THE BLUES" with his personal story and Canned Heat's, available on the band's website cannedheatmusic.com, Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

As "Keeper of the Flame" he has remained the band leader, rhythmic and spiritual force behind Canned Heat's music for over four decades.

Canned Heat remains committed to delighting their fans with creativity and musical energy as they continue to play “live” throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Please welcome the legendary drummer for CANNED HEAT …ADOLFO “FITO” DE LA PARRA to Interviewing the Legends …

Larry Tamblyn Founder of The Standells talks about the origin of "Dirty Water"

01:23:26

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

The original Standells band was formed in 1962 by lead vocalist and keyboard player Larry Tamblyn, guitarist Tony Valentino, bass guitarist Jody Rich, and drummer Benny King. Tamblyn had previously been a solo performer, recording several 45 singles in the late 1950s and early 1960s including "Dearest", "Patty Ann", "This Is The Night", "My Bride To Be" and "Destiny" for Faro and Linda Records.

The Standells released a string of garage rock singles in the mid to late 1960’s, which are now regarded as proto-punk classics. They’ve inspired such groups as the Sex Pistols and Ramones. Everyone from Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith and U2 to Minor Threat has covered Standells records.

They are best known for their 1966 hit "Dirty Water", written by their manager, Ed Cobb. (Ed Cobb is also noted for writing "Tainted Love", a Gloria Jones song which became world famous when Soft Cell did a version of it.) "Dirty Water" is now the anthem of several Boston sports teams and is played following every Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins home win.

The song is also listed in the Rock Hall of Fame as one of the 500 songs that shaped Rock & Roll.

The Standells have continued to actively perform throughout the world and their recent concert performances have been receiving rave reviews.

Please welcome original member, founder, keyboardist & singer for The Standells… LARRY TAMBLYN to Interviewing the Legends …

Metal Group Impellitteri Releases New Three-CD Compilation Album 'Wake the Beast'

In celebration of this occasion, Global Rock Records are releasing ‘Wake The Beast’ a 3 CD set on 30 September 2022.

Now ‘Wake The Beast’ brings the cream of the globally–renowned guitarist together in one place.

‘Wake The Beast’ encompasses the Impellitteri story from 1987-2010 and, what’s more, every song here was selected by Chris himself. This set then represents nothing less than what he feels are the highlights from some twelve different releases. Whether it’s a track with fan favourite Rob Rock on vocals, or even the legendary Graham Bonnet behind the mic, one thing can be sure, the intensity never lets up.

‘Wake The Beast’ is the first ever Impellitteri career spanning compilation released worldwide, featuring not only the well known album tracks, but rare Japan-released only bonus songs, B-sides and more! Don’t sleep on this one…

To date IMPELLITTERI have sold over 2 million records worldwide and have performed on the same stages as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Journey, and the list goes on!

BURRN! Magazine voted Chris Impellitteri Best Rock Guitarist!

IMPELLITTERI has been featured on multiple magazine covers, television, radio and internet shows. And, in the glorious past, featured on MTV, VH1, Headbangers Ball...

Mary Fahl's Tribute To The Music That Defined Her Exclusive!

01:07:02

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Singer/Songwriter Mary Fahl Interprets Pink Floyd, ELO and Others On New Solo Album “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head”

In an effort to find some light and comfort during these challenging times, singer/songwriter Mary Fahl looks back to some of the essential music that has brought her sustenance and clarity by reinterpreting songs from her greatest inspirations … and a tribute to the music that defined her as an artist.

Mary’s most recent release “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” is a collection of songs that she calls “essential” to her development as an artist … “On top of all the madness that was happening in the world, I was grappling with the devastating loss of my mother and sister this past year and was feeling completely rootless. In an effort to find an anchor, a link to the past, a sense of home, I began to immerse myself in the comfort of music from my youth.

“The challenge for me and my producer Mark Doyle was to make each of these songs our own while paying tribute to their original greatness...,” says Fahl, “Along with a standard hi-res audio version, we wanted to bring these classics into a new light by utilizing the latest audio technologies to reinterpret my favorite Pink Floyd, Neil Young, George Harrison, Richard Thompson, Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones, ELO, Nick Drake, Judy Collins, and the Mamas and Papas songs in the brilliant, full immersive, high-resolution clarity of 5.1 surround.”

Please welcome singer/songwriter/musician… Mary Fahl to Interviewing the Legends ….

Vanilla Fudge Release Ingenious Interpretations of Zeppelin Music!

00:40:19

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Vanilla Fudge was one of the first American groups to infuse psychedelia into a heavy rock sound to create “psychedelic symphonic rock” an eclectic genre which would, among its many off shoots, eventually morph into heavy metal.

Although, at first, the band did not record original material, they were best known for their dramatic heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs which they developed into works of epic proportion.

Vanilla Fudge celebrated their 50th year Anniversary in 2017 and are still rocking the world in the current day with one of their greatest hits 'You Keep Me Hanging On' featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'

Please welcome lead vocalist, keyboardist, composer, and arranger for classic rock legends Vanilla Fudge… MARK STEIN to Interviewing the Legends …

The last time chatted was in March of 2018… Spirit of 67 Vanilla Fudge and Mark Stein Project.

QUESTION: I just had on Arthur Brown who is 80 now. He mentioned Vanilla Fudge … I told Arthur that he and Vanilla Fudge don’t seem to age!

Steve Luongo (John Entwistle Band Drummer) Talks New Release By 'Who' Legend!

01:22:49

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Steve Luongo has produced, performed, and recorded with several well-known artists including Leslie West of Mountain, Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Eddie Money, Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Heart's Ann Wilson, Ritchie Blackmore, Mark Farner, Joe Walsh, Billy Squier. The most prolific and significant of all his work was with John Entwistle, best known as the iconic bass guitarist for The Who. The two musicians became the best of friends. Luongo produced, performed, co-wrote, and toured with The John Entwistle Band until Entwistle's death in 2002. Their last live performance together was in Japan during the A Walk Down Abbey Road tour. Later that year he was invited by The Who and Entwistle's family to write and read the eulogy at Entwistle's memorial service in London.

In 2007, Luongo served as producer and composer for a studio band he created with AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams, in which Williams recruited frontman Brian Johnson as the vocalist. The project later known as Forklift gave birth to 7 tracks. "Chain Gang on the Road" was the only track offered by the quartet and was briefly available for a free download during a run of US tour dates in 2007.

In 2012 Luongo began a musical partnership with Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander by forming The Robin Zander Band. Zander was among the first to be asked to appear in Luongo's documentary film An Ox's Tale - The John Entwistle Story about the late John Entwistle. (https://youtu.be/PwZrLRBkAfk)

ARTIST:

Steve has been creating works of art for as long as he has been playing music. His critically acclaimed colorful and flowing abstract visual art has been displayed in galleries and is in collections worldwide. Steve’s art has been described by critics as rhythmic and musical.

FASION DESIGNER:

As a fashion designer Steve Luongo based his collection on his original abstract art. His passion for rhythm and love of color are infused in this deeply personal fashion collection. Each garment is a unique artistic representation of Steve’s art and like his prints each piece is numbered making it a true limited-edition collectible.

Please welcome drummer, singer, songwriter, record producer, artist, and Fashion designer… STEVE LUONGO to Interviewing the Legends …

John Entwistle: An Ox Tale

The John Entwistle Story

Documentary

In 1964, The Who became one of the key figures of the British Invasion, taking the American music scene by storm. While Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend and Keith Moon took the spotlight with their on-stage antics, John Entwistle, dubbed "The Quiet One," stood in the shadows... poised to become the biggest bass player in rock and roll. With his arena-rock days behind him, Entwistle continued down his own path, finding great musical freedom with the John Entwistle Band. In 2002, after years of touring his solo project, Entwistle couldn't resist the lure of bringing back one of the greatest bands in rock and roll history. Tragically, plans for The Who's North American Reunion Tour were cut short when on the eve of the first show John was found dead in his Las Vegas hotel room. "The Ox," as Entwistle was affectionately known, left behind many fans and several unfinished projects. With his passing, the world lost a musical legend, dubbed Guitar Magazine's "Bassist of the Millennium." Narrated by Peter Frampton, John Entwistle: An Ox's Tale covers the life of John Entwistle, from his first public performance at the age of 14 to his feelings about The Who's most recent reunion. This film contains the last footage and interviews ever shot with Entwistle, offering the one chance for fans to discover the real life behind the man who far exceeded his greatest aspirations.

Alan Parsons Talks 'From The New World' Exclusive Interview!

00:42:31

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

Alan Parsons worked as assistant engineer on the last two albums by The Beatles and after he qualified as a fully-fledged recording engineer, he went on to work with Paul McCartney and The Hollies among many others. But it was his contribution as engineer on Pink Floyd’s classic The Dark Side Of The Moon that really got him world attention. That soon led to striking successes as a producer – notably with Pilot’s Magic, John Miles’ Highfly and Music and Steve Harley’s (Come Up And See Me) Make Me Smile. He also produced the hugely successful Year Of The Cat album with Al Stewart and two albums with American prog rock band Ambrosia.

In 1975 he met Eric Woolfson who not only became his manager but joined forces with Alan as a songwriting and performing partner for what became known as The Alan Parsons Project and a string of hit albums.

Parson’s most recent studio release is entitled From the New World and features the classic sounds Parsons has become known for in his impressive career, with progressive, symphonic, and classic rock elements all touched upon on this stunning album. Guest appearances from the likes of renowned guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, Tommy Shaw of Styx, vocalist David Pack (Ambrosia), and vocalist James Durbin add wonderful atmosphere to the stunning performances by Alan and his incredible backing band.

Kenney Jones Talks Upcoming 'Faces' Album and Tour: Exclusive Interview!

00:48:01

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

BIO: When Kenney Jones was 16, he had his first hit record and shot to fame with The Small Faces, who were at the heart of the Mod revolution which swept Britain at the time and a band who have been cited as a major influence on musicians during the 50 years which have followed. When The Small Faces split Kenney was instrumental in forming The Faces and invited Rod Stewart to be featured as lead singer. The Faces took the rock world by storm in the early 1970’s on both sides of the Atlantic and became one of the most raucous, fun-loving bands of the time, with a fanatical following.

The Faces split in the mid-70’s and Kenney along with Steve Marriott, Ian McLagan and new man, Rick Wills, re-form The Small Faces, touring for a couple of years and making two albums before deciding to call it a day. By this time Kenney was recognized as one of the top drummers in the rock industry, and it was no surprise that he was The Who’s choice to replace Keith Moon after his tragic death in 1978.

After leaving The Who, Kenney hooked up with former Bad Company singer, Paul Rodgers to form The Law in the early 1990’s. Kenney’s most recent venture is forming a new band called The Jones Gang.

Please welcome legendary drummer & rock and roll hall of famer best known for being a member of The Small Faces/Faces and The Who…

Jon Pousette-Dart American Classic & Folk Rock Singer, Songwriter & Musician Exclusive!

01:13:16

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

The Pousette-Dart Band, led by Jon Pousette-Dart carved a place in the landscape of American music in the 1970’s. They were a mainstay of album radio, a favorite on the college circuit, and became one of the busiest touring groups in the US– playing arenas and stadiums from Coast to Coast.

Jon Pousette-Dart is best known as an American Classic and Folk Rock songwriter, musician, and performing artist. Growing up in Suffern, NY with a household of artists, including his father, grandfather, and sister, he separated himself by picking up a guitar at the age of 10 and mapping out a life in music before he ever attended a little league game. Since then, it’s been a long and well-traveled road in the world of music.

His latest single is called “Say Nothing.”

David Libert: From a #1 Hit Song to Tour Manager for Alice Cooper & George Clinton!

01:22:22

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

David Libert had such a long and interesting career in the music business, his friends encouraged him to write a book about it…so he did.

The result is an autobiography 50-plus years in the making aptly entitled Rock and Roll Warrior, recently released on Sunset Blvd Books. It’s a chronicle of David’s inner circle life in the music industry as a popular international performer, singer/songwriter, tour manager, booking agent, producer, and drug dealer on the Sunset Strip. It’s a story so wild, so crazy, so over-the-top that it can only be true. You can’t make this stuff up!

From his tenure as co-lead singer of 60s pop hitmakers, The Happenings, to his role as tour manager for Alice Cooper’s most legendary 70s tours, to managing funk/R&B legend George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic to eventually being imprisoned for dealing drugs in L.A.

These days David is enjoying a much more relaxed and less hectic life. He lives in Southern California and is a devoted animal rights activist, helping to find homes for animals that desperately need one. There’s talk about the book being made into a feature length film as well, which excites David to no end.

Please welcome American music executive, musician, singer with Top40 music group The Happenings and author… David Libert to Interviewing the Legends.

PURCHASE

THE NEW BOOK

DAVID LIBERT

ROCK AND ROLL WARRIOR

at amazon.com

David Libert shares the unvarnished, absolutely true tales from the Inner circle of the music industry from Alice Cooper to Prince, on the road, backstage, on private jets and inside the notorious after-parties with music legends in the era of free-spirit, hard-driving rock ’n’ roll and R&B. It’s life on the road in technicolor. A rollercoaster ride like none other. You’re in the trenches as “Dyno Dave” engages with his hilarious, edgy, and sarcastic wit. As Tour Manager for Alice Cooper, running the first large-scale, theatrical, international rock tour to Manager of Parliament-Funkadelic Libert leads the charges with wisdom, ingenuity, dexterity, psychology, and arm-twisting. As much as it is the story of rock superstars, it is a tale of David’s journey from being the singer in the hit ‘60s pop group the Happenings (See You In September) through his days as a drug dealer on Sunset Strip.

Simon Collins and Kelly Nordstrom Talk New Prog Group and Debut Release!

01:08:16

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

With a successful progressive rock album under their belts, Simon and Kelly were determined to continue the work they started with Sound of Contact. During the UK production of Simon’s 4th solo album “Becoming Human”, Kelly recorded a demo of the song “eMolecule” in a flurry of inspiration. With this new offering, Simon and Kelly decided their way forward was as a duo and they would pool their best material under the name eMolecule.

In the summer of 2020, eMolecule decided it was time to begin work on their debut album and that it was to be a concept album.

The Architect features intense, heavy guitar and drum performances as well as deep, atmospheric, and emotionally driven arrangements. From start to finish, eMolecule’s first offering captivates the listener with infectious vocals, dynamic guitars and ultra-modern production from the epic opening track "eMolecule” to the powerful climax of the closing track “Moment of Truth”. This band and album are set to take the listener to another dimension.

Please welcome Simon Collins & Kelly Nordstrom of eMolecule to Interviewing the Legends ….

Gary Lewis Legendary Voice, Drummer & Founder of Gary Lewis & The Playboys!

00:46:49

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

BIO: It was the summer of 1964 when Gary Lewis and The Playboys® were discovered by producer Snuff Garret. Before long, with the producer/arranger team of Garrett and Leon Russell behind them, they took their first single, This Diamond Ring straight to number one. After their second hit titled Count Me In went to number two, Gary and the band proved that they would be a continued success. They followed with more Top 10 songs such as Save Your Heart For Me, Everybody Loves A Clown, She's Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her, and many more.

In 1965 Gary himself was Cash Box magazine's "Male Vocalist of the Year", winning the honor over other nominees Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra

With the reoccurring interest in oldies music, Gary Lewis & The Playboys® are one of the hottest acts around. Gary Lewis, along with the Playboys, continues to tour and entertain fans across the country and abroad.

Robin Lane formerly of Robin Lane and the Chartbusters Releases New Solo Album!

01:04:20

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

The daughter of Ken Lane, who wrote songs for Dean Martin, and a mother who was a fashion model, Robin grew up in Los Angeles. She was part of the music community in the late 1960s. In Laurel Canyon she collaborated with members of Crazy Horse and sang with Neil Young on "Round and Round (It Won't Be Long)" on his album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

After a two-year marriage with future Police guitarist Andy Summers, in the late 1970s Robin left LA behind, and moved to Boston. She formed Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, integrating punk and new wave with West Coast folk, and East Coast rock. Their three albums for Warner Bros. were Robin Lane and the Chartbusters (1980), the live EP 5 Live, and Imitation Life (1981). The rock radio-charting song “When Things Go Wrong” became the 11th music video played on MTV on its first broadcast day in 1981.

Robin’s latest release is Dirt Road to Heaven a collection of Americana music that sounds great alongside artists such as Brandi Carlile and Joan Baez. Robin’s motto of “Music is my healing tool” has paved her uniquely uplifting “dirt road to heaven” process from the get-go. Her journey has become even more effective and powerful, locally and globally, this century.

Please welcome American rock singer, songwriter and teacher best known for her band, Robin Lane & the Chartbusters … ROBIN LANE to Interviewing the Legends.

UK NEO-PROGRESSIVE ROCKERS 'SOLSTICE' RELEASE NEW ALBUM 'LIGHT UP'

01:05:08

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Andy Glass founded the UK Prog group Solstice in 1980 with violinist Marc Elton and the following 4 years would see them make the Marquee Club their home and take the band to the main stage at Reading Rock Festival, Glastonbury and many others. Following the split in 1985, a change of tack led to touring as guitarist for American soul legends Bill Withers and Geno Washington alongside his work as studio engineer and session musician. After recording Ian Anderson in the studio, Andy was invited to take the job of 'front of house' sound engineer with Jethro Tull leading to five American tours and long outings through Europe and the UK. Nothing would prove as satisfying as playing with Solstice though and so, inevitably, Andy reformed the band in its current line up in 2007.

The follow-up to 2020's acclaimed Sia is the band's seventh album, and the second to feature vocalist Jess Holland, who was placed fourth in the Best Female Vocalist category of Prog Magazine's 2022 Readers' Poll (guitarist Andy Glass also ranked 5th in the Guitarist category while the band ranked 8th in Best Band).

Big Big Train's Greg Spawton was moved to comment: "Nothing prepared me for the extraordinary new line-up that they have settled on in the last few years. Solstice are back and are back to being brilliant. Their forthcoming album, Light Up, is utterly sensational: beautiful production, great songs, great voices, tricky rhythms and epic guitar solos."

The band have lined up some live dates to support the new album, including appearances at Cropredy Festival, London's 229 venue on April 28 and a co-headline performance with fellow 80s neo-prog veterans Trilogy, the first time the two bands have performed with each other since they toured together back in 1983!

Please welcome guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and founder of UK’s Prog Rock group SOLSTICE to Interviewing the Legends …

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Ross Jennings and the hugely successful modern progressive metal band HAKEN, need no introduction They have been climbing their career mountain with grace and gusto, on the fringe of mainstream rock and metal. In 2019 HAKEN won ‘Best UK Artist’ at the annual PROG awards, with their release ‘Virus’ reaching #2 in the UK rock charts and entering the US Billboard Hot 100 at #52.

2020 gave Ross the opportunity to write and record his debut solo album A SHADOW OF MY FUTURE SELF which was released in November 2021. The album sees Ross as vocalist and guitarist, stepping slightly away from his Progressive Metal niche with songs crying out for mainstream Rock Radio...

Jennings with his band progressive rockers HAKEN recently announced their seventh studio album ‘Fauna’, the group’s most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date, will be released on March 3rd, 2023.

MIKE PINERA 'MONSTER GUITARIST' NEW 'BLUES IMAGE' ALBUM & TOUR!

01:24:38

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Solar Music is pleased to announce the new album ‘NEXT VOYAGE’ by Blues Image featuring Mike Pinera.

The album features new recordings of the band’s classics like “Ride Captain Ride” with orchestra, “In A Gada Da Vida” with the BB King Horn section, and guest appearances from Pat Travers, Jonathan Cain of Journey, and many more!

Blues Image is an American Blues Rock band formed in Tampa, Florida in 1966 by singer-guitarist Mike Pinera. The band moved to Miami in 1968, where they were instrumental in helping promoters form the most innovative music venue in South Florida, Thee Image. Blues Image became the house band at the club, which featured bands like Cream, The Grateful Dead, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.

The band moved to Los Angeles and signed with Atco Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in February 1969. Their second album, Open (April 1970), included the single “Ride Captain Ride”, written by Pinera and Skip Konte. Pinera left the band to join Iron Butterfly in the fall of 1969. The song “Ride Captain Ride” has been used in many films over the years.

German Prog Rock Sensation 'RPWL' Release New Concept Album 'Crime Scene'

00:47:10

'ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT AN INTERVIEW WITH RPWL FRONTMAN & FOUNDER YOGI LANG'

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

When a group like RPWL takes on a theme for an album, it can usually be assumed that this eclectic quartet will dive deep, very deep, into the chosen spectrum and illuminate it from all possible perspectives. Then - as with past concept albums such as "Tales from Outer Space" (2019) - the largest possible carpet is rolled out and the compositions go hand in hand with Yogi Lang's carefully written, as well as musically set lyrics, to be finally presented, arranged, and performed from one cast.

On the new long player Crime Scene this Bavarian Artrock institution directs its attention to the morbid, the perverse, the evil in good, the abysses of the human behavior spectrum in all its unpredictable diversity, which sometimes comes across as bizarrely disturbing and conclusive, if one tries to fathom it.

Progressive German rock group RPWL have announced a new album titled ‘Crime Scene’ due out on March 17th. You can Preorder the album now at www.gentleartofmusic.com

"Victim of Desire", the first single and video of their upcoming album "Crime Scene" is out now! You can watch on YouTube or listen on any streaming platform.

BEN CRAVEN CINEMATIC PROG-ROCK ARTIST FROM AUSTRALIA EXCLUSIVE!

01:17:12

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Ben Craven is a cinematic progressive-rock artist from Brisbane, Australia. He likes to make records.

His 2016 album, Last Chance To Hear, was a stunning triumphant musical masterpiece of progressive rock. The grandness of the album suggested it was performed by a five or six-piece band. Craven explained, “In keeping with the idea of the album as an endangered species, the new album’s title is Last Chance To Hear. It’s another solo album in the true sense of the word where I play just about everything, like on Potions. The difference this time is a much greater portion has turned out to be instrumental. Not that I dislike vocals, but sometimes the music can be strong and emotional and moving enough to stand on its own without them.”

There was also a special appearance on the album by legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner, providing spoken-word vocals for the track Spy In The Sky Part 3!

Craven’s most recent release, Monsters From The Id is the logical realization of Craven’s musical trajectory thus far. It’s an album of two halves, each containing a traditional progressive rock “epic” the length of a side of vinyl. The two pieces comprise flowing parts and movements with both rock and Hans Zimmer-esque orchestral arrangements, punctuated by Ben’s distinctive lead guitar and vocals. Yet the album is predominantly instrumental.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

JONAS LINDBERG & THE OTHER SIDE PROGRESSIVE ROCK FROM STOCKHOLM!

00:43:59

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Jonas Lindberg & The Other Side is a Progressive rock project from Stockholm, Sweden founded in 2012 by bass player, songwriter, and producer Jonas Lindberg.

It all started back in 2008 when the EP "IN SECRET PACE" was recorded by Jonas as an exam-project at the college of Music in Sweden. The first recordings featured a large lineup of musicians and was originally intended to work as a demo for an upcoming band. But as term ended Jonas moved to Stockholm to pursue a career as a freelance musician and the idea got put on hold. In 2012 "IN SECRET PACE" was finally released on digital platforms as Jonas started to work on new material.

This time the lineup featured a 5-piece band and the second EP "THE OTHER SIDE" was finished and released in 2013. The project was named "JONAS LINDBERG & THE OTHER SIDE" from the title track of the album after its release.

Following the enthusiastic reception of the 2016 album "PATHFINDER", Jonas began working on another full-length album in 2019. The album - called "MILES FROM NOWHERE" - is more of a solo effort than the previous album with Jonas playing most of the instruments himself, and features a few more guest musicians. Returning on a few tracks is Simon WILHELMSSON (drums) as well as Jonas's brother Joel on lead guitar. The 2022 release consists of seven songs which spans the full range of the progressive rock landscape - from the soaring “Summer Queen” (led by Jenny Storm) to the folksy instrumental "Astral Journey" to the closing title track; a sprawling 25-minute epic which features none other than Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings, Transatlantic) on lead guitar.

CLAY MELTON ELECTRIFYING TRAILBLAZING TEXAS BLUES ROCK GUITARIST!

00:47:38

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

They live and breathe the fiery swagger of electric guitars and the irresistible allure of rhythm-soaked sounds. That’s Clay Melton’s musical calling in a nutshell. At only 28, the Louisiana-born and Texas-based blues-rocker has already spent 15 years performing live. His powerfully raspy voice and wicked guitar licks leave no doubt he’s grown up in the school of barroom blues-rock.

Clay’s 2022 release, Live in Texas, which includes ten original songs and one cover, was spun on more than 160 radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. His riveting cover of ZZ Top’s Jesus Just Left Chicago, climbed to the #1 song in the world on the Roots Music Blues Rock chart in June 2022.

Live in Texas is Melton’s follow-up to 2021’s critically acclaimed release, Back to Blue, where the title track also climbed to the # 1 song in the world on Roots Music Blues Rock chart, and the album climbed to #9.

On February 24, Clay released worldwide a new single, Alive on a Wire, with a follow-up on April 14th a second new single, entitled Runner. His new album will eventually follow in late ’23 or early ’24.

entitled

‘BACK TO BLUE’

Clay’s most recent studio release, Back to Blue (released in July 2021), has been played on more than 200 radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. The EP received great acclaim when released.

The Roots Music Report (the #1 independent music chart in the world) ranked Clay, at the time of the album’s release, on their Blues Rock charts in three categories: the #1 song in the world for the title track Back to Blue, the #9 album in the world on their Blues Rock chart, and the #7 album in Texas for all genres of music.

Back to Blue is Melton’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed, full-length debut, Burn the Ships, which climbed the charts to #5 on Billboard Heatseekers chart.

Back to Blue boasts production and engineering credits by Grammy-winner Danny Jones (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Patti LaBelle, Etta James) as well as Clay himself.

On February 24, Clay will release worldwide a new single, Alive on a Wire, and follow-up on April 14 with a second new single, entitled Runner. His new album will eventually follow in late ’23 or early ’24.

Galahad was formed in 1985 just for fun playing roughly half covers (Genesis, Zeppelin, Rush, Sabbath, Focus, Marillion etc.) and half original material. Galahad then supported a few well known 'Progressive' bands that were coming up at the time.

Then, after mixing it with the slightly 'bigger boys' Galahad decided to take it more seriously and began playing only original material resulting in the release of their first proper album in 1991, 'Nothing Is Written', which was purely self -financed and released independently but which went on to sell several thousand copies.

The success of 'Nothing Is Written' was also helped by the fact that the band received substantial air play on BBC Radio One, especially on the Radio One Rock Show hosted by the late, great Tommy Vance. The band then landed themselves with deals in the UK, Japan, and Germany.

2021 saw the release of the re-mixed 1998 album 'Following Ghosts' on a limited double vinyl which is available in standard black, gold and a very limited red and orange splatter version.

'Galahad Electric Company' featuring Dean and Stu also released a second lock down album 'Soul Therapy' on CD.

Galahad's long awaited ELEVENTH studio album 'The Last Great Adventurer' which features Mark Spencer on Bass guitar on a brand new Galahad album for the first time ever was released in October 2022.

'THE LAST GREAT ADVENTURER'

at amazon.com

https://galahad1.bandcamp.com

Galahad is very pleased to announce the release of a brand-new studio album 'The Last Great Adventurer'. This latest opus, the band's eleventh studio album, has been several years in the making and most of the songs on the album pre-date the previous 'Seas of Change' album from 2018! Plus, due the constraints of the recent Covid emergency, the album was recorded at several locations over the last couple of years by the various band members and finally edited, mixed and mastered, as usual, by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena/Yes etc.). The main album consists of five tracks plus two bonus tracks on the CD including, at long last, a new version of 'Another Life Not Lived' originally written by the late and much missed Neil Pepper and Stu back in 2009. Musically the album has a crisp contemporary sound but also still includes plenty nods to the band's progressive heritage particularly on the closing title track, which is a very personal tribute to Stuart's father, Bob.

WILLIAM BELL LEGENDARY SOUL SINGER/SONGWRITER WROTE “BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN”

01:21:26

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

In a distinguished career as a singer, songwriter and producer, William Bell has come to define the essence of “soul.” Born in Memphis but based in Atlanta since 1970, William Bell was one of the pioneers of the classic Stax/Volt sound, joining such other illustrious musical forces at that label as Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the MG’s, Albert King, Eddie Floyd, Carla and Rufus Thomas, The Staple Singers and the Bar-Kays, among others.

After a two-year stint in the Armed Forces, William released his first full-length album in 1967, the classic The Soul of a Bell, which included the Top 20 hit single, “Everybody Loves a Winner.” That same year, blues great Albert King recorded what came to be his signature tune, “Born Under a Bad Sign,” also written by Bell, which has since become one of the most-recorded blues songs of all-time.

Among his other classic hits at Stax were “Any Other Way,” “Never Like This Before,” “A Tribute to a King” (William’s personal tribute to Stax legend Otis Redding), “I Forgot to be Your Lover,” his internationally acclaimed duet with Judy Clay, “Private Number,” and the perennial Christmas music favorite, “Every Day Will Be Like a Holiday.”

As a songwriter, William Bell’s compositions have also been recorded by such diverse stars as Otis Redding, Eric Clapton, Billy Idol, Lou Rawls and Rod Stewart, among many others.

In February 2017 William received a Grammy for his latest CD on STAX/Concord Records “This Is Where I Live” for Americana Album of the Year and performed on the live TV presentation with Gary Clark, Jr.!

On April 14th, 2023, William Bell will release an Album titled “One Day Closer To Home” with 12 NEW songs. William Bell continues to be a major force in the music industry!

Please welcome Singer - Songwriter - Entertainer – Record Producer- Business Man- the legendary William Bell to Interviewing the Legends …

Releasing New Album

‘One Day Closer To Home’

PURCHASE

THE LATEST ALBUM

WILLIAM BELL

entitled

‘ONE DAY CLOSER TO HOME’

Available at

https://williambellmusic.com/shop-download-music

“One Day Closer To Home” is a master class on how to put down the deepest kind of blues from a lifetime achiever. With tremendous groove, the song leans into his signature, soulful sound. Bell doesn’t waste a note, word, or bar telling this story of trying to get back to freedom and he makes you believe every bit of it. His vocal delivery is heart-wrenching, loaded with hope and despair all at once. Both the instrumentation and the track’s music video are austere and minimal, which keeps the focus on Bell, where it belongs. It’s an outstanding song that will catch you and keep you.

OFFICIALLY RELEASED APRIL 14TH 2023

Legendary Mountain Drummer Corky Laing Chats About Latest Release 'Finnish Sessions'

01:20:23

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Corky Laing is best known as the drummer of the legendary bands Mountain and West, Bruce & Laing and over the years, he has played, recorded and written with the who’s-who of rock. Apart from a six-year period in the 90s, when he worked as VP of A&R at Polygram Canada, he has been performing and making music constantly since 1965. He has received multiple gold records, several Juno Awards and was given the Bonzo Bash Legend Award in 2014.

Corky's album, the Toledo Session was released on CD in late 2019 and re-released on vinyl in 2020. The album contains nine new original tracks and the excitement brought on by the new repertoire is reminiscent of the classic Mountain albums, Climbing! and Nantucket Sleighride.

Since 2015 Corky has been touring the world celebrating the musical legacy of Mountain.

Corky’s latest release is entitled FINNISH SESSIONS recorded at E-studio in Finland in April. The album features Michael Monroe (harmonica) and Ian Hunter (keyboards) as special guests.

Tuija Takala, PhD is a widely published academic author with over 70 international articles, and 16 books and edited collections to her name published by, among others, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Springer and Routledge. Since 2012, Tuija has been working closely with Corky as his manager and partner.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

‘LETTERS TO SARAH’

At amazon.com

Letters to Sarah is a rock autobiography with a difference. In addition to the exceptionally honest and endearing voice of Corky chronicling the ups and downs of his life, there are excerpts from dozens of letters (out of the c. 200) that Corky wrote to his mother, Sarah, between the years 1963 and 1997. She had saved them all. The letters were a way for Corky, away on the road for years on end, to keep in touch with his roots and also, to make sense of his life. This continues in Letters to Sarah, as Corky relives the first 50 years of his life, up until his mother’s passing in 1998.

Arjen Lucassen Introduces His New Band 'Supersonic Revolution!

00:48:34

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

'Golden Age Of Music', the latest album to feature Lucassen's not inconsiderable talents, may also feature stellar musicianship and killer tunes, but there is no storyline that takes place far into the future in the far flung depths of space. Nor do the album's 11 tracks come courtesy of an unending list of guest artists. The result is 11 tracks of high energy, progressively inclined heavy rock.

‘Golden Age Of Music’ will be officially be released on May 19th on CD and Vinyl, but available to preorder now at https://lnk.to/SupersonicRevolution or amazon.com.

Please welcome Dutch singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician and record producer best known for his long-running progressive metal/rock opera project Ayreon …

So, you think you know Arjen Lucassen, huh? Towering Dutch prog rock polymath? The man behind the super successful prog rock conceptualists Ayreon? Not to mention his prog metal offshoots Star One and Guilt Machine? Enormous overarching concept albums about space and time, packed to the hilt with special guests that read like a who's who of modern-day progressive rock? Records that take as long to conceive as they do to record. That Arjen Lucassen? Well, think again... 'Golden Age Of Music', the latest album to feature Lucassen's not inconsiderable talents, may also feature stellar musicianship and killer tunes, but there is no storyline that takes place far into the future in the far flung depths of space. Nor do the album's 11 tracks come courtesy of an unending list of guest artists. The end result is 11 tracks of high energy, progressively inclined heavy rock that swings with the kind of groove Deep Purple rocked with in the early to mid-1970s. Golden Age Of Music is out May 19, 2023 on CD and Vinyl.

Rob Cottingham Prog Rock Mastermind Behind 'CAIRO' Exclusive Interview!

01:17:12

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Prog Ensemble CAIRO To Release 2nd Album “Nemesis” on May 5, 2023

Formed in 2016, award-winning CAIRO present a unique blend of thought-provoking songwriting with progressive rock and metal updated for the modern age. Their debut album “SAY” was met with critical acclaim and earned the band recognition and prestige across the progressive rock community. They are an established live act, having played many shows including a headline slot at Winter’s End and a main stage slot at Cambridge Rock Festival.

Their much-anticipated second album, Nemesis, is due to be released on 5th May 2023 on the QEDG -affiliated label, Spirit of Unicorn Music.

Their new studio album, recorded with John Mitchell at Outhouse Studios, taps into contemporary global concerns and demonstrates the band’s impressive, genre-defying approach with menacing, angular riffs, pop rock hooks and electronic soundscapes that all beautifully complement powerful and emotive vocals. In this exciting and purposefully eclectic new album, the band venture into familiar ‘CAIRO rocks’ territory with the dynamic, moving epics. There are also some exciting departures for the band venturing into more melodic rock areas.

There is also a short keys-based orchestral instrumental, “Save The Earth,” which doffs a cap to the likes of the sadly, recently departed Vangelis, and acts as a prologue into the title track.

Please welcome composer, songwriter, lyricist, keyboard player, and vocalist for UK progressive rock group CAIRO… ROB COTTINGHAM to Interviewing the Legends …

With the band currently in the early stages of working on a new studio album for release in 2024, their latest endeavor Ingenious Devices features new versions of a trilogy of revered Big Big Train epic tracks - East Coast Racer, Brooklands and Voyager - about how mankind has used it's ingenuity to extend it's reach by the development and deployment of technology. The new versions of East Coast Racer, Brooklands and Voyager prominently feature an elite 17-piece string section recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. Apart from the late David Longdon's lead vocals, which have been compiled from the original album sessions, East Coast Racer is a completely new studio version recorded by the line-up of the band as it was in 2019. Brooklands features newly recorded drums, bass and bass pedals, while Voyager includes additional guitar and violin. All three songs have been re-mixed for this release. Additionally Ingenious Devices includes a previously unreleased orchestral piece called The Book of Ingenious Devices, which links East Coast Racer and Brooklands, as well as a live version of Atlantic Cable, which was recorded on the band's tour in September 2022.

Legendary Rocker Mark Farner Debuts ‘Farner Chords’ Exclusive Interview!

01:01:14

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Legendary Rocker Mark Farner Debuts ‘Farner Chords’

Video Series Launches with “People, Let’s Stop The War”

Michigan’s legendary rock and roll guitarist and frontman Mark Farner is launching a long-awaited instructional video series. Farner Chords, a new video series where Farner gives a detailed look at the chords and techniques behind the hits, kicks off with “People, Let’s Stop The War”. The single first appeared in the 1971 Grand Funk Railroad album, “E Pluribus Funk”.

The video series is free and can only be accessed online at MarkFarner.com. Additional videos will roll out monthly.

Mark says …“I thought it was important to launch this video series to pay homage to all my musician friends around the world, I’ve had many tell me they love my music and dig playing the songs, but I noticed that some play the wrong chords in their versions. I didn’t want to charge for these instructional videos because the freedom that music brings is exampled in the gift. They are for those musicians who desire to learn how to play the song from one who wrote it.”

Please welcome guitarist/keyboardist/singer/songwriter best known as the original lead singer/songwriter and lead guitarist for the hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad, which he co-founded in 1969 and his current group Mark Farner’s American Band … Rock Patriot Brother Mark Farner…

Steve Babb and Hannah Pryor of Prog Rock's 'Glass Hammer' Exclusive Interview!

01:11:20

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

Glass Hammer is an American progressive rock band from Chattanooga, Tennessee. They formed in 1992 when multi-instrumentalists Steve Babb and Fred Schendel began to write and record “Journey of the Dunadan”, a concept album based on the story of Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings.

Glass Hammer is Progressive rock at its finest! First came Dreaming City (2021), followed by Skallagrim – Into the Breach (2022). Now Glass Hammer returns to the cursed realm of Andorath with Part III of their Skallagrim trilogy, AT THE GATE their most recent release. The album’s narrative concludes the sword and sorcery-inspired tale of the thief with the screaming sword, a “desperate man” who lost his lover and his memory. Lead vocalist, Hannah Pryor, joins Steve Babb, Fred Schendel, and Aaron Raulston. Singer John Beagley and former Glass Hammer vocalist Jon Davison (now of YES) make guest appearances.

Musically Glass Hammer’s most apparent influences are Yes, Kansas, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and to a less noticeable extent, Genesis. While Glass Hammer has, for the most part, combined those influences into a characteristic style of their own.

PLEASE WELCOME BASSIST/KEYBOARDIST SINGER/SONGWRITER/AUTHOR/ STEVE BABB AND SINGER HANNAH PRYOR OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP GLASS HAMMER TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS ….

“And those monsters saw not a young man with a sword but a scarred and screaming horror with the rising red doom of the sun at his back and a hellishly shrieking, flashing, living sword in his hands.”

Skallagrim wakes in the middle of a fight for his life with only the vaguest idea of who he is. Facing an angry mob of murderous cutthroats, he watches helplessly while the love of his life is abducted before his eyes. Finally, with a crushing sense of despair, he realizes he’s going to die without even knowing her name.

But he doesn’t die.

To find the girl and take his revenge upon the fiend who took her, Skallagrim, wounded and exhausted, must endure a journey like no other. He’ll face madmen, ghouls, tentacled horrors, and witches, both foul and fair, as he races toward a final showdown that will have readers on the edge of their seats.

An awe-inspiring tale of adventure, triumph, and tragedy, set in a brutal, unforgiving wilderness and packed with heart-stopping action, Skallagrim – In The Vales Of Pagarna marks the first installment of an outstanding new series.
