    Review April Wine- Power Play (1982) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- April Wine - Power Play (1982). *** Hate to start on a sad note to start this review. Didn't realize until a few months ago that lead singer, lead guitar, and principle song writer of April Wine, Myles Goodwyn had passed away at age 75. This one really went...

    Review The Smithereens- 11 (1989) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Smitereens- 11 (1989) *** I really haven't been too kind to the Alternate, Grunge era of rock so far, but that does not mean there weren't some gems that I enjoyed. Like this one from 1989. In my musical tastes, by about 1990, it was getting tougher and...
