    Allman Brothers Band (Official Thread)

    How amazing is this. Who is this? Nope. Duane Betts. Dickie's son. The old man around the same age.

    New JIMI HENDRIX Album, 'Both Sides Of The Sky', Due In March

    Yeah it had a bit more funk and jazz than most of the other Hendrix experience albums. Which were also great. Just different. The Steve Winwood / Clapton cover is way cool. So is Santana with Buddy on vocals and guitar

    Most Overlooked Rock Guitar Genius

    I'd actually probably say either Peter Green or Mick Taylor. But from that list. Rory for me.

    Review “Arkansas” by John Oates. Yes, That John Oates

    I'm far from a Hall and Oats fan but I will say that they moved a long way off of their original sound once MTV (or empty v) came along. The original "blue eyed soul" thing was good if you are into Motown. The move away from that to the bubblegum crap that they churned out afterwords made me...

    New JIMI HENDRIX Album, 'Both Sides Of The Sky', Due In March

    Comes out today. I heard a story about it on NPR on the ride in this morning. Some great sounding stuff. They talked to the producer of all of Jimi's stuff. Eddie Kramer. Turns out that he used to work up most of his songs in the studio and work out the arrangements before putting them on an...

    1 Hit Wonders Of The 80's

    I always thought this one was funny I used to yell "that's cheating!" "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah" in not a song lyric!

    Sappy 80's II

    38 Special. They play the bike rallies we go to. And Don was one of Ronnie VanZandt's best friends.

    Doobie Brothers (Official Thread)

    I was so glad that the Doobies came back as the "original" band not Doobies 2.0 with Michael McDonald We saw them open for the Allman Brothers. Still sounding great. Tom Johnston can still hit the notes and Pat Simmons playing is great. They joined the Allman Brothers for Southbound later.

    Sony Japan Compiles CHEAP TRICK's Singles & Videos

    They have always been huge in Japan. Like Beatles big in Japan.

    The Cars Debut vs Cheap Trick's In Color

    I liked both but I'd give the edge by a hair to the Cars. And to be technical In Color wasn't Cheap Tricks first album. They had one before that just called Cheap Trick. And for me Cheap Trick really hit their stride with Heaven Tonight. In color was great and had some great songs but Heaven...

    Ozzy Osbourne vs. Ronnie James Dio

    It gets complicate. One of the longest running controversies about song credits is the one between the late Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson. Levon's longtime guitarist (and Dylan) Larry Campbell weighed in after Levon passed. It shows that it is a complicated issue. The line between writing and...

    Albums Of 1979 Add List (50)

    Thinking back to that time I remember that it seemed like a time of change. I remember that Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, B52's and the ilk seemed to be on the rise. I had headed off on a southern rock thing. I was still bummed about Skynyrd. And still listening to the Outlaws and Tucker and...

    Simple Pleasures

    Every generation feels this way. Our generation seems to have more genuine evidence than most but it's still the same. It's not just music. I sat in the mall the other night waiting for the wife to get her whatever lotion or candles or whatever. Can't remember it went in one ear and out the...

    BYRDS (Official Thread)

    And a lot of people see Sweatheart of the Rodeo as one of the very first of the Country Rock era. Along with the Band's first album. A lot of bands followed suit. The Dead went country shortly after. Dylan did Nashville Skyline.

    Gibson Guitar Company ‘Running Out of Time’

    Big time. They financed some bad acquisitions. Mostly electronics. At a time when software was eating the market. And then guitar sales took a dive. So they are getting it from both sides.

    Gibson Guitar Company ‘Running Out of Time’

    For me the issue with Epiphone is consistency. If you get a good Epi it's great. If you get a lemon it's not. But I've found the lemons are more common in acoustic guitars than electric. The DOT is a killer archtop. A lot of guitar for the money. Perfect example of the best value principle. Some...

    Gibson Guitar Company ‘Running Out of Time’

    Yeah the signs are bad. Maybe in an act of true irony Epiphone will buy Gibson. Not really I suspect that when Gibson goes it takes Epiphone with it. Depends on how things are set up. It could be that Epi is healthy and Gibson is fubar if they have the corporation set up that way. But probably...
