    Review Toto- Isolation (1984) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Toto- Isolation (1984) *** Been wanting to review a Toto album for awhile, and the problem was I was torn with what I felt were 3 classics that could have been the choice, each on their own merits. Those choices included their 1978 Self Titled LP. It put Toto...

    Review Led Zeppelin- III (1970) *****

    Classic Album of the Day- Led Zeppelin III- (1970). ***** This album and I have had a strange and up and down POV relationship throughout the years. Way way back when this was released, almost all of us based our album purchases on what we heard from the band on the radio. And when I first...

    Review Fleetwood Mac- Rumours (1977) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Fleetwood Mac- Rumours (1977) **** I have avoided (delayed) this review for the fact that I heard this thing so much in the late 1970's, and I got almost sick of it. If you lived in this era, and haven't heard at least a few of these songs, I can honestly say...

    Review Bad Company- Self Titled (1974) *** 1/2

    Point well taken, and just one of an infinity of examples of how music is 100% subjective. Put 8 songs on an album, and there is a near zero percent chance the seriatim of #1 - #8 between any two people will be the same. And in this case, in my reviews, songs that are overplayed sometimes in...

    Review Bad Company- Self Titled (1974) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Bad Company- Self Titled (1974) *** 1/2 I have on several occasions discussed the negative aspects and pitfalls of creating of Super Groups. The Rock and Roll landscape is ridden with terrible examples of how these fail, and mostly for reasons of chemistry. For...

    Is Your Partner Into Rock?

    Back in the late 60's, all we had in Texas and Louisiana was AM Country and Western. I mean the twangy Buck Owens and Conway Twitty kinda stuff. But at 11 PM every night, most of us rockers tuned into Beaker Street -KAAY in Little Rock, which was a powerful AM station that reached most of...

    Quiet Songs.

    I am not really a fan of "New Age" stuff, but there are a couple of Enya tunes (guilty pleasure) that are my "go-to" like on a stressful Freeway drive, or close. These to me are the height of etheral like relaxation.
