Charlie – Terry Thomas interview

Mar 11, 2010 5:40pm

Even if you’ve never heard Terry Thomas play guitar or sing, you’ve probably heard his influence on records by artists including Aerosmith, Bad Company, Tesla and Tommy Shaw; releases he either produced, co-wrote, or both. Thomas’ musical career was first established in the English band Ax, when he first introduced...

Prymary – The Enemy Inside

Mar 9, 2010 10:42am

Prymary, a progressive-metal combo based in Southern California, released their third full-length CD (their second for label, Progrock Records), The Enemy Inside in late 2009. Largely the brainchild of drummer/lyricist Chris Quirarte, the band steers well within the same territory frequented by Dream Theater or the band you might hear...

By now the word is out that there’s a group menacing the globe, consisting of Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. They are referred to as Them Crooked Vultures and farmers...

The Pineapple Thief – 3000 Days

Mar 1, 2010 3:00am

In May 2009, I was privileged to review The Pineapple Thief’s newest studio album, Tightly Unwound for ClassicRockMusicBlog.com. At that time, I emphasized that the group was well on their way to expanding their fan base by signing to the British record label Kscope, a division of Snapper Records. Now,...

Pearl Jam – Backspacer

Feb 26, 2010 1:52pm

Before I begin this review, let us please dispense with the term “grunge” as a way to describe music and stuff it aside as a word for the resinous build-up inside of a weed smoker’s bong. “Grunge” has always been a media creation for lazy journalists to lump the music...

T. Rex – The T. Rex Wax Co. Singles A’s and B’s 1972-77

Feb 22, 2010 6:45am

The T. Rex Wax Co. Singles A’s and B’s 1972-77 is a two-CD collection of glam-rock gems: “Telegram Sam,” “Cadilac,” Baby Strange,” “Metal Guru,” “Thunderwing,” “Children Of The Revolution” – the list goes on and on. T. Rex leader Marc Bolan’s facility for turning three chords and a handful of...

James Talley – Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got A Lot Of Love

Feb 16, 2010 3:00am

I write about people, and as long as they don’t go out of style I guess my music won’t go out of style. - James Talley, 1978 I remember reading about James Talley’s Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got A Lot Of Love back in high school....

Bill Leverty – Deep South

Feb 15, 2010 3:00am

Bill Leverty is the guitarist in the formerly hairy hard rock band FireHouse. Before you get the wrong idea, I am not a fan of FireHouse in any way and was thus very apprehensive about further listening to or reviewing Bill’s 3rd solo album, Deep South. In all honesty, I’d...

Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band – Hammersmith Odeon London 75

Feb 11, 2010 8:28am

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s Hammersmith Odeon London ‘75 is simply one of the greatest (if not greatest) live albums ever. The energy is unbelievable, the pacing perfect. What I like most is that this album is far from a greatest-hits collection, and songs such as “The E...
