Airstream – the new CD from singer/songwriter David Wilcox
“For in this darkness, love can show the way” Singer/songwriter David Wilcox (not to be confused with the Canadian rocker) has been a longtime favorite of mine.

VIDEO – Bill Champlin – After The Love Is Gone

Yes – Hold On (live on the Union tour in 1991) I can already hear the debate beginning among Yes fans, but me, I am STOKED to read the following story at Billboard.com! Additionally, I am happy once again to hear Jon Anderson hint at possible collaboration with former Yes man Trevor Rabin. I’m hoping […]
Song of the Moment: Jackyl – Locked and Loaded
Funny randomness – My rock and roll comrade TDavid had a post today talking about among other things, the upcoming album from AC/DC, which is currently being helmed by Brendan O’Brien, who has certainly had his hands on a number of great rock albums over the years, and maintains a diverse selection of clients from […]
