CD Review: Nazareth – Big Dogz
I’m pleased to welcome longtime MusicTAP site editor Matt Rowe to ATV for a guest review of the new Nazareth album Big Dogz (which will also be available on vinyl). MusicTAP is a longtime favorite destination of mine for music reviews and release news, so it’s a pleasure to have Matt’s words here on the […]
Contest: A Free MP3 and chance to win “Europe ’72” by The Grateful Dead
I had the great pleasure of speaking with longtime Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux this past week for an interview that will be online soon. How soon? As soon as my fingers can do the transcribing work! Lemieux is currently knee deep in the assembly work for the highly anticipated 72 CD release of Europe […]
Rhino Handmade prepares Chicago “Live in ’75” release
When I spent some time recently reminiscing about some great live Chicago video from the ’70s, I had no idea that my words might make it to the music gods with power to release cool stuff. Actually, it’s probably completely unrelated, but I’m very, very stoked about the latest announcement from Rhino Handmade about Chicago’s […]

Random Youtube: Foo Fighters – White Limo
As our friends at Metal Insider noted, the Foo Fighters rarely disappoint in the music video department of things (and actually, I think they’re pretty damn consistent on the musical side as well). Important note: if Metal Insider is writing about this new Foo Fighters song, you know it must be heavy. And it certainly […]
Things To Look Forward To: Ron Sexsmith – Long Player, Late Bloomer
My knowledge of the music of Ron Sexsmith is mainly limited to the short set that I saw him play a few years ago at the Beachland as part of Blue Rodeo’s tour with “Friends.” He’s always been on my ever-growing list of artists to become familiar with and after hearing his new album Long […]

The ATV Interview: Eric Johnson
Austin-based guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson has been one of my favorite guitar players for a long time and it’s always a pleasure anytime that I get a chance to catch him in concert. Johnson is currently in the midst of a few different projects, including a newly completed solo CD called Up Close that features […]
