Cuatro años después de su último disco, Ángel Stanich regresa con "Os traigo amor", quizá, su canción más bonita, con unos arreglos espectaculares y un sonido retro inspirado en un episodio de los Simpsons y en una experiencia escolar del propio Stanich, tras visitar la central nuclear de Santa María de Garoña (Nuclenor), con accidente de autobús incluido… "Os traigo amor" se mueve entre Fleetwood Mac y a Al Stewart, pasando por The War On Drugs, My Morning Jacket o incluso Dire Straits y está llena de detalles que iremos descubriendo estos días.

The writer, Jon Kremer, has lived in Bournemouth, a town on the south-coast of England, since he was a teenager, coinciding with the start of the 1960s.  That famous decade of cultural change allowed him to experience many aspects of the UK music industry via both the ownership of his town's original vintage vinyl shop, Bus Stop Records, which opened during 1967's Summer of Love, and a long-standing friendship with ‘Year of the Cat' singer-songwriter, Al Stewart.  A 60's music highlight was meeting the Beatles at the height of Britain's Beatlemania.  The story of Jon and Al finding themselves in the backstage company of John Lennon moments after the Fabs had first performed “She Loves You” live for an audience, days before the record's release, became known as ‘The Men from Rickenbacker'. The tale of two teenagers pretending to be representatives of Rickenbacker guitars and needing to talk with the Beatles, eventually was retold many times in books, magazines, newspapers, tour programs, and on TV and radio.  Jon's first book, Bournemouth A Go! Go! – A Sixties Memoir, visited the story in-depth, as it takes a look back at the Bournemouth music scene in the early 60's, featuring future members of The Police, King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, and Greg Lake.   A long-time fascination with the often obscure or overlooked key history-making moments that created and energized the story of pop and rock led to Jon writing the book, Chain Reaction, Rock ‘n Pop's Magic Moments.  I've read Chain Reaction and can tell you it's a fascinating exploration of how artists influence one another as they build out their careers, especially so in the music industry.

Spencer Davis was a British rock musician and bandleader who became a major figure in the 1960s British Invasion, most notably as the founder of The Spencer Davis Group. Born in Swansea, Wales, Davis began his musical journey at a young age, inspired by American blues, jazz, and skiffle music. After moving to Birmingham to attend university, Davis immersed himself in the city's burgeoning music scene, forming the Rhythm and Blues Quartet in 1963, which quickly evolved into The Spencer Davis Group. The band's classic lineup—featuring Spencer Davis on guitar and vocals, Steve Winwood on keyboards and vocals, Muff Winwood on bass, and Pete York on drums—created a distinctive blend of R&B, blues, and rock. With Steve Winwood's soulful voice at the forefront, the band quickly found success with chart-topping hits like "Keep On Running," "Somebody Help Me," "Gimme Some Lovin'," and "I'm a Man." These tracks became iconic anthems of the era, solidifying their place in British rock history. The Spencer Davis Group was known for its energetic performances and blues-driven sound, and their influence extended across the Atlantic, helping to shape the sound of the British Invasion in the U.S. Davis's keen eye for talent was evident in his discovery of Steve Winwood, whose vocals and keyboard skills were integral to the group's success. While Steve Winwood's presence made the band famous, Davis was the guiding force, handling the management and direction of the group. When Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic, The Spencer Davis Group underwent changes but continued to release music. Though the post-Winwood years didn't achieve the same level of success, Davis remained an active and passionate musician. He relocated to the U.S. in the late 1970s and became involved in various music projects, including collaborations with other musicians and solo work. He also became an advocate for preserving the legacy of 1960s rock music. Spencer Davis's contributions to rock extended beyond just his band's success. He played a crucial role in bringing American blues and R&B influences into the British mainstream, helping shape the direction of rock music in the 1960s. His ability to bridge these genres created a lasting impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Davis continued performing well into his later years, touring and reuniting with various iterations of The Spencer Davis Group. His career, spanning over six decades, is a testament to his enduring passion for music. Spencer Davis passed away in 2020 at the age of 81, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians. His influence on rock music, particularly the fusion of blues and rock, remains a cornerstone of his legacy. As the leader of one of the British Invasion's most iconic bands, Spencer Davis helped to define the sound of an era, and his contributions to music continue to resonate today. This week we're joined by Spencer's friend and bandmate, Ed Tree who is a highly respected American guitarist, producer, and songwriter known for his versatile work across genres like rock, Americana, country, and blues. He gained widespread recognition for his collaboration with British rock icon Spencer Davis, performing as Davis's guitarist and musical partner for many years. Tree's exceptional guitar skills and keen musical sensibilities made him an integral part of Davis's live performances, adding depth to the iconic sound of The Spencer Davis Group in its later iterations. Beyond his work with Spencer, Ed Tree has enjoyed a rich career as a session musician, playing with renowned artists such as Rita Coolidge, Juice Newton, and Al Stewart. He has also produced numerous albums, further solidifying his reputation in the music industry. As a songwriter, Tree has contributed to a wide array of projects, showcasing his talent for crafting songs that resonate across multiple genres. Ed honours his friend Spencer by sharing his story with us.

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down in the Cedar Run studio with Chris Stewart, conservationist, avid hunter, and host of the YouTube "Prince of Wildlife" series.Chris has an interesting story in that he has navigated a life with parents that are well-known and decorated in the wildlife management community. He's taken what he's learned from his younger years, hanging out with all of the different personalities and professionals in the conservation world, to pursue a passion for wildlife education through Learn to Hunt programs, hosting out-of-town hunters, and in his latest venture with The Prince of Wildlife show.It was a fun conversation with another truly great person, looking forward to seeing what Chris continues to do in helping protect our hunting heritage!Check out Chris' show on YouTube where he gives a background on who and his father (Al Stewart) are, and how turkey hunting has built a strong bond through their fourteen doubles in the turkey woods. https://www.youtube.com/@PrinceOfWildlife

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Trans World Radio Bonaire "The DX Special" circa 1974Frequency: 11.815 MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Realistic DX-150A with a long wire antennaNotes: Trans World Radio from the island of Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles broadcast on shortwave from 1964 to 1993. They used to put a strong signal into my receiver location in southern Ontario, Canada. The station also used to air a program called "The DX Special", hosted by Al Stewart, which appears to have been produced in their Monte Carlo studio. I recently came across a short recording I made circa 1974, where I happened to catch the end of one of these programs.

Montrose was considered to be America's answer to Led Zeppelin in the early 70's.  Founder Ronnie Montrose had played with a number of musicians including Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, and with Edgar Winter on the hit singles “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride.”  He formed the band bearing his name with bassist/keyboardist Alan Fitzgerald, drummer Denny Carmassi, and front man Sammy Hagar.  Paper Money is the group's second album, and was the band's highest-charting release, reaching number 65 on the Billboard 200 chart.  This follow-up to their self-titled debut album took on a broader style, with a stronger range of rhythm and dynamics while downplaying the heavy metal feel of the first album.  Ronnie Montrose thought that the heavier music was a passing thing.  However Montrose was just ahead of its time, and heavy metal was about to explode.  Ronnie Montrose had a strict no-drug use policy for concerts, as he wanted all the members to be in top shape on their instruments and vocals for the show.The sessions for Paper Money were often marred by the deteriorating relationship between Montrose and Hagar.  Soon after this album release, Sammy Hagar would leave the band for a solo career and eventual duties as the front man for Van Halen. Fitzgerald would go on to play for Night Ranger, and as an offstage keyboard player for Van Halen in the 90's.  Carmassi would play for a number of artists including Heart, Whitesnake, Al Stewart, Kim Carnes, and Joe Walsh, as well as his own solo work, placing him on more recorded albums than Sammy Hagar.Wayne features this rocking album for today's podcast. StarlinerWe start this podcast with an instrumental with a space theme — prior to Star Wars.  This song is the final track for side 1 of the album.  Spaceage SacrificeAnother space themed song, this one was written by Hagar and Montrose.  Although considered “sci-fi rock,” the song itself is a bit critical of the effort and money spent to go to the moon when troubles remained unsolved on Earth.  "Don't think twice spaceage sacrifice.  Well, let's go back when it all was starting.  A man on the moon and people were starving."Paper Money This track is a critique of the monetary system in a time of inflation.  “Take away all my silver, take away my gold, and hand me a stack of paper, paper money don't hold.”  This one is the first single from the album, and the concluding track.I've Got the FireWayne saves his favorite track for last.  It is a hard-driving song with explosive energy.  This one may benefit from the concealed tension between Montrose's edgy tone and Hagar's vocal virtuosity.  It would be the last one the band recorded before Hagar left the band to pursue a solo career. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Puttin' On the Ritz by (from the motion picture “Young Frankenstein”)Mel Brooks' black and white comedy classic featured Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced FRAHNK-en-steen) and the monster in Broadway-styled number. STAFF PICKS:You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman Turner OverdriveRob get's the staff picks rolling with a Canadian band's number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song was intended as a joke for Randy Bachman's brother Gary, who had a stutter.  It was used as a “work track” to set up the mics and amps in the studio, but it wound up being a hit after it was included on their “Not Fragile” album.Killer Queen by QueenBruce's staff pick is the first U.S. hit from Queen.  It went to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is off their third album “Sheer Heart Attack.”  It is the first Queen song to incorporate the cabaret-style and harmonies that we know today as the quintessentially Queen sound.  The lyrics are about a high class call girl.Longfellow Serenade by Neil Diamond Lynch brings us a song inspired by an incident in school where Diamond used the poetry of Henry W. Longfellow to woo a girl.  It went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Adult Contemporary charts.  It is off Diamond's ninth studio album, "Serenade."I've Got the Music In Me by Kiki Dee and the Kiki Dee BandWayne wraps up the staff picks on a positive note.  The lyrics describe how the singer will not be deterred because they have the music in them.  Kiki Dee is best known in the U.S. for her duet with Elton John, but is better known in England as a singer of "blue eyed soul."  She was the first white British artist to be signed by Motown. NOVELTY TRACK:Kung Fu Fighting by Carl DouglasInterest in martial arts in the early 70's inspired this song which would go to number 1 on the US, UK, Canadian, and Australian charts.

Al Stewart is featured in Hour 3 this week. Al was formerly a DNR Wildlife Biologist. These days he's Director of the Nimrod Education Center at Hillsdale College. We wrap it up with chef Dixie Dave Minar and a very nice turkey breast recipe.

On Saturday, May 20, the classic alternative, punk, new wave, post-punk, goth, synth pop, and dark wave tribes will gather once again in Pasadena, California for the second Cruel World festival. It's an amazing lineup featuring the first Siouxsie live appearance in the US in over 15 years, Iggy Pop, Billy Idol, Love and Rockets, Echo & The Bunnymen, Adam Ant, The Human League, Gary Numan, Modern English, Gang Of Four, ABC, The Vapors, Berlin, Animotion, and a fine selection of like-minded "next generation" bands. The Lads break down the acts that they will be checking out, festival survival tips, and a heck of a lot more. Whether you are going or just wish you were, let O3L be your "pre-game show" for Cruel World! We're shining the O3L Spotlight on The Midnight Sailors, the new project from amazingly talented singer/songwriter Rich Longley and guitarist David Osborne, who share a fondness for Al Stewart, The Lilac Time, and songs about memories, childhood and history. They've produced a marvelous self-titled concept album of sorts about their experiences, and along with the ornate beauty and ambitious song structures of the aforementioned influences, there are dashes of The Go-Betweens and The Clientele and probably the best banjo flourishes you'll hear on a pop record this year. We play the gorgeous album cut, "This Time It Was Me."
