This week, we received our annual audit visit from corporate! That's right, The Chairman not only graced us with his presence, but he demanded we deliver to you this episode: “Grave Mistake: BÖC Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. One could argue that selling 24M albums would negate “Shoulda Been Huge” treatment. However, when most folks can only name 3 songs by this band, and one of them is due to an SNL skit, we think they fit the bill.This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category; however, there is a strong case to be made that they've been largely forgotten as innovators and architects of what we know as heavy metal. We think they should be remembered as titans of hard rock and metal! Hope ya dig!Songs this week include:Blue Öyster Cult - “Transmaniacon MC” from Blue Öyster Cult(1972)Blue Öyster Cult - “The Red & The Black” from Tyranny And Mutation (1973)Blue Öyster Cult - “Flaming Telepaths” from Secret Treaties (1974)Blue Öyster Cult - “Tenderloin” from Agents Of Fortune (1976)Blue Öyster Cult - “R.U.

Heureux de partager avec vous trois excellentes nouvelles sorties ! Par respect pour son age canonique, commençons par HAWKWIND dont l'album "There Is Nos Space For Us" nous place immédiatement en orbite...Et ça fait du bien de nous éloigner de cette planète de plus en plus folle...Dave Brock (seul membre de l'équipage d'origine) navigue dans l'espace depuis 1970 avec un rythme toujours soutenu de parutions !  Toujours en Terre d'Albion, RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN publie le 3ème volet de sa trilogie consacrée à la mythologie grecque dont vous avez pu découvrir les deux premiers ici même au cours de l'année dernière. Et à mon humble avis, il nous a gardé le meilleur pour la fin ! Beaucoup innovations sonores sur cet album (presque) instrumental intitulé "The Beauty, The Strenght & The Divine" A écouter confortablement installé et en immersion dans la palette de sons de Maître Richard !  De ce côté ci de la Manche aussi nous avons des talents, notamment à Rennes dont la réputation n'est plus à faire ! DRAMA KING est le projet solo de l'artiste breton Kevin Gourdin issu de la scène punk rock. Ce projet est plus intimiste, ambiance Nick Cave et là encore, il est recommandé de vous  installer confortablement pour écouter cet album "Mud & Concrete" qui a des choses à dire ! Vous pourrez aussi en profiter version live, puisque Kevin défend son œuvre en tournée avec ses musiciens. Pour  nos auditeurs nantais, cela se passera au COLD CRACH à Rezé demain 25 avril, à ne pas manquer les amis !  Autre idée de sortie dans la cité des Ducs, LE FLORIDE accueille ce samedi 26 avril trois groupes de la scène métal. Pour vous en donner un avant-goût dans ce numéro : BLACK RADISH & THE TAINTED GOURDS, c'est du lourd ! A retrouver en concert samedi aux côtés de RIPLEY FROM MARS et MAANEN FACES, ambiance garantie ! Italie, 1974 : naissance d'un groupe baptisé IL CHERCHIO D' ORO...Ils ont cherché longtemps car hormis quelques 45t, il leur faudra attendre les années 2000 pour publier enfin leurs premiers albums pour le plus grand plaisir de nos oreilles impatientes ! Extrait ici de l'excellent "Pangea E Le Tre Lune" paru en 2023 : la classe du rock progressif italien aux accents de sons classiques et baroques... 20 ans auparavant, les suédois ANEKDOTEN sortaient "Gravity", pour les amateurs d'un néo-prog atypique, avec cordes et mellotron, quelque peu post-rock et très agréable au passage dans vos cages à miel ! Outre-atlantique, le duo brésilien FLEESH est réputé pour leurs savoureuses et délicates versions de pépites du rock progressif, alternant avec de belles productions d'albums personnels. Mais c'est en mode "cover" qu'on les retrouve ici avec une magnifique et poignante interprétation de l'ultime album de PINK FLOYD avec Roger Waters  : "The Final Cut". Issu de leur premier opus justement intitulé "Versions" en 2003.  Vous le savez tout à démarré dans LA décennie 70's ! Illustration avec le génial FRANCK ZAPPA pour un album toutefois plus consensuel avec le marché mais toujours d'une grande originalité : "Over-Nite Sensation" en 1973. Même remarque d'ailleurs pour les GENTLE GIANT et leur excellent "The Missing Piece" en 1977, ici avec un coup de jeune puisqu'en version remixée par un certain Steven Wilson... Enfin, un an plus tard le supergroupe U.K. réunissait quatre pointures (membres de Soft Machine, Curved Air, Roxy Music, Yes ou encore et King Crimson, excusez du peu !!) Résultat : un album éponyme visant à proposer une musique (ici encore) plus accessible et une belle carte de visite pour toutes ses musiques qui font le bonheur d'Amarok chaque jeudi soir sur les antennes de SUN !      Page Facebook de l'émission : AMAROK44

Reaction Pod Crew - to the DeLorean!Andy & Matt race back to the present from 1997 and pick up Joe along the way so that they can give their combined initial reactions to this latest Hawkwind release. NOTE: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album several listens before jumping on a Zoom call very early the day after the album dropped and then handed over to Matt to madly edit this together so we can drop it as soon as possible, so it may sound a little rougher than usual.

This week is the seventh volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of smoke, and join your favorite rock n' roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n' Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal. What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1976. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.Songs this week include:Agnes Strange - “Messin' Around” from Strange Flavour (1975)Socrates Drank The Conium - “Death Is Going To Die” from On The Wings (1973)Piraña - “Thinking Of You” from Pirana II (1972)Zior - “I Really Do” from Zior (1971)November - “Ganska Långt Från Sergel” from 2:a November (1971)The Power Of Zeus - “It Couldn't Be Me” from The Gospel According To Zeus (1970)Wicked Lester - “She” from Wicked Lester (1972)El Ritual documentary in Spanish on YouTube from 2022 https://youtu.be/K1xz6R9nH3k?si=Gd6I90SC19ZkOLWmPlease subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

The Hawkbinge journey through Hawkwind releases from the 90's continues with 1997'a Distant Horizons, an album about which almost nothing good is ever said. Fans don't like it, the buying public of 1997 didn't like it, reviewers don't like it, even the band themselves beat this one up with pretty much every reference. Will Matt & Andy find any rays of light in the darkness? Find out, as Matt gives his take on an album he'd never heard of before late last year, and Andy gives his insights into the album that he completely failed to connect with when he first heard it about 15 years ago. Grab your sandwich of steel and your thermos of oil for two hours of Distant Horizons chat...Along with all that, Matt and Andy check out the artwork, look at the musical world of 1997 and chat about the other music they've been listening to since the release of the Alien 4 episode. And Matt puts his picks from Distant Horizons alongside these tracks into a Hawkbinge Sessions playlist for future release.The boutique Hawkbinge t-shirt collection from Skull Print is hereAll Hawkbinge proceeds will be donated to The British Bee Charity

Worst Collection Ever is proud to participate in this celebration of JSA content by delivering our wicked takes on Geoff Johns's “Black Reign” saga!This issue plays out more like the first act of a promsing action flick, with Black Adam recruiting a crew of disenchanted, mayhem-seeking folks to help him liberate his home country of Kahndaq. We got the assassin Nemesis, a tatted-up Eclipso, a freshly-mutated Northwind, a conflicted Atom Smasher and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park aka Brainwave aka Robert Englund from the V mini-series. The scene gets bloody and emotional and there are cooling brains all over the place.We also spend a bit of time parsing out Northwind's creation so, if you new to the podcast, put a fun movie on for the kids and then hide under a blanket while you listen to this.All this plus Jen and Shawn buy a bunch of cheap trades, new DC Absolute offerings and the Hawk Tuah Girl runs afoul of the Dark Knight![NOTE — we (or specifically Shawn) refers to Northwind a bunch as “Hawkwind.” Hawkwind was a band that Lemmy was in before Motörhead - we are aware of this.

Så går den hårde rocktur tilbage til 1972, som bød på både stener rock og tunge spidsfindigheder fra Black Sabbbath, signatursange fra Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Thin Lizzy og Alice Cooper, og et par drengedrømmedrøn fra Status Quo og Slade. Vores faste gæste duo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen, fortsætter topformen. Nedslagspunkter: - Black Sabbath laver tung stener rock på "Vol. 4". Det fjerde mesterværk ud af fire mulige. - Deep Purple laver fede numre på "Machine Head", men de lyder bare bedre på "Made In Japan", mener Steffen. - "Smoke on the Water". Hvad er det nu med dét riff? Michael Stützer forklarer. - Dobbelt op med det bedste Uriah Heep. - Vi hører danske beton rock toner fra både Horsens og Skive. - Vi kommer omkring Lemmy i Hawkwind, Dio i Elf og Marc Bolan i T-Rex. - Blue Öyster Cult, Thin Lizzy og Nazareth er også med. - Status Quo og Slade tænder drengedrømme hos både Steffen og Michael. - Vi takker af med Alice Coopers absolutte signatursang. God lytte-tur tilbage til 1972, og vi høres ved i det næste afsnit fra 1973, som udsendes om under to uger! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Le tant attendu "Overview" de STEVEN WILSON est donc arrivé ! Cet album est un excellent opus progressif jusque dans son format qui rappelle les 70's avec juste deux parties de près de 20 minutes chacune. Les plateformes proposent un "découpage" par séquence courtes , c'est pratique pour vous en faire un aperçu mais clairement, il mérite une écoute immersive et même plusieurs pour se révéler, contrairement à son prédécesseur "The Harmony Codex", plus facile d'accès. Cette vision de la Terre depuis l'espace (concept de ce nouvel album) est hautement recommandée par votre serviteur  ! Puisqu'on est dans l'ambiance 70's, restons-y, même s'il s'agit encore d'une production récente, avec le NICK MASON 'S SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS, projet qui a germé dans la tête du guitariste Lee Harris et proposé au batteur du mythique PINK FLOYD en 2018. Quelques dates et deux ans plus tard, l'album "Live At The Roundhouse" a été pour moi l'une des meilleures surprises de l'année 2020 avec l'interprétation enthousiaste du groupe réuni autour de Nick pour interpréter les "oubliés" des concerts contemporains du Floyd ou de ses membres, tous pré-période Dark Side Of The Moon"...Bienvenue en Psychédélie !  A peine plus jeune (pour ne pas dire moins vieux

Gang Of Four's moment was dramatic but brief. It was littered with times when the future seemed impossibly bright before disaster crept up with a cosh in their relentless “refusal to do the obvious”. Being a musician, he points out, is a ridiculous life best not taken seriously. His memoir ‘To Hell With Poverty!' rightly describes itself as “rich with stories”, many remembered in this spirited exchange with David and Mark, among them … … the transformational effect of a scholarship to the boarding school where he met GO4 guitarist Andy Gill and future film-makers Adam Curtis and Paul Greengrass. … life-changing records he heard in the school art department – Highway 61 Revisited, the Stooges, the MC5. … “never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity”. … aged 11, bumping into John Lennon in Sevenoaks who'd just bought his Mr Kite poster. … signing a contract with the manager that robbed them and whose busy and efficient office of “ripped and buffed” staff turned out to be hired actors. … being thrown off Top Of The Pops for not changing an ‘offensive' song lyric – “EMI were “mortified”. … the old hippy world of the ‘70s – Hawkwind, the Whole Earth Catalog and “a Withnailesque flat where we had an airgun to shoot the mice”. … hopeless online misinterpretations of his song lyrics - “there may be soil under fuck all” (aka “there may be oil under Rockall”). … the rigours of trying to promote “outsider music”. … reaching “the point where the game is up”. … the Bourgeois Brothers, the ‘comedy' duo he formed with Andy Gill at Leeds University and why they returned to England to form a band in the mould of Talking Heads, the Ramones and Richard Hell. … and why recording the audiobook moved him to tears. Order ‘To Hell With Poverty!' here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hell-Poverty-Class-Inside-Gang/dp/1636142346 Gang Of Four tour dates:https://www.songkick.com/artists/393675-gang-of-four/calendarFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel. In this episode, Jon reflects on his experiences and the evolving landscape of automotive safety. He delves into the presentation by the airbag manufacturer Autoliv, exploring the company's innovations and their impact on global car safety.

HAWKBINGE RETURNS with a monster of an episode: so much Hawkwind news to catch up, the big release from 1995 to dissect and the big bonus of a chat with our good friend Joe Banks about his most excellent new Hawkwind book “Sideways Through Time”. Prepare to abducted by the Hawkbinge podcast and not returned to reality for several hours…So, we're still in 1995 for Hawkwind's second release of that year, “Alien 4”. Some new faces in the mix for an album based largely around the concept of alien abduction. We check out the first appearances for both Ron Tree and Jerry Richards, deep dive into  this maybe-kinda-concept album, ponder who the aliens really are and finish up with some Space Sex. No, really. As ever, we also look back at the music scene in the latter part of 1995, check out the state of the band at the time and explore the album art, while also adding tracks to the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Vol 7 playlist on Spotify from albums we've been listening to in between our respective alien abductions.And finally… a visit to the pod from Joe for a chat about his new book provides a most excellent way to kick off our 2025 episodes.

He has worked as an editor and is also a successful musician. He is best known for his novels about the character Elric of Melniboné, which were a seminal influence on the field of fantasy in the 1960s and 1970s.As editor of the British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States, leading to the advent of cyberpunk. His publication of Bug Jack Barron (1969) by Norman Spinrad as a serial novel was notorious; in Parliament, some British MPs condemned the Arts Council of Great Britain for funding the magazine.[4] In 2008, The Times named Moorcock in its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Moorcock is also a recording musician; he has contributed to the music acts Hawkwind, Blue Öyster Cult, Robert Calvert and Spirits Burning, and to his own project, Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix. “Monsters, Madness and Magic Official Website.

Thirsty Forest Animals [00:25] "Nape" Southeast of Saturn: Michigan Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-629 2020 All of this, yes. When I lived in NYC in the 90s, so many of my friends were from Michigan that it's amazing some stayed around to develop these sounds. Fauna [05:26] "To Ecstasy" Southeast of Saturn, Vol. 2: Midwest Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-750 2022 I also knew a lot of folks from Minneapolis, where Fauna hail from. This track is from their 1992 release Everafter. Glen Campbell [09:23] "Southern Nights" Southern Nights Capitol SO-11601 1977 Glen takes an excellent turn with Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" (https://youtu.be/mCscZ2tPFmI?si=0lfs02BFzVpS3aIf) originally recorded in 1975. Glen heard that version and was reminded of his childhood in Arkansas. This single made it to number 1 on the charts, and the album made it as high as 22 on the Billboard 200. You can see Glen playing one of his weirdo Ovation electric 12-strings here on The Midnight Special (https://youtu.be/A8VgyiMAJ9k?si=qdJzW9C6zMMHfQ70). Hawkwind [12:24] "Sonic Attack" Space Ritual United Artists Records UA-LA120-H2 1973 Epically epic space jams with interspersed spoken words as exampled here with "Sonic Attack" written by Michael Moorcock and recited by James Calvert. The sleeve art by Barney Bubbles is a thing of majesty. If space jams are your thing and you've never heard this album, seek it out. Amazingly, this album briefly dented the Billboard 200, making it to number 179. The album jacket is quite a work of art. If you'd like to see the full artwork, join me over on Patreon for video liner notes (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill). Depeche Mode [17:24] "Dreaming of Me" Speak & Spell Sire SRK 3642 1981 What a difference a decade makes (as compared to Hawkwind)? The debut album by the boys from Basildon, and the only one recorded with Vince Clark (before he moved on to Yaz and subsequently Erasure). This album also just cracked the Billboard 200 here in the US, making it to number 192. This single did actually make it into the US Billboard dance charts, going as high as 47. The English Beat [21:01] "Sooner or Later" Special Beat Service I.R.S. Records SP 75069 1982 (1987 reissue) Everyday someone is born who has never heard "Sooner or Later". Perhaps you are one of those people who has never heard "Sooner or Later". If so, enjoy! This guitar sounds (and this video (https://youtu.be/c-7lBq0zuSM?si=18igG60AbOt239Kf)) have been permentantly etched into my musical brain thanks to the early days of MTV. John Zorn [24:36] "Hico Killer - Long Mile to Houston" Spillane Elektra Nonesuch 9-79172-1 1987 Gritty road story from master blues musician Albert Collins, tinged with Zorn & Co's trademark oddballness. Con Funk Shun [29:19] "Juicy" Spirit of Love Mercury SRM-13806 1980 The Bay Area's very own Con Funk Shun. If you've got a funk/soul album with a track called "Juicy" you know you've got to listen to it. Or at least, I do. Written by the band's guitarist and vocalist Michael Vernon Cooper. The Wonderland Singers [34:07] "Bats in the Belfry" Spooky Halloween Wonderland Records LP-293 1974 They just don't make organ music like they used to, and probably for good reason. At least the cover art is cool. Ustalost [35:20] "III" The Spoor of Vipers Gilead Media RELIC82 2017 Some blackened heaviness from this solo project by Will Skarstad of Yellow Eyes. For those of you who appreciate this style of music, seek out A Wandering Path: The Story of Gilead Media (https://youtu.be/gTZ1HcDtW-U?si=_ann3_mOUWXm2pCq) on a streaming service near you. Missing Persons [40:49] "Bad Streets" Spring Session M Capitol Records ST-12228 1982 This album made a strong impression on my when it came out and I still find myself thinking about it. For this episode's selection, I took a look at the track listings and immediately heard this song in my head. The album made it to number 42 on the Hot 100 and generated 4 singles: "Words (https://youtu.be/IasCZL072fQ?si=VO4X1DpThnxhHYup)", "Desitnation Unknown (https://youtu.be/1WDly1Oc_P4?si=5j2wgoC34DdwEtoU)", "Windows (https://youtu.be/v0vdk3YOvMM?si=31AgmgVzkx6cUeou)", and "Walking in L.A. (https://youtu.be/80WyBxo0Hto?si=DjM4k640jKUOTkhV)". Graham Parker and the Rumour [44:30] "Local Girls" Squeezing Out the Sparks Arista AB 4223 1979 Another heavy rotation video (https://youtu.be/taXvBivGcMo?si=wUPJk-7GLYH8XtUu) from the early days of MTV, despite being made in 1979. The album attempts to explore English suburbia. The album cover features some great typography by Gerard Huerta. Amazing Rhythm Aces [49:48] "Third Rate Romance" Stacked Deck ABC Records ABCD-913 1975 Some fun country-inflected rock from these Memphis gents, sounding almost perfectly mid-70s in a good way. The album reached 11 on the country charts and 120 on the Billboard 200. This single also hit 11 on the country charts and 14 on the pop chart. The band even made an appearance on the second season of Austic City Limits (https://youtu.be/pLz6nIvqB2c?si=nFcMK2tAEEfFjI8n). Love Barry "Byrd" Burton's finger pickin on this. Sly and the Family Stone [53:11] "You Can Make It if You Try" Stand! Epic BN 26456 1969 The mighty Sly Stone and family take a funky turn at this song originally recorded by Gene Allison (https://youtu.be/xiPI7d1y2Co?si=bo1XG2515eGJoYnn) and also covered by the Rolling Stones (https://youtu.be/jz4VO_NiY24?si=1OhUnqa0lAa5JEwM). Fans of Primal Scream will also recognize the tail end of the track that precedes this album closer. Jacksons [56:49] "Blame It on the Boogie" Star Fire Ronco R 3200 1980 As seen on TV! 18 original hits by 18 original artists! A compilation of hits, mostly from 1979. In honor of the late Tito Jackson, I had to go with this uptempo Jacksons single from 1978. Wet Willie [01:00:00] "Keep on Smilin'" Star Trackin' '76 Ronco R 1976-2 1976 As seen on TV! 20 original hits by 20 original artists! While 8 year old me would have been extremely excited about the "Theme from S.W.A.T.", I decided to go with Mobile AL's own Wet Willie. I could have also gone with Abba's "Waterloo" but loyal listeners already know how much I love Abba. Music behind the DJ: "Charade" by Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra

Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of smoke, and join your favorite rock n' roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n' Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal. What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1976. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.Songs this week include:El Ritual - “Mujer Facil - Prostituda” from El Ritual (1971)Fury- “Flying” from Sonny Vincent – Primitive 1969-1976 (1972)P2O5 - “All Right” from P2O5 (1976)Atomic Rooster - “Save Me” from Nice ‘N' Greasy (1973)Yesterday's Children - “Paranoia” from Yesterday's Children (1970)Warpig - “Rock Star” from Warpig (1973)Sudden Death - “My Time Is Over” from Suddenly (1972)El Ritual documentary in Spanish on YouTube from 2022 https://youtu.be/K1xz6R9nH3k?si=Gd6I90SC19ZkOLWmPlease subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

In this patrons-only episode Jeremy dons his leather jacket to conclude our history of the early days of heavy metal. We hear about how the convergence of space rock, biker gangs, and the fantasy aesthetics of writer Michael Moorcock created an deeply abiding metal culture that would contribute massively to the second half of the Twentieth Century and beyond. Jeremy discusses the success of Warhammer, makes the case for rock opera, argues for the cultural significance of the Lord of the Rings and even has time to unpack metal masculinity, with reference to bands including Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind, Judas Priest and Deep Purple. Rock on! Produced by Matt Huxley.

What the Riff?!?
1986 - January: Michael McDonald "Sweet Freedom"

What the Riff?!?

We've made a few jokes in past episodes about Michael McDonald popping up in unexpected places.  It's an easy joke to make, because McDonald has a distinctive voice and has worked with a lot of artists covering numerous genres.  But the man is talented - both vocally and on the keyboards - and his career has put him at the forefront of rock music for a long time.Sweet Freedom is a compilation album that explores McDonald's work from his first two albums plus a number of collaborations.  The album title is taken from the track he had recently completed for the motion picture soundtrack “Running Scared,” a buddy cop comedy starring Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.After a troubled youth, McDonald began his music career in earnest as a vocalist and keyboardist for Steely Dan.  After that he was tapped as keyboardist and vocalist for The Doobie Brothers, a position which would eventually lead to his fronting the band and turning it in a more soulful direction.  In 1982 he started a solo career which would combine a soft rock style with his signature “blue eyed soul” sensibilities.Lynch is examining this “greatest hits” album with an eye towards some of the collaborations that have involved Michael McDonald, many of which are signature anthems and ballads of the early 80's soulful catalog that will eventually become known as yacht rock.We hope you enjoy this weeks podcast! Sweet FreedomRod Temperton, known for his work with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones, composed this single.  It is a bit of a departure from McDonald's typical style with its upbeat melody and horns.  It went to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and of course became the title track for this compilation album.Yah Mo B ThereThis song is a collaboration with the late James Ingram which peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Co-written and produced by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton, the song was originally a more contemporary Christian song with the title "Yahweh Be There."  Ingram suggested the title change, opening up the lyrics to more ambiguity to fit a wider audience.On My OwnA number 1 song from the Billboard charts in the US, this track finds McDonald paired with Patti LaBelle on a breakup duet.  Interestingly, the two recorded their tracks completely separately, and did not actually meet until they performed the song together on The Tonight Show in 1986.I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)This song peaked at number 4, and was McDonald's first success as a solo artist.  It was a cover originally sung by Chuck Jackson in 1962.  McDonald's version features his sister Maureen providing backup vocals, adding familial harmony to the mix. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme to the television game show “Card Sharks”This game show originally ran on NBC from 1978 to 1981, and returned for a second iteration to CBS in 1986. STAFF PICKS:Too Late by AsiaRob leads off the staff picks this week with a track from Asia's third album, “Astra.”  John Wetton returned to the group after a brief separation in late 1983 when he was replaced by Greg Lake for tour dates.  Steve Howe is replaced by Mandy Meyer for this third Asia album.Goodbye by Night RangerBruce brings us the last top 40 hit (to date) by Night Ranger.  Drummer Kelly Keagy takes lead vocals on this Brian Blades-composed power ballad written after losing his brother to a drug overdose.  “It's hard living life on this memory go-round.”Walk Like An Egyptian by The BanglesWayne's staff pick is the best known song by the group.  Songwriter Liam Sternberg took inspiration for this song from a rough trip across the English Channel, when his fellow passengers were walking carefully with their arms outstretched due to the choppy waters.  It would become a number 1 single, and Billboard's number 1 song in 1987.These Dreams by HeartLynch closes out the staff picks with as song that emerged from a collaboration between Bernie Taupin and Martin Page.  Taupin originally envisioned it as a song for Stevie Nicks, but after she turned it down, the song was restructured for Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart.  Nancy Wilson takes lead on this song dedicated to her friend Sharon Hess, who had lost her battle with leukemia. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Shade Gate by HawkwindThis instrumental appears on Hawkwind's fourteeneth studio album, which was inspired by the works of fantasy novelist Michael Moorcock.

1975 - July: Outlaws “The Outlaws”

What the Riff?!?

The Outlaws had a long history as a band prior to the release of this debut album.  Formed originally in 1967 in Tampa, Florida, the original name for the group was "The Four Letter Words."  They toured off and on through the early 70's, and made an aborted attempt at an album the late 60's.  Finally, they were signed by Clive Davis and Arista Records while opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Ronnie Van Zant told Davis and future Outlaws manager Charlie Brusco, "If you don't sign Outlaws, you're the dumbest music person I've ever met - and I know you're not."The debut and eponymously named album Outlaws would blend Southern rock with Country and hard rock, and would create a great concert draw for the band.  Their use of three guitars would come to be known as "the Florida Guitar Army."  Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones both provided lead guitar and vocals, and Henry Paul would provide further electric and acoustic guitar as well as vocals.  Monte Yoho on drums and Frank O'Keefe on bass would round out the group.While there's definitely a Southern Rock feel to the Outlaws, there is also a lot of Country and even bluegrass mixed in.  The technical chops are impressive, and there is a lot of harmony employed in the group as well.  The album would peak at number 13 on the Billboard Top LP's & Tape chart.Wayne takes us through this guitar-driven Southern Rock album for this week's podcast. WaterholeThis instrumental song leads off side two of the album, and has a bluegrass feel.   It is the opening track to side two of the album.There Goes Another Love SongThe hit single on the album also is the leading track.  It peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100, and features Hughie Thomasson on lead vocals.  The lyrics depict a guy on the road who is missing his faraway love, and seems to encounter love songs one after another.Song for YouThis may appear to be an instrumental at first because of the long intro before the vocals come in.  The lyrics reflect a guy who is breaking a girl's heart, but can't seem to avoid doing so.  There are some great harmonies in this track.Green Grass and High TidesThe last song on the album is a true epic.  The album version is almost 10 minutes long, but has been stretched to 30-minute versions in concert jams.  Hughie Thomasson conceived the album while at a beach cookout and imagining all the rock greats who had passed on rising from the grave to play a show.  The name comes from a Rolling Stones' "Best of" album title.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture “The Apple Dumpling Gang”Walt Disney Productions put out this comedy western about a gambler tricked into taking care of a group of orphans.  Bill Bixby, Don Knotts, and Tim Conway star in this movie.  STAFF PICKS:One of These Nights by the EaglesLynch starts off the staff picks with a song penned by the duo of Glenn Frey and Don Henley.  It became the second number 1 single for the group in the US, behind "Best of My Love."  This track takes inspiration from soul music like Al Green and B.B. King, and has been described as an anthem for procrastinators and dreamers.  Blue Sky by Joan BaezRob profiles a cover song originally performed by the Allman Brothers on their 1972 album, "Eat a Peach."  Originally written by Dickey Betts about his girlfriend Sandy "Bluesky" Wabegijig, Baez covers this on her 1975 album "Diamonds & Rust."  If it sounds familiar to you, Baez is actually backed up by the Allman Brothers Band for this single.Landslide by Fleetwood MacBruce features a song written by Stevie Nicks at a time when she was considering whether to continue to pursue life as a musician or give up her dream and go back to school.  Despite its popularity today, the song was not originally released as a single until the live version from "The Dance" in 1997.Motorhead by HawkwindWayne closes out the staff picks  with a B-side from the prog rock group Hawkwind written by bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister while he was with the group.  Lemmy was fired from the band one day before the album's release, but would go on to fame in the band Motorhead. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Journey of the Sorcerer by the EaglesA rare instrumental from the Eagles takes us out this week.
