This episode features MN music stalwart Randy Casey along with Nate Westgor (aka 'Willie' of Willies American Guitars). They both joined to talk about a great show coming up this weekend. Sunday night (6/15) at The Parkway Theater in South Minneapolis it's a special Father's Day celebration of the legendary Joey Molland of Badfinger. We hear some great stories about Joey and hear all about the wicked all-star lineup of featured musicians playing this event. Enjoy!
Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Just because you're successful doesn't mean everyone likes you. In fact, success can often draw criticisms that might not be given to other performers. In Australia, we call that the “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, where people look for reasons to bring successful people down! We look at some criticisms (not by us - mainly!), of highly successful artists and try to find a reason for them. This month seems to have a host of rock star deaths! In Knockin' on Heaven's Door, we mourn the passing of David Lynn Thomas of post-punk group Pere Ubu; Drew Zingg, an American blues and soul guitarist, best known for work with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs; Joey Molland from Badfinger, and Richard Chamberlain, of Dr Kildare, Shōgun & The Thorn Birds. Our “Album You Must Hear before You Die” is Bob Marley and the Wailers' “Catch a Fire”, a landmark album that established reggae as a musical force, influencing such artists as The Clash, The Police, UB40 and Eric Clapton.

Beatle proteges Badfinger were an Apple band that simultaneously produced some of the finest pop/rock of their era while beset by management malfeasance leading directly to their decimation by suicide. It was fifty years ago that Pete Ham, their songwriter responsible for “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and co-writer with Tommy Evans of “Without You” took his life at 27. Only a few months before, he and the band recorded one final album (at Apple Studios), Head First. Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Bob Jackson, the group's newest addition, was fully on board with the project, which went unreleased at the time but through his determination, was tracked down and fully realized in late 2024. In this conversation, Bob discusses his tenure in the band alongside Pete, Tommy, Mike Gibbins and the late Joey Molland, as well as his work with them through the years that followed as well as the lasting impact of the two tragedies.

Afgelopen weekoverleed Joey Molland, de gitarist van Badfinger. Met zijn heengaan is er geen lid meer over van de band. Badfinger had een heel grote band geweest kunnen zijn. De band schreef geweldige liedjes, maar werd achtervolgd door pech en ongeluk en had een crimineel als manager die de kluit op een monstrueuze manier belazerde. Pete Ham en Tom Evans van die groep schreven monsterhit 'Without You', nummer 1 voor Harry Nilsson en later Mariah Carey. Normaal genoeg voor een rustige oude dag, maar die was Ham en Evans niet gegund. Dit is het trieste verhaal van Badfinger.

Rod Stewart et Jack White ont réagi au clash Zelenski / Trump en soulignant leur soutien aux Ukrainiens. Attendu sur la scène, mais fidèle à lui-même, le légendaire chanteur Bob Dylan a snobé la cérémonie des Oscars 2025. The Cure, l'un des grands favoris des BRIT Awards 2025, avec trois nominations majeures : Meilleur Groupe, Meilleur Acte Rock/Alternatif et Album de l'Année pour Songs of A Lost World, est reparti les mains vides, déclenchant une vague de frustration chez ses fans. Joey Molland, l'ultime survivant du line-up classique de Badfinger et ami des Beatles, est décédé ce samedi 1er mars à l'âge de 77 ans. R.E.M. avait promis qu'ils ne rejoueraient plus jamais ensemble, pourtant Michael Stipe et sa bande ont brisé leur serment le temps d'un instant magique lors d'une première véritable réunion scénique, après plus de 15 ans, en rejoignant Michael Shannon et Jason Narducy sur scène au 40 Watt Club d'Athens, en Géorgie.

After a news segment (Julian, Joey Molland, Ringo and Paul!), Marv and I sit down for part one of our look back at some of the happenings in the Beatles world over the last twelve months. New music in the form of an EP from Ringo, an anniversary release from Paul for "Band on the Run", a brand new mix for "One Hand Clapping" and more!
The return of friend of the show Darin Murphy (a man who portrayed John Lennon on Broadway, and played with Denny Laine, Todd Rundgren, Joey Molland, Micky Dolenz and more!) He pojoins us to discuss Disc Five of the Mind Games Box, the raw studio mixes. Sean gives us plenty of material to consider, and we discuss how this album would influence artists as diverse as Meat Loaf, Tom Petty and possibly the Beats headphones!
Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Paul Chastain co-founded Velvet Crush rock group. Signed by Alan McGee to his mythic British indie label Creation Records who gave the band's first and second albums, the latter, the seminal “Teenage Symphonies To God”, worldwide release. Paul's musical arc also includes path crossings with a handful of top-notch talent. He has been playing and singing alongside pal Matthew Sweet from the pre-”Girlfriend” days onward. Run-ins along the way with such pop music icons and ne'er-do-wells as Roger McGuinn, Mitch Easter, Susanna Hoffs, Stephen Duffy, Tommy Keene, Ami Onuki (Puffy Ami/Yumi). Drummer/producer John Louis Richardson has similar roots, brushes with greatness and dubious associations. Among them, Joey Molland's Badfinger, Tommy Keene, Gin Blossoms, Keene Brothers, Jay Bennett, Will Hoge. He still plays live and records with DIY power pop pioneers and long time friends, Shoes. John runs his Drum Farm Studio in Menomonie, Wisconsin. A major through-line for the album Ours & amp; Life-events shaped others due to the passing of longtime mutual friend and bandmate Tommy Keene. As an inspirational figure who opened for The Matthew Sweet band, toured with Velvet Crush, and played in Richardson's band, the impact of his loss was significant. This led to the inclusion of Keene's song “Baby Face” on the album, as well as aiding in the completion of the track “Can't Let Go (Oh Tommy)”.

Jason Scheff Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Rock Star! Jason Scheff's got the chops, the voice, the lineage, the career, and the hair! And I'm not sure he could be a more lovely, gracious, humble guy. As if thirty years with Chicago weren't enough, Jason takes us through that experience from the rumors, the auditions, the close race, getting it, the faux pax, righting it big time, the glories of it, the joys, to why he left three decades later. We started with his dad, the iconic bassist, Jerry Scheff, who's played with countless legends and is one himself. Jason told amazing stories about Jerry and the Fifth Dimension, Elvis, and The Doors. Mind-blowing, and fantastic! He spoke of some of his other champions and heroes, his mother, a singer, who made him a pro at 16, Elton John, Bobby Caldwell, Robert Lamm, getting sober, Bill Champlin, David Foster, Tamara Champlin, the all-stars Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Micky Dolenz, and Joey Molland with whom he performed The Beatles White Album, my lord, do I want to see the replay of that! Generation Radio (I butchered that) the supergroup Jason put together with Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, with Deen Castronovo of Journey, who returned there, now replaced by superstar drummer Steve Ferrone. Jason spoke of his love and devotion to his beloved Tracy and their kids, the hardships and losses they've endured and weathered together, and they're great like for each other. Having just had the great good fortune to see Jason perform at Summerfest and then meet his bride, I got to witness this rockstar in action and then bear witness to what a fabulous couple they are. Jason and I talked for well over two hours and it felt like a minute. What a great, great, time, and… he sang… just a little, but still! I loved every moment and can't wait to hear about the next chapters, and hear and see them performed, as well.

Hailed as the new Beatles but "mismanaged and exploited beyond the bounds of human decency" Badfinger's thankless career drove two members to take their own lives. Badfinger could have been huge. What's more, the band's connections with The Beatles once earned them the tag of ‘the new Fab Four'. But instead, despite writing and recording some wonderfully memorable music, Badfinger went down in the annals of rock history for all the wrong reasons. Most people who remember the band today will probably point to the fact that two key members took their own lives. The story of Badfinger is probably one of the most tragic in rock'n'roll. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong – twice– while their occasional triumphs over adversity never seemed to bring them their rightful reward. When Harry Nilsson first heard Without You (his future worldwide No.1 hit single), written by Badfinger's Pete Ham and Tom Evans, he assumed it was a Beatles song. It was an understandable mistake, given that Paul McCartney had taken the band under his wing, signed them to The Beatles' Apple label, and even written a hit for them in Come And Get It. Badfinger also backed George Harrison on his Bangladesh concerts. But their connection with The Beatles would become a double-edged sword. My special guest this week is singer, songwriter and guitarist JOEY MOLLAND - Badfinger's sole surviving member. During our chat, Joey discusses his life and career in the music industry. He talks about his early days in Liverpool, where he was part of a tight-knit musical community that included some of the most famous bands of the time, such as The Beatles and The Searchers. He talked about his experiences playing in various bands and making records, including joining The Ivey's, which later became Badfinger. Joey talks about the success of Badfinger in America, particularly their hit song 'Come and Get It', which was written by Paul McCartney. He also discusses the band's formation and later successes with songs such as No Matter What and Day After Day. However, despite the band's success, Joey walks us through the struggles the band faced with management and financial ruin. He still believes that "whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Today Joey Molland continues to perform under the name Joey Molland's Badfinger and is proud of the band's legacy of hits. He chats about his latest solo album, 'Be True to Yourself', which features collaborations with notable musicians such as Mark Hudson, a Grammy-winning producer who has worked with bands like Aerosmith and Rainbow. The album also features contributions from his friends Julian Lennon and The Monkees' Micky Dolenz. "Be True to Yourself," is Joey Molland's sixth solo album and the first in seven years. It definitely has echoes of John, Paul, George and sometimes even Ringo.

Se estima que Badfinger han vendido más de catorce millones de discos y, sin embargo, sus miembros siguieron compartiendo piso porque no llegaban a final de mes. Hoy, la banda maldita por excelencia, son los grandes protagonistas de 'El Rock&Roll Ha Muerto.Badfinger surgió en Swansea (Gales) a principios de los años 60, cuando Pete Ham fue pasando de unas formaciones a otras hasta que terminó con la formación más emblemática del grupo: Pete Ham (voz, guitarra y teclados), Tom Evans (bajista), Joey Molland (teclados y voz) y Mike Gibbins (batería y percusión). Pero no solo trabajaron como banda, sino que, también, lo hicieron como músicos de sesión para los propios beatles (bueno, para sus trabajos en solitario). Todos lo miembros de los beatles estaban fascinados con el talento y la creatividad de Badfinger; hasta el punto de ficharles para su propia discográfica: Apple Records.
Author Daniel Pink believes of all our emotions regret is the most misunderstood and it's the emotion that we can learn the most from. He gives us some suggestions on how to move past our regrets and live our best lives.
It's hard to discuss British rock band Badfinger and NOT focus on the tragic details of their too-short career. This week's guest, legendary Miami music maven Rich Ulloa (Yesterday & Today Records, Y&T Music), doesn't shy away from the dark parts, but much prefers to focus on the wonderful music these four lads from Swansea gifted the world. Their 1971 release 'Straight Up' is as fine an example of lush, meticulously recorded and thrillingly played power-pop as you're ever likely to find. Songs featured in this episode: Take It All (Live) - Badfinger; We Can Work It Out - The Beatles; Clowntime Is Over - Elvis Costello; This Broken Heart - The Mavericks; Flagboy - For Squirrels; Thirsty Boots - Bob Dylan; Perfection - Sweet Lizzy Project; Come And Get It, No Matter What, Apple Of My Eye, Take It All - Badfinger; Golden Slumbers - The Beatles; Maybe I'm Amazed (Live) - Paul McCartney and Wings; Baby Blue - Badfinger; Money - The Flying Lizards; Money, Flying, I'd Die Babe - Badfinger; No Matter What - Jellyfish; Name Of The Game - Badfinger; Time Has Come Today - The Chambers Brothers; Suitcase, Sweet Tuesday Morning, Day After Day - Badfinger; No More - Pete Ham; Sometimes - Badfinger; It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference - Todd Rundgren; Perfection, It's Over - Badfinger; Piano Red - Albert Castiglia Band (Featuring Mandy Marylane); No Matter What (World Version) - Stan Lynch; Eyesight To The Blind - Mose Allison; Name Of The Game - Amanda Green

Jon (remotely) and I are joined by Queen of All Beatles Media Kit O'Toole, Ken Womack, and an audience of tens at the Fest for Beatles fans to close out the podcast portion of the 2022 Chicago Fest. Our topic: Mal Evans in 1975. Mal appeared at the 1975 Fest (second on the bill to Sid Bernstein), worked on (and more or less completed) the draft of his book, produced Joey Molland's new band Natural Gas and appeared a couple of times on Cal State Northridge radio to start his promotional tour. (Recorded Sunday, August 14, 2:30 at the Fest for Beatles Fans, Chicago Illinois).
This week we catch up with JOAN ARMATRADING who recently celebrated her 70th birthday. Born in the West Indies, she's been singing up a storm for 50 years. 22 albums, countless music awards and several honours later she's still on fire. JOEY MOLLAND was the lead singer for the band BAD FINGER. Today he is its sole surviving member. Joey tells us all about the good times and the bad. Everyone knows JOHN OATES as one half of the best-selling duo of all time, HALL & OATES. Together with DARYL HALL whom he met while studying journalism at university, the pair have had 6 #1 hits, recorded 21 albums and sold more than 80 million records. John also works solo and was about to perform a live stream concert when I caught up with him. June, Bonnie, Ruth and Anita Pointer who were huge during the 70's and 80's as THE POINTER SISTERS. Unfortunately both June and Bonnie have since passed away. I caught up with Anita to hear the latest. Meet GORDON LIGHTFOOT - singer-songwriter and guitarist who's achieved huge worldwide success in folk-rock, and country music. At 81, he's still pumping out the music and touring today. After several months of trying, I managed to get Gordon on the other end of the phone line from his home in Toronto. Doo-Wop legend, DION DI MUCCI joins us too to tell us all about his latest music which includes friends, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen. What a charmer! Join me! "A Breath Of Fresh Air" with Sandy Kaye.

Sometimes, rock and roll dreams can get waylaid, subdued, or even killed by the signing of the line which is dotted. This episode would take 1,000 hours if we only include black artists from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. And '70s, '80s, and '90s. And '00s and '10s. So I just focused on the easy-hanging fruit that is the people who ALSO profited from the hard work of black musicians to make their palatable caucasian crafting. Adam VIII John Lennon "Roots" Commercial (1975) What a shitty, washed-out picture. This gives you the idea that Morris Levy just wanted to fuck with Lennon to pay him back for his hubris. Devout (at the time) fans of Lennon like me were perplexed when the last track on "Walls And Bridges" was a strangely shoddy cover of "Ya Ya" with Julian Lennon on drums. Little did we know that that was John Lennon "fulfilling a legal obligation". Just like a junkie would. I don't think anyone would think of Morris Levy as anything but a very sleazy anti-art leech, but that little joke was probably the last straw. "What the fuck is this washed-up hippy doing, and does he know what I can do to him?" Did this whole thing sour Lennon on recording more music, and did he sense his own waning desire to compete with McCartney and use this whole sorry escapade as a good excuse to spend some time in Japan? Lennon was as dishonest and immature as he was gifted, and we will never know for sure. The insert. Almost as insulting as "The Wedding Album". Marvin Gaye - Where Are We Going? (1972) I talk to you like you know at least something about popular music. If you don't, let me be the first to tell you that Marvin Gaye recorded an album AFTER "What's Going On" and BEFORE "Let's Get It On". "You're The Man" was intended as another socially conscious record like "What's Going On" (1971), but following the release of its lead single, the title track "You're The Man", [ed: and the lack of positive reaction to same] Gaye canceled its release. [ed: I like this record a lot.] This was in part due to the reception of the song, as well as the fact that Gaye's political views were different from those of Motown founder Berry Gordy. For these reasons, "You're The Man" was long considered a lost album. Marvin Gaye - You're The Man (Pts. I&II) (1972) Marvin Gaye - The World Is Rated X (1972) Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music (1975) Like The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, etc., some artists tend to benefit from revisionist history. No, "Metal Machine Music" is not a deep, thoughtful cry for help from a misunderstood genius. This was nothing but a big "fuck you" to RCA, which is sad to me because there were so many more talented, interesting, and profound artists than Lou Reed, struggling for royalties, swimming against the tide of record comp.....wait. Maybe he had a point. ...but it's STILL not as bad as "Having Fun On Stage With Elvis". Badfinger - Apple Of My Eye (1973) Lookie here. Badfinger - Get Away (1973) So you all know the struggles that Badfinger enjoyed with Stan Polley, who once managed one of my favorite singers, Lou Christie. But Badfinger also suffered under the weight of the lethargic promotion afforded them by The Beatles and Apple Records. This was THEIR Contractual Obligation album, and it's not bad at all. Guys that talented could never turn in a clunker. From Loudersound: (In 1973) Apple was in disarray, but Badfinger – by far the label’s most successful artists after The Beatles – had further cause for complaint. Their original contract, drawn up in the days when Apple was living up to its fair-minded (i.e. hippy) ideals, offered a generous artist royalty of 5 percent, with Apple also paying for all recording and promotion expenses. Now, with legendary US tough guy Allen Klein running the company, the band were being asked to not only take a reduced royalty rate but also to pay recording costs. George Harrison, for one, was devastated at the loss from the label of a group he held dear, and allegedly (and uncharacteristically) confronted Bill Collins [ed: their manager since 1966) and said: “You guys fucked us after we did all that work for you.” Collins retorted that they had been unable to speak to their former champion directly (an accusation that rings true with all the superstar retinue surrounding the former Beatle), let alone with the formidable Klein. In retrospect, Badfinger’s departure marked the beginning of the end of Apple as anything other than a ‘vanity’ label for John, Paul, George, and Ringo. But the inevitable payback was Apple issuing Ass (as the 1973 album ended up being rather unflatteringly called) as a spoiler three months ahead of the band’s debut for their new label. As it transpired, Ass would be the final non-Beatles album to appear on Apple (it reached No. 122 in the US). One track, Pete Ham’s Apple Of My Eye, was a genuinely fond farewell to their former paymasters, and he contributed only one other; much of the music was written by Joey Molland, which gave it a different feel. Al Steckler, the man who had given Badfinger ‘their’ gold disc in New York City, was later incredibly revealing to Stefan Granados, author of the invaluable Apple history Those Were The Days (Cherry Red Books) when he outlined the contract Badfinger signed with Warner Brothers. A band at the peak of their powers, with a track record of US success and the Beatles’ imprimatur, might have thought their next record deal would set them up for life. Not so. The advance, which looked good on paper, was $2 million for, Steckler told Granados: “something like six albums. After they signed, Bill Collins and Pete Ham told me what the advance was and I figured it out for them. When you deducted the cost of the albums they had to pay for, deducted Polley’s cut, and split the money between Collins and the four guys in the group, it came out to nothing… $60,000 apiece per album. They’d really thought they were millionaires. They looked at each other and realized that I was right and that it was too late to do anything about it. Peter had this horrible look on his face… it was the last time I saw him.” Badfinger - Timeless (1973) Bonzo Dog Band - King of Scurf (1971) Neil Innes wrote music for Monty Python and starred in "All You Need is Cash" with Eric idle. He was brilliant and he wrote songs that you know but don't know that it was him. I never liked this group, but as I mentioned in my show, they were in Magical Mystery Tour. These songs were recorded in 1971, a few years after they broke up. But the United Artists label pointed the Fickle Finger of Fate at the boys, and we have this. Bonzo Dog Band - The Strain (1971) Bonzo Dog Band - Bad Blood (1971) ELP - Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman (1978) The Mamas and the Papas - Blueberries For Breakfast (1971) Like the Bonzos, they were gently reminded by the bean-counters at Dunhill that there was some unfinished business. So they created this. Again, not that bad! The Mamas and the Papas - Lady Genevieve (1971) For a drug-addled, amoral daughter-fucker, John Phillips sure wrote a lot of songs about his wife. The Mamas and the Papas - Pacific Coast Highway (1971) The Mamas and the Papas - People Like Us (1971)

Joey Molland, the last remaining member of legendary classic rockers Badfinger chats about his new critically-acclaimed album
El gran actor Jeff Bridges, el nota del Gran Lebowsky, publica con su banda The Abiders una canción de tolerancia y unión escrita por un trío de compositores amigos de Nashville. Forest Ray son de Seattle y les gustan los espacios cubiertos por pinos, como a The Flat Five les gusta Chicago o a la ya desaparecida Sharon Jones el soul, a la que se le publica disco recopilatorio de versiones. Como versiones suyas son las nuevas canciones con aire bluegrass de Sturgill Simpson, el de Kentucky reivindica que sí es country, aunque sus últimos discos dijeran lo contrario. Fabulosa la última entrega de Jeremiah Johnson, combinando elementos del blues de St. Louis, el rock sureño y el country. También grande es el Uncivil War de la hija de Johnny, Shemekia Copeland que se divierte con ese el dinero te hace feo. Y como colofón, el gran Joey Molland, el último de Badfinger, con un disco perfecto de canciones bitelscas o powerpoperas, tú decides. - Bruce Springsteen, I'll See You In My Dreams- Nancy Wilson, The Rising- Jeff Bridges & The Abiders, My Welcome Mat - The Dude Abides (The Big Lebowsky)- Forest Ray, Black Pine - The Flat Five, This'll Be The Day- Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)- Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, How Long Do I Have To Wait For You?- Sturgill Simpson, Life Ain't Fair And The World Is Mean - Sturgill Simpson, Turtles All The Way Down - Jeremiah Johnson, Burn Down The Garden- Jeremiah Johnson, Unemployed Highly Annoyed- Shemekia Copeland, Money Makes You Ugly- Joey Molland, All I Do Is Cry- Joey Molland, This Time
In Episode 63, Badfinger’s Joey Molland talks to Mike Derrico about his new solo album Be True to Yourself. Molland is the lead guitarist and vocalist in the classic lineup of Badfinger that rose to the top of the pop charts in the late 1960s and early 70s with hits like “Come and Get It,” “Baby Blue,” “No Matter What,” and “Day After Day.” Molland has stayed musically active over the decades and discusses various records and periods in his career as well as various projects he has been involved with, including recording with George Harrison, John Lennon, Leon Russell, and Badfinger’s role in the Concert for Bangladesh. As a rock and roll podcast, Rock Under Fire makes it a point not to focus on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with that comes the reality that the show may not always appeal to everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music along with its even longer history leaves an extremely broad canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with each episode. So there is still always something for everyone. In past episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, Turn Me On Dead Man, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, Ticketmaster, Tom Petty, and most overrated and underrated artists.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, BADFINGER GUITARIST, SINGER AND SONGWRITER JOEY MOLLAND’S FIRST ALBUM OF NEW MATERIAL IN NEARLY 10 YEARS, IS DUE FROM OMNIVORE RECORDINGS ON OCTOBER 16. Album contains the singles “Rainy Day Man” and “Better Tomorrow”; produced by Mark Hudson (Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne) You can listen to the first two singles at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ir4qcqXLQRraLp8QYZkFo?si=pbp1K3ZoQj6kW7FJ7UWWvg The story of Badfinger is one of rock’s saddest and most tragic tales. But one thing is for certain: the group that practically invented “power pop” was abundantly filled with talent. To have three great songwriters in one band was reminiscent of the group’s original label founders, the Beatles. Badfinger’s singles are still regarded as pop gems some 50 years later: “Come and Get It,” “No Matter What,” “Day After Day,” and “Baby Blue.” Perhaps the most unheralded of the three in Badfinger was Liverpudlian guitarist Joey Molland. His songwriting talent started to blossom with the group’s finest album, 1971’s Straight Up. Molland contributed five songs to the group’s fourth platter including “I’d Die Babe,” “Sweet Tuesday Morning” and “Suitcase.” Joey continued to play and write as Badfinger motored through the ’70s recording and touring. But great albums like 1974’s Wish You Were Here were met with record company and personal mismanagement. And in 1975, the group’s leader, Pete Ham, tragically passed away. Molland eventually left the group, returned, and left again to launch his own solo career. He’s played in various groups and under the name Joey Molland’s Badfinger since 1983. His several solo albums won critical acclaim but nothing could have prepared us for his latest album. Omnivore Recordings is proud to announce the release of Be True to Yourself, a tour de force pop album by Molland co-written with producer Mark Hudson (producer of last year’s Losst And Founnd by Harry Nilsson, also on Omnivore). The album is filled with delicious pop hooks and features musical contributions from Joey’s friends (Julian Lennon, Micky Dolenz, Jason Scheff and Steve Holley). With front and back cover photography by Julian Lennon, this album is a veritable feast for the eyes and ears! So, sit back and “take it all” in from one of the genre’s progenitors ...

Episode #66 - Joey Molland from Badfinger! Joey calls in to promote his new album “Be True To Yourself” and talk about the legacy of Badfinger, the first band signed to the Beatles Apple Records.

On this episode of the “It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST”, the last surviving member of Badfinger, singer/guitarist Joey Molland, recounts his early years as a budding musician in Liverpool, to being in the first band signed to Apple Records, handpicked by The Beatles themselves. Additionally he details the tragic side of rock & roll, with the band losing their fortune to unscrupulous businessmen, inevitably driving two members to suicide. This week's co-host, former 94 WHJY disc jockey and host of “The Rock & Roll Roll Root Cellar” Jim Van, joins Don DiMuccio for a lively discussion of terrestrial rock radio, and Jim's recollections of concerts attended like The Stones, Led Zeppelin and Woodstock. ---------------------------------------------- To Pre-Order Joey Molland's new CD - http://smarturl.it/joeymolland Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ° Homepage – www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ° Facebook - facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/
Rhodes, un excelente músico pop que acaba de fallecer (fue llamado el McCartney americano) se retiró hace casi 40 años por las absurdas exigencias de la industria. Los Straitjackets versionan a los Beach Boys antes de que empiecen las hostilidades poperas con el Carnaval de Cupido y su pop bitelsco de la mitad de los 60. Gary Ritchie, que toca todos los instrumentos desde Austin, nos enseña una (buena) palabra de cuatro letras (amor). Los Speedways desde Londres y Pop Co Op, un probable supergrupo, atentos, siguen a la zaga. El grupo de tributo de los 60 los veteranos Overtures no pierden beat y Dave Kuchler hace una estupenda versión de Jackie DeShannon y que The Searchers llevaron al éxito en 1964. Los Foreign Films con sus gemas escondidas nos piden soñar con ellos. Soñemos con la nueva versión de Badfinger de su éxito de 1971 Baby Blue, con el único superviviente de la banda original, el cantante guitarrista Joey Molland acompañado por Matthew Sweet a las voces y las canciones de Nick Frater que saca proyecto de álbum en Instagram llamado @59vignettes. Nos vamos con Georgie Harrison y la radio del diablo, no precisamente esta que escuchas, que es la radio pública de los murcianos.

Lonnie Pena is back for awhile as well.
It's sort of a Halloween-themed show, but not really! Including: A concert report on super-cool garage pop band Bleached!

Another concert report on a Beatles tribute supergroup, with Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Badfinger's Joey Molland, Chicago's Jason Scheff, and Micky Dolenz! (Micky sang "Rocky Raccoon," and no one else is allowed to sing "Rocky Raccoon" anymore.) Kornflake hits the road again, does not find the Swan Boats, but does find coffee approved by the Godfather of Punk! We wish a Happy Birthday to one third of Wilson Phillips! A Halloween edition of the Pudding Pages leads to a discussion of something truly terrifying, the McRib! But nothing is more terrifying than the Top Ten songs this week in 1988! Seriously, it was 31 years ago, and we still wake up screaming...

Special Guest Joey Mollland of Badfinger
Joey Molland, the guitarist and sole surviving member of the British power-pop band Badfinger. BADFINGER became an incredible force of virtuoso musicians churning out hit after hit while being supported by the biggest band in the world. The band’s first album was the soundtrack to the movie The Magic Christian (Magic Christian Music). Their follow-up album, No Dice spawned the Pete Ham penned classic “No Matter What” (#8 U.S. Hot 100 Hit -1970) and an Evans/Ham composition “Without You” which became a #1 Hit in 1971 for Harry Nilsson and a #3 Hit for Mariah Carey in 1994. No Dice reached #28 on Billboard’s Hot 200 albums chart. The bands third album Straight Up was regarded by many to be their best. George Harrison had considerable input on the album including playing slide guitar on “Day After Day” (#4 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1971). Leon Russell played piano on the track. The album also generated the hit single "Baby Blue" (#14 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart in 1972). George Harrison left before the album was completed to work on The Concert for Bangladesh and Todd Rundgren was brought in to finish the album. Production credits were shared between Harrison and Rundgren. In more recent news, the popular TV show, Breaking Bad, finale ended with the Badfinger song, "Baby Blue".
