Eric Ambel's career got its start in "the first punk band in Wyoming" in the 70s. Imagine trying to launch a music career from Laramie! He eventually becomes the guitarist in the Blackhearts with Joan Jett, but opts not to sign on (the job went to recent guest Ricky Byrd) and goes on to form the Del-Lords with former Dictator guitarist Scott Kempner. They released four albums in the late 80s (two of them produced by Neil Giraldo) before calling it quits. From there Eric focuses more on his solo career, touring with other acts, and production work which has him collaborating with people like Steve Earle, Mojo Nixon, Ellen Foley, Nils Lofgren and a bunch more. "Roscoe" is still at it too and has a story to tell. Enjoy!  Eric Ambel The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Ricky Byrd's new song “Transistor Radio Childhood” stopped me in my tracks.

This second part of the monthly new release series probably should have been titled after the final song of the show. Former Blackhearts guitarist Ricky Byrd’s “RnR’s Demise (Has Been Greatly Exaggerated)” certainly matches the philosophy of The Ledge, and the fact that month after month we provide over four hours of newly issued tunes is certainly proof. Again, we have a number of “friends of the show”, including White Rose Motor Oil, New Brutarians, Geoff Palmer, and a whole set of tracks from Rum Bar Records. There’s also the return of The Memories, The Minus 5, and Throwing Muses, along with new bands (at least to us) such as The Roxies, Midlife Crisis, Dead Bars, and Creem Circus (love the name, btw).  Also, just a note that due to an upcoming medical procedure there will be now show next week (and possibly the following week).  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Rock 'N Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Byrd Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson Hanging out with Rock'N Roll Hall of Famer, Ricky Byrd, is like going home. Back to the days… when we were both in a daze. I was booking the Rock 'N Roll Café on Bleecker Street, Ricky was already a rockstar, center stage as lead guitarist with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, playing those iconic riffs in the fab MTV Music Video Days... when there were ashtrays on restaurant tables, and MTV played music videos. Just found a great pic of Ricky and Elliot Easton sitting in on our tiny stage in '87ish. All those years ago, and yet how fun to have seen Elliot play live last week with The Immediate Family and Zoom tonight with Ricky. One big difference, both Ricky and I are sober. 36 years for him, and the last many, being of service and giving back with his time, and his music. His current passion, partnering with AllSober.com to aid those struggling with addiction to gain inspiration from their sober heroes. He treated us to his Ain't Gonna Live Like That No More to punctuate the point. Ricky received the Drug-Free Heroes Award, presented by the Foundation For a Drug-Free World, The Faces and Voices 2019 Voice of Recovery Award, and the 2019 Italian American of Distinction Award, presented by Governor Cuomo, for his work in recovery. This Rockboy walks his talk. Old friends, it was an easy breezy walk down memory lane, littered with one-liners, and rim shots. Ricky may be a rocker but he's a Borscht Belt comic at heart. Fabulous stories about touring with Graham Parker, Roger Daltry, and Ian Hunter, the thrill of playing THAT riff from All the Young Dudes, having Simon Kirke of Bad Company behind him hitting those beats, backing Brian Wilson, sitting next to MeatLoaf watching his hero Jeff Beck, both of them weeping. We talked quite a bit about Beck, and Townshend, Eddie Van Halen, John Mayer, Albert King, the old days of the Filmore East, The Academy of Music, the Humble Pie, J Geils Band, and Black Oak Arkansas show we both were at when we were babies. Speaking of the Babys, we talked John Waite, Ricky's old, my new friend, and his hysterical speech whilst being inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Why she didn't much react behind him, and looking past the front row where Paul and Ringo, his raison d'etre for becoming a musician sat with Funk 49s, Joe Walsh. And then, sharing the stage with them - and his great interactions with both Paul and Ringo. Ricky's fan love for his heroes is so relatable and fun to witness. Ricky's Rhapsody in Blues - An Instrumental Tribute to Jeff Beck is spectacular as are his other WIcked Cool released singles, Louanne, Alien, and Glamdenic Blues, and they're available here: https://www.rickybyrd.com We got the story behind each and why he requests we download rather than stream. I did as soon as we got off the interweb. I adore my old friend. I so enjoyed every second and every word of this conversation. It was such a treat to spend time again in his great company.

On today's show, guitarist, singer-songwriter and recovery troubadour Ricky Byrd shares personal stories and commentary about rock and roll, fame, addiction, social media and more. Also, Ricky plays a live acoustic version of AIN'T GONNA LIVE LIKE THAT NO MORE. GUEST OVERVIEW: Ricky Byrd is a rock and roll guitar player, singer, songwriter and producer. He is best known for being a former member of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, a band that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. He is also a recovery troubadour and keynote speaker who uses music and his personal story to inspire people struggling with addiction. He has released four solo albums, the latest being SOBERING TIMES in 2020. He has also performed or collaborated with many famous artists, including Roger Daltrey, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bruce Springsteen, and Stevie Wonder. https://www.rickybyrd.com/

New York born, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, guitarist /singer- songwriter Ricky Byrd (inducted in 2015 with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts), has had a career in music, spanning more than 40 years. He spent over a decade as a member of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts where he contributed music and background vocals to two platinum albums, I Love Rock 'n Roll and Up Your Alley, the gold certified Album, and four others for the band. Although best known for his time spent with The Blackhearts, Ricky has also recorded and played with Roger Daltrey, and toured with Ian Hunter and Southside Johnny. He has shared the stage with music royalty including Paul McCartney, Ringo, Alice Cooper, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Joe Walsh, Mavis Staples, Dion, Brian Wilson, Smokey Robinson, Jimmy Page, Graham Nash, and Elvis Costello…to name just a few. While the lead guitarist is grateful for all his many musical achievements, Ricky often says one of his greatest gifts came about in 1987 when he started his journey in recovery. He's been clean and sober ever since, doing whatever he can to help others recover. It's his passion and what he's most proud of. Ricky began combining music with recovery in 2012, when he co-wrote a song with his friend, Richie Supa. The two wound up writing what is now considered a recovery classic “Broken Is A Place.” He wrote a second song, and then a third, and he didn't stop until the seeds of his 2017 Clean Getaway album were planted. Today, when he's not performing shows, he visits treatment facilities with his guitar and performs for residents. He also does a great deal of public speaking to help as many people suffering from drug and alcohol addiction as he can.  Ricky has a new single out now – "Louanne" his first in many years that is unrelated to recovery . Ricky says, “My last 2 records “Clean Getaway” and “Sobering Times” had lyrics that spoke to the issues of addiction and recovery. With this new batch of tunes that I'm releasing as singles, I was consciously staying away from that subject matter. 'Louanne' started with the riff and chords, as do most of the songs I write. Then I start to mumble words and fool with a melody. As I was going through the usual process I blurted out “Louanne.. if anybody could you can.” Then came the line“Why don't you go on and get yourself right .. Louanne.” I knew at that point where I was headed! So I guess you can say lyrically Louanne is a song of encouragement for someone struggling with something, and the music is being driven by a nasty RnR riff.” Ricky Byrd joins us this week as our special guest to share his amazing story.    

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund's guest is friend of the show, Ricky Byrd. Ricky was the lead guitarist and backup vocalist with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. He has shared the stage with the greatest musicians such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, Steven Van Zandt and many many others. Ricky was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. But his biggest accomplishment is his 36 years of sobriety and all that he gives back.

This week's guest Ricky Byrd is a rock legend who played with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. His music and the music of his peers has been a foundational element of modern rock and roll. Likewise the people who came before us in recovery often have an enormous impact on the way we think about getting clean. One of the main reasons to keep coming to meetings is so you can give back and inspire the newcomers who are just starting their recovery journey. Ricky Byrd knows all about giving back in his recovery. Ricky talks about what it was like to be backstage when his band was touring with Aerosmith, and how even in the world of rock and roll, sobriety brought musicians together. In his 36 years sober, Ricky got certified as a counselor and sober coach, and now does work for AllSober.com, a resource website for anyone who needs to find help. “I recover out loud.” Jason and Joseph talk about how they're giving back to their recovery community, from one-on-one interactions, to political work, and how they could become even more involved in the future. #RecoveryTalks #SobrietyJourney #RockLegend #RecoveryCommunity #Inspiration #GivingBack #RecoveryResources #SobrietySupport #RecoveryOutLoud #SoberLife #CleanandSober

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund planned to talk to long time friend of the show Ricky Byrd, former lead guitarist and vocalist with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Unfortunately severe weather on the east coast flooded Ricky's basement and understandably he had other things to deal with on a Friday afternoon. Not to be discouraged, Gary and Mark carry on with an open discussion about coping with addiction, recovery and in this case, adversity, in sobriety. Gary and Mark provide a wonderful hour of comfort and compassion for anyone needing a boost in their journey of sobriety.

We talk to Ricky Byrd - Guitarist, Singer Songwriter and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. Perhaps best known for his time as guitarist for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Ricky's career also includes touring and recording with the legends such as Roger Daltrey and Ian Hunter as well as sharing the stage with a Who's Who of rock royalty. As a solo artist Ricky has become a Recovery Troubadour with a catalogue of music that not only entertains but offers knowledge and support to those going through addiction. Today he continues to release brand new music with that ever loving Rock n Roll spirit which shines through in this conversation, touching on times in 70s New York, recording in Abbey Road Studios and much more.Presented in association with Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com/ Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show. https://patreon.com/stvpod

Ricky Byrd is a rock and roll guitar player, singer, songwriter, and music producer. For more than a decade, he was a member of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, where he contributed background vocals and music to many albums, including two platinum albums and one gold album. His most famous song might be “I Love Rock 'n Roll,” which was released in 1981.  For many years, Ricky lived what might be the “typical” musician lifestyle. He drank, used drugs, and partied hard as he toured around the world alongside other famous musicians like Paul McCartney, Alice Cooper, Bruce Springsteen, and Stevie Wonder.  But Ricky made a decision to get sober over 30 years ago. Since then, he's created a lot of new music that focuses on recovery and hope. He often performs at benefit shows to raise money for drug and alcohol treatment facilities.  He's become a certified recovery coach and drug and alcohol counselor. He frequently leads recovery music groups at treatment facilities around the United States.  Some of the things he talks about are how his denial and desire to punish himself kept his substance abuse going, the one thing that inspired him to get help, and how he now helps other people who are struggling with addiction.

Liberty DeVitto Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson I can't stop smiling. How I adore Liberty DeVitto, and would even if he wasn't one of the greatest drummers of all time––Billy Joel's, iconic partner in music for 30 years. I've known Lib for 30-something years and every time I see him it's better than the last. Like fine wine, except neither of us is having any––unlike how it was when we met. We talk about that - his climb to stadium rock, the magnums of red, throwing up on his shoes––before Billy, Mitch Ryder, Vanilla Fudge, meeting Billy, Stevie Nicks, Only the Good Die Young, what Lib brought to it, love and their marriages, and marriages, and marriages, Richie Cannata, Russell Javors, Doug Stegmeyer, The Billy Joel Band, how Billy gave up an enormous opportunity out of love, loyalty and respect for them, and how it fell apart after 30 years of stellar music, fame & friendship. Sobriety, perhaps contributing to Lib's demise. We talked about the silence between them in the years that followed, Lib's resurrection, NYC Hit Squad with Ricky Byrd, The Lords of 52nd Street with the original BJ band, his bestselling memoir, https://amzn.to/2CP8qrg, an upcoming book about Santa https://amzn.to/3dS13li, and, his girls, girls, girls. Wife, daughters, and a new baby granddaughter, that is. The reconciliation with Billy, the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Band— playing and getting inducted into the Long Island off-shoot, and being featured in the rock doc, Hired Gun. Life is grand, better than ever. Lib is happy and grateful. And so much damn fun! Couldn't adore him more. Sitting down with Lib is like going home and being with family. The one you dig.

There's no question that Ricky Byrd's had an amazing music career. Touring with Joan Jet and the Blackhearts and giving a hilarious induction speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to recount a few stories from this show, but if you had told me he had a rich love for comedy and it's history woven into all of it I may not have believed you. Thankfully I had the pleasure of having him on Dystopia to talk everything from his incredible career to hanging out and watching the best comics to ever take the stage and shoot from the hip when he was touring. We discuss favorite tv shows, rock legends he's shared the stage with, his early influences, comedy and comedians, and we drop names you'll definitely have to Google if you want to follow along. Most of all we have fun doing it. Enjoy!

Legendary guitarist and 2015 RRHOF inductee as an original Blackheart with Joan Jett joins the show to talk about his 30 years of sobriety and how he has used his insane creative talent to channel a message of hope for those hopeless.

You will hear songs from Ricky's new album "Sobering Times" out this April. We even talk baseball and the Catskills! And boy does he have stories!
