Quant on fait une émission consacrée au rock, notamment progressif, mais même plus généralement inspiré des 60 / 70's, on ne peut que constater la raréfaction tout autant progressive des talents à l'origine de ce courant, inéluctablement de saison en saison et cette dernière en aura été cruellement exemplaire… Mais reste cet héritage sans cesse remis sur le métier par de compétences, le numéro de ce soir en est donc encore un exemple frappant. Commençons donc par l'hommage : née David Palmer, sexuellement réassignée en 2003 pour devenir à l'état civil DEE PALMER, l'ex claviériste-arrangeuse de JETHRO TULL a donc à son tour rejoint notre Emile pour aller "torcher le cul du firmament" cette semaine. Dee avait une formation de musique classique, et l'on sait à quel point le rock progressif est friand de ce genre de talents. Ainsi avant même l'acte de naissance officielle de ce courant musical, Ian Anderson faisait appel aux compétences d'arrangeuse orchestrale de Dee sur le 1er album du groupe "This Was" en 1968, collaboration qui restera systématique puis évoluant vers le poste de musicienne de session pour finalement accéder à celui de co-claviériste officielle et membre à part entière du groupe entre les albums "Songs From The Wood" (1997) à "Stormwatch" en 1979 et dont je vous propose un extrait ici. Par la suite, Dee sera arrangeuse pour divers projets dont cinématographiques. Outre sa participation à Jethro Tull, je retiens de son talent le magnifique album de collaboration entre les membres de Yes (époque 1993 avec Jon Anderson, Steve Howe et Bill Bruford de retour ponctuel) et le London Philarmonic Orchestra pour le magnifique "Symphonic Music Of Yes". Dee Palmer avait 88 ans. Mais on en a encore sous le coude, et à commencer par TIMELESS dont je vous présentais le premier album il y a seulement quelques mois alors que les deux membres de ce duo sont des musiciens expérimentés, chacun ayant suivi son chemin indépendamment car séparés par l'océan l'Atlantique, ce qui n'est pas rien ! Mais par la grâce des technologies actuelles, nos sages et expérimentés amis Tim Taylor aux USA et Les Shaw en Angleterre ont donc produit ce bel ouvrage que je vous recommande chaudement : " The Wolf Of Time", pas mal du tout pour des p'tits jeunes !! Et comme j'avais envie à mon tour de faire plaisir au très sympathique Les (à l'écriture et au chant de Timeless), avec lequel j'ai pu avoir quelques échanges au cours desquels il évoquait un titre de FAMILY sur le second album de la bande à Roger Chapman (Family Entertainment de 1969), je lui dédicace donc bien volontiers ce titre, d'autant que le plaisir est partagé ! Roger Chapman qui s'est illustré cette année par sa participation aux concerts du Tribute Band espagnol OPUS ONE, un projet consacré au Maestro Mike Oldfield et qui à déjà fait appel aux voix emblématiques utilisées par Oldfield telles que Maggie Reilly, Anita Hegerland ou encore Barry Palmer et même la fille du regretté Kevin Ayers ! Le seul défaut d'Opus One est de ne pas quitter la péninsule ibérique. Va falloir que je descende moi-même ?! Autre anglais devenu familier d'Amarok : RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN. Rappelez vous en fin d'année 2025 je vous présentais son nouvel album "Geostrophic Pathways". J'avais par ailleurs diffusé l'extrait "Luminous". Ce soir je reviens sur ce titre dans une version alternative parue cette année en single, avec arrangements et jeux de guitare de PAUL LANDRY. Nos deux amis ont la même appétence pour ces musiques atmosphériques et j'ai toujours plaisir à faire connaître à mon modeste niveau ces deux illustres musiciens anglais tellement sous représentés de ce côté-ci de la Manche ! "Octane" est un carburant (comportant 8 atomes de carbone pour X etc...ne m'en demandez pas trop quand même !!) et ce chiffre 8 correspond aussi à l'ordre chronologique de sorties des galettes fabriquées à base de pétrole par SPOCK'S BEARD. Alors la photo d'une pompe à essence sur la pochette est plus que justifiée ! Au-delà de ces considérations esthétiques, l'album de D'Virgilio, Morse and Co paru en 2005 proposait un son assez "rock" (vous me direz on est la pour ça ! ) mais un rock plus direct et sans doute plus accessible en tout cas, toujours plaisant à écouter aujourd'hui ! Et puisqu'on est dans la branche "metal" du rock progressif, permettez moi de vous représenter une nouvelle fois cette formation venue de Tours : ELEMENTS. Un son musclé certes mais également accessible, s'approchant parfois de la pop et leur 1er album "Nouvelle Ere" par en 2023 inaugure sans aucun doute une nouvelle scène française progressive avec laquelle il faudra compter et avec grand plaisir ! Ils seront de passage à Nantes dans le cadre du PROG NIGHT au Floride ce 26 juin, aux côtés d'Unsquare et d'HamaSaari, qu'on se le dise ! Notre régulier détour italien nous emmène cette fois en Sicile avec ALCANTARA, un groupe que je découvre avec ce 2ème album "Tamam Shud" sorti l'année dernière. Un album qui se mérite, il faut en effet quelques écoutes pour s'approprier son contenu dont la musique croise les routes du Rock Progressif, psychédélique et du blues. Le groupe revendique des influences chez Pink Floyd et Riverside notamment et considère, à juste titre, qu'il se parcours de façon immersive et non comme on écoute une playlist ou une compilation. Je valide et souscrit ! Un album dont les écoutes au casque vous rendent assez vite addict et si vous tombez sous le charme italien, sachez qu'un album live sera publié dès demain vendredi ! Chouette, j'ai tout l'été pour m'y plonger ! En 1978, THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT publiait son 3ème opus : "Pyramid", qui après "The Tales..." et "I Robot", prenait un virage plus pop préfigurant l'orientation du groupe dans les 80's à venir mais toujours avec cette exigence ne serait-ce que la pour la qualité de production irréprochable ! Faut dire que MR PARSONS avait quelques expériences enrichissantes sur son CV, notamment auprès de George Martin et des Beatles (on le voit même presque encore gamin sur le toit de "Apple" lors de ce célèbre et ultime concert sauvage des "Fab Four" en 1969). Quant à "Pyramid", il s'agit d'un album concept autour des pyramides de Gizeh. Peut-être a-t-il été inspiré par l'art-work de la pochette de "Dark Side Of The Moon" dont il reste sans doute l'ingénieur du son le plus envié de la profession ! J'espère qu'à part Amarok, vous écoutez plus généralement la radio, surtout SUN bien sur et notamment l'émission SUN MUSIC ADDICT ! Il s'agit d'un programme permettant à des talents régionaux émergents de jouer en live dans nos beaux studios nantais avec, cerise sur la gâteau, de la vidéo ! C'est à l'occasion de l'une de ces séances que vous avez alors peut-être entendu (et vu) .RESSAC. pour la première fois. Une belle fusion, une musique introspective qui, pour ce qui me concerne, n'est pas tombée dans l'oreille d'un sourd ! Si j'évoquais en début d'émission ces artistes qui le temps passant partent les un après les autres, ils restent éternels par leurs œuvres bien sur mais je crois aussi par l'héritage qu'ils laissent. Alors en voyant émerger ces quatre copains nantais talentueux que sont Simon, Charles, Nicolas et Ewen fondateurs de ce groupe .RESSAC. , je suis rassuré ! Non seulement ils perpétuent l'âme de leurs prédécesseurs mais renouvelle ces musiques offrant peut-être à Amarok quelques beau jours et surtout nous offrent autre chose que le "mainstream" des sentiers battus de la star'ac ! D'ailleurs vous pourrez les voir très prochainement en sortie de résidence, non pas au Château de Dammarie-Les-lys mais au FERAILLEUR à Nantes ce mardi 23 juin, avis à la population ! En attendant, un nouvel extrait de leur premier EP éponyme dans ce numéro. Pour clôturer cette émission, retour en Angleterre et sur un album sorti il y un peu plus d'un mois mais tellement apprécié que j'avais envie de m'en resservir une tranche et de vous en faire profiter aussi ! THE PARADOX TWIN a publié son 3ème album (après un premier essai très réussi et d'ailleurs justement acclamé par la presse en 2018, essai transformé ensuite pour le 2ème opus ! ). "A Romance Of Many Dimensions" tout juste sorti des presses à CD est produit par John Mitchell (d'Arena notamment) qui a les oreilles aussi bien affutées que celles de Spock ! Quant on aime… !

Let's welcome to the Georgia Songbirds Family a singer-songwriter from Tennessee Mr Eric Turner or you may know him as E.T. He came by the show to share some good stories and good music. As always we got distracted. We talked about Festivals, Tribute Bands, Waylon, Audigo and more. Eric even played us a few songs. So pull up a chair and listen in to our conversation
If there's one topic sure to divide opinion in the world of music it's tribute bands and the rapid growth of such bands around the globe. Those who support tribute bands argue points such as providing accessible, affordable entertainment, keeping classical music alive and preserving musical history while those opposed argue tribute bands impact artist authenticity by oversaturating venues and reducing opportunities for original bands who play their own music.That debate has recently spread to social media platforms like Facebook, whose new META algorythm has censored tribute bands and their videos, to the extent of closing down pages dedicated to tribute acts. With two successful international tribute bands in CHOP SUEY and SLIP NOT heading to Australia this May for a run of shows, HEAVY took the opportunity to sit down with the man behind these two bands and one of the world's leading experts on the tribute market, ANDRE JOYZI, to get his perspective on the global tribute band phenomina. ANDRE JOYZI, to get his perspective on the global tribute band phenomina. "Basically, if you don't think with your ego there's nothing wrong with playing in a covers or tribute band," Joyzi began. "When I was 23 I decided I was going to be a professional metal drummer. There was nothing specific like it's going to have to be death metal or It's going to have to be this or that, because there's nothing I love more than playing metal live and the feeling you get from that. I made the early decision that I was going to do both (covers/tribute and originals), because nothing says that you can't".Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

I got to sit down with Alison Prestwood, an A-list bassist, singer, and bandleader whose playing has been anchoring records and stages for decades, and it felt like catching up with someone I should've known for years.We talked about her leap from Atlanta to Nashville in the early '90s, what it's like leaving steady work to chase the next chapter, and how those five-to-six-nights-a-week club years built the kind of chops and confidence that translate anywhere. Alison shares the winding path that led her into Nashville's session world (including a wild early moment overdubbing on a Ronnie Milsap master), and how hearing players like Glenn Worf and Michael Rhodes up close pushed her into that “forever climbing” mindset that great musicians live in.She also goes deep on her musical north stars: Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Willie Weeks, Lee Sklar, and especially Carol Kaye, including an incredible story about spending a full weekend at Carol's house working on pick technique and soaking up stories and wisdom.From there, we get into the nuts and bolts: how Alison thinks about the difference between R&B feel vs. country feel, note length, subdivisions, and the “rules” you learn in Nashville, plus when to break them. She's also launching a brand-new Merle Haggard tribute band called We Are the Merle.We also talk about her time touring with Peter Frampton, how that gig came together, what it's like playing major stages (including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame experience), and the weight and gratitude of watching a legend keep doing the work.And because Alison is also a fellow podcaster, we dig into her show “Hey, Good For You”, a funny, honest, and sharp look at life as a working bassist (and the absurd things people say to women musicians).It's part career map, part hang, part deep musicianship chat, and by the end, we basically agree this needs to be part one.Music from the Episode:Nadine (Is It You) (George Benson)Turning Waylon Down (Alison Prestwood)Austin (Blake Shelton)Beautiful Man (Alison Prestwood & Rodney Crowell)Thank you for listening.

This week the Government set out its strategy to deal with violence against women and girls. This makes up nearly 20% of all recorded crime in England and Wales. Over the last year alone, one in every eight women was a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking, according to Home Office figures. Educating boys on misogyny is a key aim of the strategy and figures show that nearly one in five boys aged 13 to 15 are said to hold a positive view of the self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, according to a YouGov poll. Alex Davies-Jones, the minister for Victims and Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls, joins Anita Rani to discuss the Government's strategy.Hollywood actor Kate Hudson's latest movie Song Sung Blue is based on the real life story of Wisconsin couple Mike and Claire Sardina.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with percussionist Chris DeChiara, whose musical journey spans from teenage rock bands to drum corps, classical training, and ultimately, more than two decades with the U.S. Navy Band in Washington, D.C. I first discovered Chris after hearing him on a Classical Breakdown episode, and I was blown away by his playing, his sound, and the way he talked about percussion. I reached out immediately, and I'm so glad he agreed to come on the show.Chris and I discuss how he found his way into classical music later than most, and how that discovery completely altered the direction of his life. We explore how drum corps shaped his sense of time and listening, as well as the pressure of performing high-level percussion parts night after night. He recounts the story of joining the Navy Band just before 9/11, and we discuss the weight and responsibility of performing military funerals and ceremonial duties at Arlington.We also delve into his book on Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, which originated from a graduate school paper and evolved into a comprehensive research project during the pandemic. Hearing how he approached the timpani part, the historical context, and the self-publishing process was fascinating. From there, we discuss what it truly takes to balance drum set and orchestral percussion, the challenge of leading time within a large ensemble, and the mindset shift required to blend, anticipate, and adapt depending on one's position on stage.Chris and I share a love of the Beatles, so of course, we dive into why those songs are so deceptively complex. Chris also fills me in on what his life looks like now: performing with the Alexandria Symphony, gigging with his long-running band Dr. Fu, playing in tribute acts (including an Iron Maiden tribute), teaching at Catholic University, and tackling a Britney Spears musical mainly played on a sample pad.This is a rich and wide-ranging conversation filled with great stories, thoughtful musical insight, and an inside look at a fascinating career in percussion. I had a great time talking with Chris, and I think you're going to enjoy this one.Thank you for listening.

Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always done everything in-house, from self producing albums to driving themselves on tour. David has put his high level maths ability to good use on tour balance sheets while his brother Peter took what he learned working at youth centres to task in their band life. They play in London, Leeds and Sunderland to celebrate their anniversary in November, find more info and tickets at https://field-music.co.uk/ Get yourself some top class Shure microphone gear: https://shu.re/3YhV7p2 DistroKid makes music distribution fun and easy with unlimited uploads and artists keeping the ENTIRETY of their revenue.
