Today marks the 20th anniversary of Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson’s first solo album, Paper. It was released on August 24, 2004. This was an important album for Rich because at the time, The Black Crowes were on their first hiatus. It could be argued that he was constantly in the shadow of his older... Continue Reading →
Haters can say all they want about AC/DC. Their music is boring. They’ve made the same album 17 times (or however many studio albums they have). They’re devil worshipers and all that nonsense. But, believe it or not, rock ‘n’ roll would not have been the same without AC/DC. Heck, pop culture wouldn’t have been... Continue Reading →
Let’s get this out of the way; I only bought Geddy Lee’s My Effin’ Life (2023) book because of Sea of Tranquility. In fact, more than half of my music purchases from the past 2-3 years were because of Sea of Tranquility. I’m not a Rush fan (yet), by any means, but I’m trying to... Continue Reading →
I just want to preface this review by saying I received a PDF copy of Crime of the Century (2024) by the author and these are strictly my thoughts and opinions. Crime of the Century is a true crime / classic rock book written by music enthusiast Angie Moon. The author goes into gigantic details... Continue Reading →
As mentioned in a previous Lynyrd Skynyrd post, I’ve heard the name all my life, but didn’t dive into the band’s catalog until after guitarist Gary Rossington’s passing; like a few months later. This past March, we had the one-year death anniversary, which is morbid to think about. But since then, Lynyrd Skynyrd has been... Continue Reading →
May wasn’t a drastic month for music purchases, but I found some cool stuff. I guess, I was in the mood for taking risks because I purchased a few albums from bands that are out of my comfort zone. I also picked up a special item for my Def Leppard collection, which I didn’t even... Continue Reading →
Today, May 24, is guitarist Rich Robinson’s 55th birthday and man, he’s lived quite a life! He co-founded southern rock / blues rock band The Black Crowes with his older brother, Chris Robinson, back in 1984 under the name, Mr. Crowe’s Garden. Rich was only 17 when he wrote the music for the now iconic... Continue Reading →
I can’t believe we’re over halfway done with April! This year is flying by fast. For those of you that haven’t read My Favorite Songs from Fall 2023, how this works is I’ll talk about my favorite songs from a particular season and in this case, I’ll be sharing my picks from Spring 2024. Most... Continue Reading →
I don't do music purchases blog posts often because as mentioned in my November 2023 Purchases blog post, all of my CDs are usually from Amazon. Thankfully, March was a special month because Judas Priest released Invincible Shield (2024) on March 8 and The Black Crowes put out Happiness Bastards (2024) on March 15, a... Continue Reading →
Think back to 2015, when The Black Crowes called it quits for supposedly the final time. Who knew we would get another studio album from these guys? I’m not even sure if the Robinson brothers knew they’d release a new record in 2024. But you know what, props to them for putting their issues behind... Continue Reading →
