Dr. Rhino's Picks #57 (Article)
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Though somewhat lost to the sands of time, Cactus was initially dubbed “the American Led Zeppelin” upon their emergence in 1970. Formed as a super group by the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section (Carmine Appice/drums, Tim Bogert/bass), Cactus also featured Jim McCarty (Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels) on guitar and Rusty Day (Amboy Dukes) on vocals. They released 3 studio albums and toured extensively, but never quite caught on with rock fans. The original lineup dissolved in 1972. Bogert & Appice went on to play with Jeff Beck and subsequent versions of Cactus have reunited over the years. Critics

Remembering Ritchie Blackmore’s Departure from Deep Purple (Article)
Monday, April 7, 2014
If you’ve ever heard Deep Purple’s live album Mk III: The Final Concerts, then you’ve heard the band during their very last performance with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore before he decided he’d had quite enough of the band he’d helped to help to found. That performance took place 39 years ago today, at the Palais des Sports, in Paris. While there seems to be little argument that Blackmore’s enthusiasm was muted at best during the gig, apparently none of the other members of Deep Purple were aware that the reason for his general indifference was that he’d already made plans to leave the band by

Once Upon a Time in the Top Spot: The Doobie Brothers’ Minute by Minute (Article)
Monday, April 7, 2014
This week in 1978, Minute by Minute, the eighth studio album from the Doobie Brothers, rose to the pinnacle of the Billboard Top 200. To date, it remains the band’s only #1 album, but the achievement was hardly a surprise to anyone who’d caught the band’s seminal appearance on a very special two-part What’s Happening!! episode – entitled “Doobie or Not Doobie” – only a few months earlier. After all, surely we can all agree that any band capable of holding their own against the formidable trio of Rerun, Roger, and Dwayne was destined to top the charts sooner than later. Even without such a

A Truly Fab Moment in Music History (Article)
Friday, April 4, 2014
50 years ago today, something happened on the Billboard Hot 100 that had never happened before and hasn’t happened again since: every one of the top five entries was held by the same artist... and given the unabashed use of the adjective “fab” in the headline, you probably won’t be terribly surprised to learn that it was the Beatles who achieved this still-unparalleled feat. If you’re wondering, the songs in question were – moving from the top spot down – “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and “Please Please Me.” To celebrate this occasion, we

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "Crosby, Stills & Nash Primer" (Article)
Friday, April 4, 2014
SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES It wasn't an immediate hit. "Marrakesh Express" got all the airplay. And being in excess of seven minutes long, radio was reluctant to play the track in its entirety, the days of free format radio were dying. So the initial Crosby, Stills & Nash album developed slowly, most of us heard it at friends' houses, at parties, and marveled at the elixir that emitted from the speakers. There was harmony before. But not in the rock of the day. And we remembered acoustic guitars from the folk/hootenanny years. But their return here was so fresh we all broke out our instruments and

Dr. Rhino's Picks #56 (Article)
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
We’re taking Dr. Rhino’s Picks #56 back to the swamp with Tony Joe White. Possessing a honey/gravel voice and an earthy R&B band, Tony Joe was also a talented songwriter (“Rainy Night In Georgia”, “Polk Salad Annie”). I’m sorry, but it doesn’t get much better than this. (Wait, on second thought, I’m not sorry.) Take it away TJW! ABOUT DR. RHINO A young Dr. Rhino first encountered the magic of song whilst being born in the front seat of a Lincoln Continental. As the attending physician recalls, the tune was “Touch Me In The Morning” by Diana Ross. It was a mind-blower. Over the years, Dr. Rhino

Fool Me Once, Shame on You, But Fool Me 60 Times… (Article)
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Happy April Fool’s Day, everybody! Rather than engage in the sort of immature trickery that’s begun to permeate the internet on an annual basis, we decided we’d just dig into the Rhino archives and compile a fool-centric playlist…although, if we’re to be honest, we actually thought it’d be more of a challenge than it ultimately ended up being. Seriously, who knew there were so many songs out there that’d been written about fools? Then again, come to think of it, there are quite a few of them out there…

Dio - This Was His Life (Article)
Monday, March 31, 2014
With the arrival of the long-anticipated Ronnie James Dio tribute album, This Is Your Life, finally hitting stores tomorrow, it seems an apropos time to look back at the life of the man who’s getting this impressive tribute and remember what he was all about. Dio – born Ronald James Padavona – actually started his music career in the late 1950s, first as a member of the Vegas Kings, a band which changed its name numerous times in their relatively short career, also going by Ronnie & The Rumblers, Ronnie and the Redcaps, and Ronnie Dio and the Prophets before evolving into the Electric Elves

Happy Anniversary: Led Zeppelin, Presence (Article)
Monday, March 31, 2014
Today marks the 38th anniversary of the Led Zeppelin album that, despite being the slowest-selling studio album in the band’s catalog, has been cited by Jimmy Page as the most important. Why? Because it showed that the band could persevere in the face of turmoil. In this case, the turmoil came from Robert Plant’s unfortunate car accident while on the Greek island of Rhodes in August 1975, which took him out of commission for a fair while, but even as he convalesced, Plant was writing lyrics. He soon reunited with Page in Malibu to get their ducks in a row, songwriting-wise, and in short order
