Happy 30th: Joe Walsh, The Confessor (Article)
Thursday, May 21, 2015
30 years ago today, Joe Walsh released the seventh studio album of his solo career, an effort which didn’t manage to change his commercial fortunes but did offer a title track that has since come to be viewed as one of his signature songs. The Confessor broke a two-year silence from Walsh, with his previous album, 1983’s You Bought It – You Name It, having left critics less than amused even as it entertained fans and radio listeners with singles like “I Can Play That Rock & Roll” and “Space Age Whiz Kids,” with the latter track also providing Walsh with a minor MTV hit.

Wednesday, May 20, 2015

In their native UK, however, they’ve got a strong following that’s

Over the years I've collected hours and hours of vintage C&W music for road trips, specifically the cross-country kind. Nothing marks the miles better.

Thursday, May 7, 2015
55 years this week, the sad story of how a girl named Cathy broke a poor boy’s heart and forced him to bid her farewell found its way to the top of the UK Singles chart. Written by Don and Phil Everly, the music of “Cathy’s Clown” took its inspiration from a classical source: Ferde Grofe’s “Grand Canyon Suite.” Don Everly clarified the song’s origins in a 1982 interview with the Radio Times, explaining, “There’s a little marching section which was used for a Philip Morris commercial on the radio at the time and I was very taken by it. The lyric came from stories our father (Ike Everly) used to
