Rhino’s Got You Covered: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Georgia Satellites, Hindu Love Gods, and...Adam Sandler?! (Article)
Wednesday, July 10, 2019
It’s Wednesday, so it must be time to take another dip into the Rhino catalog and trot out a new quartet of cover songs that you may or may not have heard before. Let’s get started, shall we? • The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” (1984): Given how famous songwriter Jim Steinman has become for penning bombastic tunes, it’s rather refreshing to hear one of his songs stripped down and given a bit of twang. Yes, it’s an unexpected choice for these guys, but they deliver it well. • Georgia Satellites, “Don’t Pass Me By” (1988): When it comes to Beatles covers, you don’t tend to

Friday, January 20, 2017
29 years ago today, The Drifters were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When it comes to the Hall of Fame inducting a group, there are certain rules that must be followed in terms of which line-up of the group – and the members therein – are going to officially be inducted. In the case of The Drifters, they went a slightly different route, picking and choosing from the various eras of the group: the lucky individuals to be selected were Clyde McPhatter, Bill Pinkney, Gerhart Thrasher, Johnny Moore, Ben E. King, Charlie Thomas, and Rudy Lewis. The Drifters were inducted

The Pretenders (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
The Pretenders were one of the seminal bands of the second British Invasion, rising out of London in 1979 with a forceful, self-titled first album. Their melodic but hard-charging sound suggested a union of punk and New Wave approaches. Moreover, being older and more seasoned than their punk peers, they drew inspiration from bands of the first British Invasion, including the Kinks and the Who, as well American soul music.Leader Chrissie Hynde was, in fact, an American expatriate who grew up in Akron, Ohio, and moved to London in the hope of finding her way into the music business. It took

Their collaboration ran from 1956 to 1966, yielding such indelible classics as the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me" and Dion and the Belmonts' "Teenager in Love." They were also – along with Otis Blackwell

Lovin' Spoonful (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
The good-time sounds of the Lovin' Spoonful made the quartet a fixture during the golden age of Top Forty radio. Over a period of two years in the mid-Sixties, the New York-based group charted a string of ten Top Forty hits, seven of which placed inside the Top Ten at a time when the competition included Motown, the Beatles and countless British Invasion bands.

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "King Of The Road" (Article)
Friday, February 14, 2014
And then there are the songs you hate when they're hits... That you absolutely LOVE decades later. Like Roger Miller's "King Of The Road." We already knew him from "Dang Me," which seemed like an extension of the Down Under hit "Tie Me Kangaroo Down," we knew he was someone in the country world, but could he keep his near-novelty tracks off our Top Forty stations? By this time, the British Invasion was in full swing, we wanted only our hits on the radio, not the hangovers and hang-ons of the squares. And when one of these left field hits appeared, they seemed to last forever. We endured them
