“For me Malc was always entertaining, and I hope you remember that. Above all else he was an entertainer and i will miss him, and so should you” – Johnny Rotten

I love this guy. If there I could interview anyone in the world, Johnny Rotton/Lydon would be my #1 choice.

Iggy And The Stooges to Release Deluxe Edition of Raw Power on April 13th and April 27th

Raw Power
You gotta have Raw Power” – Henry Rollins of Black Flag

When an album influences an entire movement, the way Iggy and the Stooges’ Raw Power did for punk rock, it takes a whole lot to make it better. Fortunately, that’s just what is happening on April 13th and April 27th; Raw Power is being re-released with bigger, better, and more bad ass versions, the Legacy Edition (4/13 release) and the Deluxe Edition (4/27 release).

Two re-workings of the classic album, originally produced by Iggy and mixed by David Bowie, will hit store shelves in a double-disc format with a load of previously unreleased recordings from the band’s Raw Power “era” of 1972-73. Along with the never before released audio tracks comes disc two, titled “Georgia Peaches,” a one-hour performance at Atlanta’s notorious rock club Richards in October 1973.

She got married, started a family and led a normal life. (more…)

Robin Zander “Solo” record Release in May!

The greatest singer in rock has a new album coming out! Robin Zander recorded a bunch of songs he wrote alongwith some classics.

From Cheap Trick’s Website:

What do a handful of Nashville’s premiere session players, the singer from Cheap Trick, the drummer from Neil Young & The Bluenotes, the Warren Brothers, Producer Chris Lindsey, Tim McGraw’s recording team, Nashville’s newest star, Sarah Buxton, Executive Producer Bill Edwards and Big 3 records have in common?

COUNTRYSIDE BLVD.
That’s the title of the record.

COUNTRYSIDE
That’s the name of the band.

This unique group of musicians, songwriters, and singers gathered in Nashville last year and recorded 12 songs. In that place and time they have captured a fresh country sound with a combination of musical styles.

The songs were written and sung by Robin Zander along with a few classics.  The album features Sarah Buxton, Tom Bukovac, Pat Buchanan, Chad Cromwell, J.T. Corenflos, Dan Dugmore, Tim Lauer, Glen Worf, Larry Franklin, Perry Coleman, Robin T. Zander and the Countryside Singers.

“I’m hopeful that when people discover this album that it’s as fun to listen to as it was to record” states Sara Buxton.

“I’ve always wanted to do a record in Nashville and this is it.” says Robin Zander, “To have these musicians of this caliber record my songs for COUNTRYSIDE BLVD was one experience I won’t soon forget. Thanks to all for doing one hell of a record.”
