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.
Here is video of Steven Tyler singing God Bless America at the Boston Red Sox home opener on opening day. The hot chick next to him is his daughter Chelsea.

On this show I interview Brijitte West. She used to be the singer/guitarist/songwiter/leader of New York Loose. They put out one of my favorite albums, The Year of The Rat in 1996 on Hollywood Records. They got dropped and Brijitte retired from music for a long time. She got married, started a family and led a normal life. (more…)

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.”
Michael Monroe was joined onstage last night in Helsinki, Finland by original Hanoi Rocks guitarist Nasty Suicide. He joined the band onstage for a rocking version of The Stooges’ I Feel Alright(1970). If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time they’ve played together onstage since Demolition 23. Correct me if I’m wrong. If you have not seen Michael Monroe’s band, which consists of Ginger (Wildhearts) on guitar, Steve Conte(NY Dolls) on guitar, Sam Yaffa(NY Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, Jetboy) on bass and Karl Rockfist (CHELSEA SMILES, DANZIG) on drums, you are missing one of the best live rock shows you will see all year.
