In my search for rare vinyl - in record shops, boot sales and charity shops - I come across the good, the bad and the ugly. These days I tend to buy anything that looks interesting, as long as the price is right, which means I sometimes land up with crap, but sometimes hit pay dirt (like Ronnie Self's Bop-a-lena which I featured a few weeks ago). From time to time I intend to feature some of these...

The Brough on a bonny morn Louise's worry about moving here was that the wind would never cease and that the sun would never shine. So far about every third morning has been sunny and calm. I wandered down to the Shunan this morning, after a quick shufty around the garden (Fieldfare, Blackbird 5, Redwing 3) to find more Redwing, c100 down the track, with a good few more Blackbirds and the Shunan stuffed...

This is Wayne Kramer and the boys doing Ramblin’ Rose: Yeah, I know about their politics. Big deal. I just like the jam. Trivia: The MC5 was founded in [...]

I pretty tune by a group of southern “git fiddle” pickers that I happen to like quite a bit. I’m sure that Robert Stacy McCain likes these guys. If he don’t he’s most likely a closet gay man. (I’m linking to him, so he’ll feel important… ) This is Jessica live somewhere in 1982: Related Posts: Enough is Enough! Late Night at the PB presents: Peter, Paul...

I’m tempted to call Gov’t Mule one of my guilty pleasures. The thing is, there is really nothing to feel guilty about. Their last album, High and Mighty (2006), was my favorite hard rock album of that year, and the new one, By a Thread (Evil Teen Records), is likely to hold the same position [...]

Robin Trower is part of a dying breed — one of the last true guitar heroes.

Robin Trower is most often remembered for bluesy, Hendrix-esque guitar playing, not virtuoso vocals. Although Trower has been known to sing on records throughout his nearly four-decade solo career, for the most part, he has focused on his powerful lead playing. All of this makes this year’s “What Lies Beneath,” Trower’s 20th studio album (give or take), somewhat surprising,...
