“Black Diamonds” sees L.A. Guns continuing on the same inspiring sonic journey that they’ve been on with their most recent studio albums since the reunion of original members Tracii Guns (guitar) and Phil Lewis (vocals). With no interest in solely revisiting their ’80s glam metal origins, the 21st century L.A. Guns is at once familiar, but also an evolution. The grit, anger, and danger that they always had remains, while their ’70s hard rock influences shine through. Continue reading “L.A. Guns – Black Diamonds (2023)”

Recorded at London’s Rainbow Theater in November of 1973, Somewhere Under the Rainbow captures Neil Young at the height of the Tonight’s the Night era, having finished that tumultuous album just months earlier and already taking the material to the stage. The Santa Monica Flyers, Neil’s backing band on this tour, consisted of pedal steel player Ben Keith, bassist Billy Talbot, drummer Ralph Molina, and Nils Lofgren jumping between piano, guitar, and even occasional accordion.

While promoting Metallica’s eleventh album, Lars Ulrich claimed 72 Seasons was “maybe the most friction-free record we’ve ever made” which is a fair assessment of the LP. Never before has Metallica seemed so comfortable being Metallica, embracing their identity as a collective and letting each member play to their strengths: Ulrich’s drums are pushed forward in the mix, Robert Trujillo roams wild with his bass, Kirk Hammett gets plenty of room to solo while James Hetfield processes all he’s learned in therapy.

When asked about his favorite instrument, Johann Wilhelm Wilms could only have answered: the orchestra. This statement probably sounds rather strange for a composer who, as a young pianist, was the number one among the piano virtuosos and teachers of his adopted city of Amsterdam and who was also appreciated as a flutist for decades; however, it is at least as plausible if one listens to one of his works for orchestra: every page of a Wilms Continue reading “Paolo Giacometti, Martin Sandhoff / Kölner Akademie / Michael Alexander Willens – Johann Wilhelm Wilms: Sinfonie und Solokonzerte (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

While the speed-freak adrenaline heaviness and shrouded occult mystery of Tyranny and Mutation is the watermark for Blue Öyster Cult’s creative invention, it is Secret Treaties that is widely and critically regarded as the band’s classic. Issued in 1974, Secret Treaties is the purest distillation of all of BÖC’s strengths. Here the songs are expansive, and lush in their textures.

Coming off such conceptual, theatrical, sleazy hard rock records as the massively successful School’s Out (1972) and Billion Dollar Babies (1973), the Alice Cooper group decided that their next release would be more along the lines of their earlier, more straightforward work (à la Love It to Death). While Muscle of Love was a gold-certified Top Ten success, it performed below expectations (their previous two albums peaked at number two and number one, respectively) and would unfortunately prove to be the original Alice Cooper band’s last studio album together.

There is no shortage of Jerry Lee Lewis anthologies — the early Sun years in particular have been ripe for compiling — so it’s been easy to overlook a glaring gap in his catalog: a comprehensive career overview. The closest there’s been is Rhino’s terrific double-disc All Killer, No Filler, but Salvo’s 2012 box A Whole Lotta Jerry Lee Lewis trumps that 1993 set handily.

Digitally remastered edition of this 1981 release. Formed in 1979 by Ottawa-born Ron Chenier, singer/ guitarist, recruited players and began honing their chops doing small clubs in and around the Toronto area. Fleet Street was the band’s third album. “Double Or Nothing” again showcased Chenier’s talent for writing slick, guitar riffs, while “Thunder In Rock” was easily the year’s best tune on the radio waves. With the clever addition of a sax solo, “Thunder In Rock” is probably most synonymous with Fist’s music, if any song is at all. Continue reading “Fist – Fleet Street (1981) [2022 Remastered]”
