George Harrison

Today marks the seventh anniversary of the death of George Harrison. (November 29, 2001) George Harrison was not only one of rock’s greatest guitarists and songwriters, he was also a film producer, author, gardener and was interested in auto racing.

Bruce Springsteen : Working On A Dream :: Review

Bruce Springsteen is cooking up some new songs for a new album in January.  The first single, “Working On A Dream” should appeal to his audience and not many others.  “Working On A Dream” is a middle of the road rocker full of doowop back up vocals and a typical Springsteen chorus.  Bruce Springsteen sounds lazy, he could write this one in his sleep.  The performance on this song sounds mechanical, like Springsteen is deciding to stick to his formula and never deviate.  It’s no wonder Bruce was called the “Rock and Roll Donovan” by Keith Richards.

What I enjoyed most about “All I Intended To Be” is Emmylou’s beautiful vocals which just improve with age.

Scott Weiland : Happy In Galoshes :: Review

Scott Weiland is back!  Well, he’s returned to his solo recording career after Velvet Revolver imploded.  On ‘Happy In Galoshes’ Scott Weiland mines the glam and hard rock sound of his previous solo album, ‘12 Bar Blues’ while incorporating poppier elements into the mix.  Opener “Missing Cleveland” sounds like a mash up between T-Rex and David Bowie, while “Tangle With Your Mind” sounds like somebody Read more
