HEART- Heart’85 @40- Nancy Wilson, Ann Wilson

Two of my all-time faves remain the cinderella story beginnings of Heart in 1976 with “Dreamboat Annie”  and the “comeback” album almost a decade later, “Heart”. This hit machine in 1985  reinvented Heart for the MTV Eighties with “If Looks Could Kill”,”What About Love”,”Never”,”These Dreams”, and “Nothing at All”. Wow. Nancy Wilson and singing sistuh Ann Wilson join me here In the Studio  on the fortieth anniversary of “Heart” (’85).

Metallica- Load- James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett

Metallica “Load” did not budge from the top seller position for a full four consecutive weeks in June 1996 because of such tender love songs as “Ain’t My Bitch”,”Bleeding Me”,”King Nothing”, “The House  Jack Built”, and “Until It Sleeps”. Guitarist/singer James Hetfield and guitarist Kirk Hammett are surprisingly unguarded, conversational, and open about this dizzying rocket ride into superstardom.

Sting- The Dream of the Blue Turtles 40th Anniversary

The Sting and I…We had already done multiple interviews when he was in The Police and now Sting had released three solo albums, including his solo debut,”The Dream of the Blue Turtles”, by the time we reconvened in 1991. Sting had lost both parents by then, the most recent  his father, and was clearly wrestling with his star ascending amidst pain and personal loss.

Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms 40th- Mark Knopfler

Few albums from the Eighties have been so popular or aged as well as “Brothers in Arms”, the fifth studio album from London’s Dire Straits. Released in May 1985, Brothers in Arms contained the songs of Mark Knopfler performed expertly and produced impeccably, which proved irresistible to an international buying audience estimated at over thirty million.Dire Straits bandleader Mark Knopfler tries to explain the phenomenon of “Brothers in Arms”  and modern super-celebrity here In the Studio in this classic rock interview. “I recommend success to anybody. I can’t think of anything good about fame. If you can, let me know.”

Doobie Brothers- What Were Once Vices…/Stampede 50th- Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons

The surprise success from “Black Water” afforded the Doobie Brothers some creative license on their next album, “Stampede”, released in April 1975. But as you will hear from Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston, and the late Doobie drummer Mike Hossack, the non-stop grind of five years of one-nighters, stopping only long enough to record the next album, was starting to create stress fractures in the foundation of the band which  would sideline Tom Johnston with a bleeding ulcer and, ultimately, alter the sound of the Doobie Brothers for the next decade.
