Rare musician interviews by Redbeard not part of the weekly radio series .

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Nuthin’ Fancy- the late Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, Ed King

"Nuthin' Fancy" indicated a creative well running low for Lynyrd Skynyrd which would only worsen soon on "Gimme Back My Bullets".  No doubt the non-stop pace of nearly constant touring partly was to blame, but there was something darker and even more sinister which no one outside the band knew, nor anyone in it would admit. This tour had casualties...United once again in Eternity, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, & Ed King played it like they felt it here In the Studio.

Def Leppard- High ‘n’ Dry- Joe Elliott, Rick Savage

Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, Ric Savage, & Phil Collen join Redbeard "In the Studio" for their 45th anniversary.

Badfinger- Straight Up- the late Joey Molland & Mike Gibbins

It was over fifty years ago that US audiences were introduced through a Paul McCartney song,"Come and Get It", to a little-known English band The Iveys, soon to be rechristened Badfinger and to become second only to The Beatles in sales on the Apple Records label.

Damn Yankees- Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent, Michael Cartellone

The Nineties' first supergroup Damn Yankees actually lived up to the hype in February 1990: containing Styx singer/songwriter/guitarist Tommy Shaw, Night Ranger's singer/songwriter Jack Blades, drummer Michael Cartellone, and whackmaster Ted Nugent, the Damn Yankees  debut sold a whopping two million copies. They're all with me In the Studio.

James Taylor- Mud Slide Slim @55

James Taylor is still recording wonderfully satisfying albums like "American Standard", and being chosen to open brand new live music venues, fifty-five years after the album "Sweet Baby James" captured the country's attention. Now that’s finding the keys to a real time machine. James Taylor joins me In the Studio.

Van Morrison- Moondance/Tupelo Honey

Eddie Money- Sound of Money (Best Of)

Just before Christmas 1989 Eddie Money joined me In the Studio to discuss his roller-coaster career and first "best of" compilation, The Sound of Money. Alternately hysterically funny and harrowing, in my classic rock interview Eddie Money shares…
