These are the classic rock interviews and rock music interviews from the most recent weekly episodes of In The Studio with Redbeard.

Alice Cooper- Billion Dollar Babies 50th anniversary
In February 1973 when Alice Cooper's sixth album "Billion Dollar Babies" went #1 sales, we all thought that Marshall McLuhan, Andy Warhol, and Alice Cooper were being hyperbolic with their predictions about video fame's impact on society. We laughed then, but as it turns out, the joke's on us...Alice Cooper is my fascinating guest on the 50th anniversary of “ Billion Dollar Babies”.

Journey- Infinity 45th Anniversary- Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Steve Perry
With their 1978 fourth album,"Infinity", some rock writers even today attempt to reduce the remarkable transformation by the San Francisco band Journey as "talented veteran but commercially struggling group hires world-class singer, which anybody would recognize; shortens song arrangements; and instantly becomes the biggest band in America". "Wrong," says Journey lead guitarist/songwriter/co-founder Neal Schon ."Wrong!"

Warren Zevon, the gambler's son who wrote and sang "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", presumably is indeed resting in peace, having ;passed away far too soon in 2003...Here is my rare interview with Warren Zevon on the 45th anniversary of "Excitable Boy".

Kinks- To the Bone- Ray Davies
"I'm probably the worst musician in the band," admits Ray Davies of The Kinks In the Studio. "They're very good players, and this record 'To the Bone' shows them off as players as well." Part one of my interview.

Aerosmith 50th anniversary- Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton
This classic rock rock interview is such a treat because you hear Aerosmith founders Joe Perry, Steven Tyler, and Tom Hamilton In the Studio recalling days at Lake Sunapee NH fifty years ago before recording their 1973 debut.

Free- Heartbreaker 50th anniversary- Paul Rodgers
Free "Heartbreaker" final album 50th anniversary In the Studio with Paul Rodgers.

Phil Collins- Hello I Must Be Going 40th anniversary
It happened to Elton John, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Sting, and most recently U2: US radio and music video outlets overplaying the hits by these most popular musicians, in the programmers' misguided attempts at gaining a bigger audience. But the unfortunate by-product is that these listeners/viewers burn out on the saturation repetition to the peril of the musicians, and the predictable backlash unfortunately is misdirected at the musicians, who had no control over how their songs were appropriated. No one on the planet knows this better now than my guest Phil Collins on the 40th anniversary of his second solo album,"Hello I Must Be Going.".

Jackson Browne- Running On Empty 45th anniversary
Jackson Browne In the Studio with Redbeard for the backstory to December 1977’s "Running on Empty", his biggest seller forty-five years ago.

Traffic- Mr Fantasy- Steve Winwood,the late Jim Capaldi
Traffic albums "Mr Fantasy", "Traffic", and "John Barleycorn Must Die" included former Spencer Davis Group teen prodigy singer/organist/guitarist Steve Winwood, reed man Chris Wood, and drummer Jim Capaldi. Guitarist/singer Dave Mason, a former Spencer Davis roadie, shared a talent for melody with the other three on the first two Traffic albums, but little else personality-wise, and was cut loose for the second and final time before the second album hit store shelves. Steve Winwood & the late Jim Capaldi joined me In the Studio.

Lou Reed- Transformer 50th anniversary
Lou Reed focuses on his second post-Velvet Underground album,"Transformer" containing the Top 20 alterna-hit "Walk on the Wild Side". Rolling Stone magazine writers rank "Transformer" at #109 now on their Top 500 All Time list.

Steely Dan- Can’t Buy a Thrill 50th- Donald Fagen, the late Walter Becker
"Can't Buy a Thrill" in November 1972 from Steely Dan this first varied assortment of smart pop from the songwriters Donald Fagen and Walter Becker sounds the least like any Steely Dan album which would follow, but my guests Donald Fagen & the late Walter Becker explain why that's the case In the Studio on the evergreen album's 50th anniversary.

Moody Blues- Days of Future Passed- Justin Hayward, John Lodge
"Days of Future Passed" Moody Blues mainstays Justin Hayward and John Lodge document the fascinating story of a true Hail Mary pass to avoid abject poverty and starvation, resulting not only in timeless hits "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin" but also igniting a musical movement, Progressive Rock,
