Rare classic rock interviews by Redbeard from the vast In the Studio archive

Genesis- The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 50th- Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford

Eric Clapton- Journeyman 35th Anniversary

Eric Clapton's mid-Eighties trifecta of studio albums, starting  in 1985 with Behind the Sun  followed by  August, peaked in November 1989 with  Journeyman.  Thirty-five  years on it has aged remarkably well, a combination of some of Clapton's…

Deep Purple- Perfect Strangers @40- Ian Gillan, Roger Glover

Deep Purple “Perfect Strangers” with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

Grateful Dead- Early Best

If you really want to have fun with a self-proclaimed Deadhead, first have him/ her set down their phone and then ask them to name the Grateful Dead's highest-charting Billboard   album up to the band's 1987 best-seller, "In the Dark" . You'll get a lot "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" guesses, and after that I'd have picked "Terrapin Station". The correct answer turns out to be the tasty mid-decade effort by the Grateful Dead, "Blues for Allah". Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, & Phil Lesh are In the Studio.

Supertramp- Crime of the Century 50th Anniversary- Roger Hodgson

Fleetwood Mac “Tusk” interview with Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, part two

The Band 55th Anniversary- Robbie Robertson

Widely viewed along with Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and Gram Parsons as  fathers of  the Americana musical movement, The Band also may have  been one of rock's first alternative groups. In part one of this classic rock interview, main songwriter Robbie Robertson ("The Weight","The Night They Drove Ol'Dixie Down","Up on Cripple Creek","The Shape I'm In") helps me make that case.

Dave Matthews Band- Under the Table and Dreaming 30th Anniversary

Dave Matthews Band "Under the Table and Dreaming" 25th anniversary.

Mark Knopfler- Get Lucky 15th Anniversary

Bob Seger and Mark Knopfler, the latter marking (sorry) the fifteenth anniversary of his sixth solo album, Get Lucky, were both about ten years older than most pop stars when fame and fortune arrived, so each was a little bit more prepared when…

Jackson Browne- Late for the Sky 50th Anniversary

Late for the Sky by Jackson Browne was released September 13, 1974. Do you realize from what kind of place a songwriter has to come to show his or her inner soul, the Big Ta Dah, with the opening song on side one? That is precisely the confidence,…

Jethro Tull- Stormwatch 45th Anniversary- Ian Anderson

Revisiting Jethro Tull's 1979 "Stormwatch" for its upcoming forty-fifth anniversary in September proved to be surprisingly revelatory on multiple levels. My guest Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, in explaining the dual meaning of the "Stormwatch" title, may have been among the very first rock composers to observe the coming climate change as well as the socio-political storms brewing.

The Blues Brothers Movie – John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd

I would wager that imitators of the Blues Brothers, blues harp-blowing Elwood Blues and his singing hand-standing brother Joliet Jake, are second in number only to Elvis impersonators ever since Briefcase Full of Blues  surprisingly topped…
