Mott the Hoople- Mott- Ian Hunter
One of Britain’s most beloved party bands this side of The Faces, Mott the Hoople is still revered there with sold-out tours, and we were so fortunate to have Mott main man Ian Hunter join me In the Studio for the golden anniversary of “Mott”. Or should I say “The Golden Age of Rock’n’Roll”?
George Thorogood and the Destroyers- Move It on Over
I have interviewed literally hundreds of the greatest rock musicians , but George Thorogood is the only one who told me that he was planning to be a professional comedian, not a musician. The best-selling album by bare-knuckle electric bluesrocker George Thorogood with July 1982’s Bad to the Bone. George marks the occasion here In the Studio with his unlikely journey featuring all of his biggest hits including “One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer”,”Move It On Over”, Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love”, “I Drink Alone”, Chuck Berry’s “It Wasn’t Me”, and of course “Bad to the Bone”.

Steely Dan- Countdown to Ecstasy 50th Anniversary- Donald Fagen, Walter Becker
So was Steely Dan’s debut success in 1972 with “Can’t Buy a Thrill”, spinning off two Top 15 hits and impressive Top 20 sales, a blessing or a curse when it came time less than a year later to follow it up with “Countdown to Ecstasy”? My guests Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker were too smart to get trapped into a simple binary answer here In the Studio.
Billy Joel- New York State of Mind- San Francisco 6-75
…a live performance of the then new song “New York State of Mind” in June, 1975 in San Francisco.This may be the earliest known live recording of the gem, but most certainly it would be one of the last performances where no one in Billy Joel’s audience applauds during the piano intro in recognition!
