David Bowie- Young Americans

By 1975 David Bowie had abandoned the Glam Rock he had virtually invented in the guise of the ego-tripping tragicomic Fallen Rock Star, Ziggy Stardust. Bowie's mid-decade "Young Americans" album with the #1 hit "Fame" pointed directly toward Disco's dominance a mere two years later...the late David Bowie is my guest for "Young Amercans"

Steely Dan- Katy Lied- Donald Fagen, the late Walter Becker

Steely Dan's 1975 fourth album, "Katy Lied", is a perfect example of a "sleeper", but it's not simply the passage of time that obscures its many-faceted brilliance. Here are Donald Fagen & the late Walter Becker interviewed.

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.

Brandi Carlile- Broken Horses- SNL 10-21

On her "Broken Horses" first Saturday Night Live performance October 23, 2021 Brandi Carlile, framed by her hired gun identical twin bald-headed guitarists, elicited comparison to Bonnie Raitt backed by Tom Petty's Heartbreakers. Carlile's songcraft, stage presence, and impeccable vibrato, with that hot band kicking her backside, made me an instant convert.
