Free “Fire and Water” 55th anniversary In the Studio with Paul Rodgers.
Two of my all-time faves remain the cinderella story beginnings of Heart in 1976 with “Dreamboat Annie” and the “comeback” album almost a decade later, “Heart”. This hit machine in 1985 reinvented Heart for the MTV Eighties with “If Looks Could Kill”,”What About Love”,”Never”,”These Dreams”, and “Nothing at All”. Wow. Nancy Wilson and singing sistuh Ann Wilson join me here In the Studio on the fortieth anniversary of “Heart” (’85).
In an alternate universe where being boring and predictable is the Original Sin, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue would be sanctified saints, because they have been waging jihad against the tyranny of the mainstream for a full four decades. Peaking at #2 on Billboard Album Sales chart, “Girls, Girls, Girls” would eventually equal their preceding mega-seller “Theatre of Pain” with another four million copies sold. The always eyebrow-raising Nikki Sixx and hilarious Vince Neil are my guests In the Studio.
“Another One Bites the Dust” from Queen’s Summer 1980 album “The Game” turned out to be the musical equivalent of the measles, spreading the sound of “The Game” to #1 sales worldwide forty-five years ago. Brian May and Roger Taylor suit up for Queen’s “The Game” forty-fifth anniversary here In the Studio June 30.
“I think that Talking Heads were one of the first groups who tried not to be about a fantasy that was bigger than life, but tried to be about being strong within a life that was ultimately real.”- Jerry Harrison, In the Studio with Mr “American Utopia”, David Byrne, for Talking Heads “Little Creatures” 40th anniversary.

The Sting and I…We had already done multiple interviews when he was in The Police and now Sting had released three solo albums, including his solo debut,”The Dream of the Blue Turtles”, by the time we reconvened in 1991. Sting had lost both parents by then, the most recent his father, and was clearly wrestling with his star ascending amidst pain and personal loss.

James Taylor is my guest here In the Studio as we mark the golden anniversary of May 1975’s “Gorilla”.
“I’m probably the worst musician in the band,” admits Ray Davies of The Kinks In the Studio on the forty-fifth anniversary of The Kinks live album “One for the Road”. “They’re very good players, and this record shows them off as players as well.” Part one of my classic rock interview.
Simple Minds went to US #1 from performing the hit “Don’t You Forget About Me” in the soundtrack rolling under the end credits of the John Hughes Brat Pack movie “The Breakfast Club” in May 1985. But that’s just the beginning of the story of Simple Minds’ breakthrough album “Once Upon a Time”. We have lead singer/ lyricist Jim Kerr here In the Studio.
