One of the priceless pieces of twenty-five years of rock history at Q102 Dallas/Ft Worth was a tape cartridge that I had dubbed from a cassette containing a live medley of ZZ Top’s encore of “Lagrange” which had closed their headlining show at Castle Donington Raceway in England August 17, 1985. The Texas trio arguably […]
Bad Company had elbowed their way to the forefront of the rock world by the late March 1975 release of their second album, “Straight Shooter” ,avoiding the sophomore jinx with timeless songs “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad”,”Feel Like Makin’ Love”, and “Shooting Star”. But as my guests Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, and Simon Kirke share here, strange things can happen eventually when that much success is achieved that quickly in lives so young.
“Nuthin’ Fancy” indicated a creative well running low for Lynyrd Skynyrd which would only worsen soon on “Gimme Back My Bullets”. No doubt the non-stop pace of nearly constant touring partly was to blame, but there was something darker and even more sinister which no one outside the band knew, nor anyone in it would admit. This tour had casualties…United once again in Eternity, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, & Ed King played it like they felt it here In the Studio.
Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Ric Savage, & Phil Collen join Redbeard “In the Studio” for their 45th anniversary.
It was over fifty years ago that US audiences were introduced through a Paul McCartney song,”Come and Get It”, to a little-known English band The Iveys, soon to be rechristened Badfinger and to become second only to The Beatles in sales on the Apple Records label.

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”
Eric Johnson “Cliffs of Dover” live 6-14-86 in Dallas, four years before studio release.
Tears for Fears “Songs from the Big Chair” In the Studio with Redbeard & guest Curt Smith
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.
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.
