Eagles- One of These Nights 50th- the late Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner

Driving halfway across America  not long after the June 1975 release of "One of These Nights"  by The Eagles is when I truly realized just how massively popular this band had become. Original Eagles singer/bass player Randy Meisner, now passed, and the late Eagles co-founder singer/guitarist Glenn Frey joined me here In the Studio in a classic rock interview,precious now with ttheir passing, about the album which single-handedly took country and western music from the bunkhouse to Broadway.

Robert Plant- Shaken ‘n’ Stirred 40th Anniversary

"The Principle of Moments", Robert Plant's second solo album, first convinced us that Plant could sustain a viable solo career outside of the legendary Led Zeppelin, which he fronted for twelve fabled years. But for me personally it was "Shaken 'n' Stirred" in 1985, served pre-release on a Walkman at 40,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean,  that began my professional relationship with the complicated singer. Robert Plant is my guest In the Studio.
