Poem: Bob Dylan At Live Aid

When Bob Dylan took the stage at Live Aid it was with the biggest hype you could get at that time, personally delivered by Jack Nicholson. The crowd was screaming and Bob mumble-strummed – lost in the 1980s – he part introduced Keef and Ronnie from the Rolling Stones, some guys that decided to come […]

Ronnie Wood with His Wild Five: Mad Lad – A Live Tribute to Chuck Berry

Ronnie Wood with His Wild Five Mad Lad: A Live Tribute to Chuck Berry BMG Right Management (UK) Ltd Well-meaning they’ll say. “Live” the album title tells us – but is it less about the celebration and more about pinpointing an excuse for the sloppiness? Ronnie Wood can play, and I’ll defend that every time […]

V/A: Bobby Gillespie presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

Various Artists: Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down Ace Records/Border I’m a sucker for a great artist-driven compilation/mix-tape. They’ll tell you that you can do it yourself via Spotify or almost any other platform. And you can. But the best mixtapes are the ones your friends make you – because you get to see […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1194

The Jeff Beck Group, Truth (1968) I was in on The Yardbirds first, having heard some Jeff Beck I guess, and having heard all about that “holy trinity” of British guitarists, so I bought a great Yardbirds comp for $2 (on tape) and played it over and over – but then on some rock doco […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1330

The Rolling Stones, Black and Blue (1976) Some days this is my favourite album by The Rolling Stones because it was the first original album by them that I owned – on tape. Took a punt. Funny, the only song I knew from it was Fool To Cry and though it’s true I’ve never been […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1337

Ron Wood, Gimme Some Neck (1979) You know I don’t think the world will ever pause to usher in reappraisal of Ronnie Wood’s solo records but – if it did – this would be a good place to start. Well, it’s where I started at any rate. The version of Seven Days sounds more like […]
