The Rolling Stones: Steel Wheels Live

The Rolling Stones Steel Wheels Live Eagle Rock Entertainment When The Rolling Stones released Steel Wheels – they were oldies, apparently. Veterans. They had all but disintegrated, disbanded, Jagger and Richards made middling solo albums each, the rest of the gang sat back and watched their leaders feud – and then when they finally got […]

Rolling With The Stones: A Lifelong Journey

Growing up the first two Rolling Stones albums I heard were Undercover and Dirty Work. Now, these won’t ever figure highly on lists of favourite Rolling Stones records, but I have a connection to them because, as is often the case with music, the first album/s you hear from a significant artist will remain a […]

Keith Richards: Crosseyed Heart

Keith Richards Crosseyed Heart Republic The third solo album by Keith Richards, his first in over two decades, is easily his best. And while that might not say exactly a whole lot it’s also better – I’m sure of it – than if we’d been given a new Rolling Stones album this year. Okay, okay, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1192

The Rolling Stones, Steel Wheels (1989) In so many ways this was the album that fully sold me on The Rolling Stones. No, wait. Hear me out. I was a youngster and the whole family was into the Stones, we had this magical car-trip around the South Island, the whole thing soundtracked by that wonderful […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1777

Robert Plant, Manic Nirvana (1990) It was back in the days when a trip to the big Marbecks store in Auckland was a helluva treat. I’d get to go there once a year – and it was a big deal! I’d almost be hyperventilating with excitement. There were people that knew stuff about music and […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1986

 Mick Jagger, Primitive Cool (1987) I first purchased this – when it was released – on cassette tape. I had recently learned all about The Rolling Stones from my older brother and folks. And then Mick Jagger released his new solo album. I had heard She’s The Boss – and liked the singles. I’ve got a […]
