Judging from the cover, it may have taken a stampede of elephants to drive the Allman Brothers Band back into the studios. After a nine year studio absence "Hittin' the Note" does a fine job of delivering a powerful punch with help from recent band member Derek Trucks.

The Beatles certainly raised the bar when they arrived on the music scene in the early sixties. Kim Simmonds (founding member of British blues rockers Savoy Brown) may have best explained the impact the fab four had on rock and roll when he said -- "The Beatles were the first British band to get American music right ... then bring the music back to America."

The Beatles further redefined the essence of rock music with the 1967 release of Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was an engineering masterpiece. Recorded with a modest four track recorder, Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band set a new standard in terms of studio production.

Randall Bramblett is a very talented songwriter/musician/singer/performer -- Thin Places finds Bramblett once again surrounded by great musicians. Inventive compositions, interesting music and harmonies make Thin Places a top notch recording. A few songs worthy of special mention are You Can Be the Rain, Are You Satisfied, and Chet Baker. The lyrics and exquisite harmonies on You can Be the Rain suggest a song that would easily climb the charts providing listener polls were actually interested in genuine talent. The song portrays a sense of guarded optimism that better days could be realized if a certain someone would make better choices. People can be the rain against a window until they're ready to come inside and contribute to the whole of caring relationships.

In 1971 both the Allman Brothers Band and Humble Pie made rock and roll history with their Fillmore performances. When Humble Pie recorded Rockin' the Fillmore, guitarist/vocalist Steve Marriott and company left a legacy that'll be difficult to improve upon. In one of the most powerful blues rock performances ever transfered onto vinyl Humble Pie carved out their slice of rock and roll pie with a chainsaw.
Marriott's fortified blues vocals and prolific guitar interaction with guitarist Peter Frampton tipped the scales in terms of giving back to their audience. Humble Pie had come to play -- the band delivered a legendary performance that has endured the test of time unscathed.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience introduced a new chapter in rock music with the release of Are You Experienced. The guitar prowess of Jimi Hendrix [along with rhythm section Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell] offered a glimpse of things to come. The influences of Jimi Hendrix would be noted for decades. Hendrix pushed the envelope with his articulate union of electric guitar and controlled distortion. Amplification had become more than a means to an end -- amplified guitar had been reinvented and Hendrix carved his signature fretwork into the future of rock music.

King Crimson's Lizard album wasn't as widely embraced as the efforts that came years later. Perhaps the audience wasn't ready for such maturity and sophistication of instrumentation and compositions. Yes' Jon Anderson provides the lead vocals on a portion of the 'Lizard' suite.
Robert Fripp and company proved themselves to be innovative pioneers of both music and technique through the years. Lizard has been remastered in 24-bit by Robert Fripp and rereleased as part of their 30th Anniversary / Limited Edition collection. - (c) 2004 Mark D McKinley [Mark's Online Music Source]

McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra pushed the barriers of comfortable music genres and explored the rock era from a unique jazz fusion perspective. The Inner Mounting Flame was a landmark recording that sparked emotion within the listener... offering something of a deeper experience than the typical mainstream rock and roll of the time. - (c) 2009 Mark D McKinley [Mark's Online Music Source]

Pink Floyd charted it's own path and received wide recognition following the release of Meddle and Obscured by Clouds. The March 1973 release of Dark Side of the Moon became an instant success breaking numerous records on the charts. The album literally skyrocketed Pink Floyd's career. Dark Side of the Moon is [one of] the best selling albums of all times with over 35 million copies being sold since it's original release. Dark Side of the Moon is another example of a project that raised the bar in terms of concept, writing, engineering and studio production.

Stephen Stills entered the studio after fourteen years and recorded thirteen inspired tracks with long time friends. A nice recording that compliments his brilliant 1991 acoustic solo effort, Stephen Stills Alone. "Man Alive!" is a fine mix of both acoustic and electric gems.

Stray Dog broke into the recorded music scene in 1973, delivering a powerful package of blues-tinged rock. The sound that defined Stray Dog's music was the unique edge and prowess of "Snuffy" Walden's guitar. Best of my knowledge the band released only two albums and regretfully, Stray Dog never experienced widespread recognition. Their fan-base existed mainly within circles of more progressive music listeners that sought something better than what the top-forty radio stations were blasting the airwaves with.
Several progressive rock bands and many of the lesser known artists of that time gradually found a home on mainstream FM radio channels during the next few years-- creating larger fan-bases and increased record sales. Breakthrough artists included Emerson, Lake, and Palmer,,, Jethro Tull... Uriah Heep... Yes... Procol Harum... The Who... Joe Walsh... Pink Floyd... Manfred Mann's Earth Band... Genesis... Humble Pie... and many more.
For whatever reason, the talents of Stray Dog remained largely unknown to the masses.

Experience Master Machine - the progressive... ambient... debut EP from theendisthebeginning. Rich, well structured songwriting makes this mature debut recording a choice pick! Incorporating mixed meter compositions with unique instrumentation and excellent vocals, "theendisthebeginning" paints an audible soundscape that immediately captures the listener's ear. Master Machine is a coherent project of inspired artistry - flowing evenly from beginning to end - the end of this musical gem could easily become the beginning. - (c) 2010 Mark D McKinley [Mark's Online Music Source]

Robin Trower launched his solo career in the early seventies and created a wall of sound with his guitar that even a sledgehammer would've been hard pressed to crack. Considering Trower's guitar style and music was heavily influenced by Hendrix, his artistry quickly evolved into a sound that was uniquely Robin Trower. On the heels of Twice Removed From Yesterday, Trower's second release Bridge of Sighs was a landmark recording-- an icon of sorts for successful union of overwhelming guitar force and equally powerful vocals as delivered by bassist James Dewar. The former Procol Harum guitarist remains quite active in the studio today recording new material, and much of his back catalog of music has been remastered and reissued on CD in recent years.

Barnstorm was the vehicle that launched Joe Walsh's highly successful solo career - building on the depths of composition that made The James Gang's "Rides Again" a classic recording during the early seventies. Barnstorm also includes the ORIGINAL version of 'Turn to Stone' which was later given a new arrangement and included on his 'So What' album. Fortunately, the Barnstorm recording has also been remastered and rereleased on CD as part of Joe Walsh's past classics.

(April 2004) -- Victrola for Sale is a stark reminder that rock music is alive and kickin' in the twentieth century. The CD introduces original compositions steeped in rock tradition yet seasoned with an inventive approach to alternative rock. Wheelhorse emerged from a network of deep roots whose underground branches absorbed the nutriments of diverse musical influences. The band has been around for ten years -- the current lineup has been together for two years. The music of Wheelhorse refuses to be pigeonholed into any one genre -- textures of alternative, blues, country and rock are melded together like the strike of a blacksmith's hammer. Wheelhorse has proven noteworthy per getting it right -- having refined their artistry before recording the debut.
Their musicianship, vocals and arrangements take on a unique blend of originality. Listening to Victrola for Sale for the first time is like taking a ride in an old classic with brand new shocks -- there's something familiar about it yet the ride is different. I highly recommend taking Wheelhorse for a test drive ... Victrola for Sale hugs the road, corners well, and the ride is music to your ears.

This legendary British rock group formed in the sixties ... The Who were an essential part of the early British rock movement. They were breaking musical barriers as well as busting more than a few guitars and drums sets during their live performances. The group soon became known as the rowdy rebels of rock and roll, yet the band's early years were more than just exercises in rebellious extravagance.
The band gave birth to a powerhouse of energy, talents, influences and enthusiasm. Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, Rodger Daltry and John Entwistle had collective skills that were upfront and undeniable on every level. Original compositions pushed musical boundaries and explored new territories that mapped a course other bands would follow.

* The Union CD was a joint effort that started out as two separate Yes bands writing their own material for their own individual projects. Each band had some members from earlier Yes. Upon learning that two separate projects were underway, the group Yes, and the group Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe, decided to transform their projects into a collaborative effort-- a joint "UNION" tour soon followed. Interesting to note is the fact that according to interviews, Union was their least favorite effort and became a labor of stress in contrast to a labor of love. I have followed the music of Yes since the late 1960s and believe Union provides the listener true inspiration from start to finish-- possibly the best Yes recording of the 90's.
