In Memoriam: Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025)
What went into your mind when you heard the news that Ozzy Osbourne passed away? Was it the bat? The dove? The tousled visage cooking breakfast in his kitchen? The bewildered man in a mansion, navigating contrived-for-camera family dramas to audiences in the millions? Or the wounded soul defiantly bringing the crowd one last bellow from hell, less than two weeks ago, with his Black Sabbath brethren (complete once more) from the stage at Villa Park in Birmingham, where the group once

Review: Robin Trower, "For Earth Below: 50th Anniversary Edition"
1975's For Earth Below proved a turning point for Robin Trower. The ex-Procol Harum guitarist's third solo set, it introduced drummer Bill Lordan to Trower's power trio which also included singer-bassist James Dewar. Building on the success of its predecessor, Bridge of Sighs, the album became Trower's most successful in the United States and solidified his place in the guitar-hero pantheon.
