Review: Simon and Garfunkel, "The Complete Columbia Albums Collection" and "The Concert in Central Park"
When Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel took the stage on April 24, 2010 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, it's doubtful that many in the audience knew they were witnessing the end of one chapter in the story of Simon & Garfunkel. That concert marked the final time that the famous duo have performed together to date, but over five years later, the specter of Simon & Garfunkel still looms large over both men. It's no surprise; the question of a reunion cropped up almost

The Ides of March Celebrate 50 Years with "Last Band Standing" Box Set
"Beware the ides of March," goes the famous admonition. Thankfully, Jim Peterik, Larry Millas, Bob Bergland and Mike Borch didn't heed the warning.

These rock and roll survivors and local legends around the Chicago scene have recently assembled a definitive box set
Review: The Pretenders CD/DVD Reissue Series
Chrissie Hynde, Pete Farndon, James Honeyman Scott and Martin Chambers may have taken the name of The Pretenders, but anybody paying attention soon realized that there was nothing "pretend" about this band - not its brash amalgam of British and American styles (Hynde was a U.S. émigré; the other three were Brits), not its unabashedly punk approach to a classic rock sound, not its effortless, cool swagger. 1979's Pretenders launched the band on a journey that continues to this day. It's been a

Be So Lucky: PWL/Cherry Red Reissues Kylie Minogue’s First Four Albums
When Kylie Minogue stepped onto a stage in August of 1986 to perform “I’ve Got You Babe” and “The Loco-Motion” at a benefit concert, she probably didn’t realize it would help to propel her, within one year, on a path to become one of the biggest pop sensations in the world. By the end of 1987, her first single was released by PWL and climbed within several weeks to No. 1 in the UK, beginning a long string of hits with the label in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Cherry Red and PWL have
Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Mike Bloomfield, Dr. John Featured On "Soundstage Blues Summit"
Muddy Waters (1913-1983) was frequently considered the father of Chicago blues. Born in Mississippi and discovered there in 1941 by musicologist Alan Lomax, he moved to the Windy City in 1943 and proceeded to refine and redefine the sound of the blues, inspiring not just future artists in the genre but, significantly, those who later created rock-and-roll. In July 1974, some of the country’s premier blues artists joined together onstage in Chicago to celebrate the Muddy Waters legacy with the
