Cat's in the Cradle: Cherry Red Celebrates Harry Chapin on "Story Book: The Elektra Albums 1972-1978"

May 10, 2022 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

Harry Chapin Story Book

It's fair to say that when Harry Chapin's debut single "Taxi" peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100, the ballad didn't sound like much else on the chart.  The top spot was held by Sammy Davis, Jr.'s bouncy ode to "The Candy Man" while the upper reaches also featured gospel-tinged R&B (The Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There"), pristine pop (Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue," Carpenters' "It's Going to Take Some Time"), driving funk (Billy Preston's "Outa-Space"), raunchy rock-and-roll

This Time It's For Real: Cleveland International Unearths Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes' "Live in Cleveland '77"

May 6, 2022 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Southside Johnny Live in Cleveland 77

Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes' ties with Cleveland ran deep.  The New Jersey group, which burst onto the scene with 1976's roof-raising LP I Don't Want to Go Home, was supported early on by Cleveland audiences and radio.  The big, brassy band led by Southside Johnny Lyon and championed by "Miami Steve" Van Zandt was signed to Epic by A&R man Steve Popovich, now-legendary record man and founder of Cleveland International Records.  In 2017, the frontman remembered Popovich in an

Brian Wilson Long Promised Road OST

Long Promised Road, director Brent Wilson's 2021 documentary film about Beach Boys visionary Brian Wilson (no relation) was described by Variety as "affectionate and satisfying...sentimental at times but often stirringly insightful."  The Hollywood Reporter called it "a portrait of friendship and love as much as it's about music."  American Songwriter noted that it was "flush with pathos and poignancy...a remarkable documentary that is, at once, both heartbreaking and heartwarming."  By

He Shall Be a Good Man: Elton John's 'Madman Across the Water' Gets Deluxe Edition

April 21, 2022 By Mike Duquette 12 Comments

Madman 50

Elton John's breathtaking piano pop conjured up powerful images thanks to the lyrics of Bernie Taupin - but the duo were often writing about things before they experienced them. The Americana of 1970's Tumbleweed Connection, for instance, was indeed a fantasy; only within the year would Elton get his first taste of America - and the results powered his next studio album, 1971's appropriately-titled Madman Across the Water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rUarpBrfLI That album will be the

Spinning the Wheel: George Michael's 'Older' Prepped for Box Set Edition

Older deluxe

The album George Michael called his "greatest moment" will get the deluxe treatment this summer: his third album, 1996's Older. Though the record came off a six-year gap between albums, the late British pop star was hardly idle. In the years since 1990's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, he'd embarked on a tour comprised of mostly cover songs and had a few major critical and commercial hits with some, too; chiefly, the chart-topping "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (a duet with its
