What You See Is What You Get: Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Bring Stoney and Meatloaf to CD with "Everything Under the Sun: The Motown Recordings"

March 18, 2022 By The Second Disc 7 Comments

Stoney and Meatloaf Everything Under the Sun The Motown Recordings

Meat Loaf exploded to superstardom like a Bat Out of Hell with his 1977 solo debut.  But the roots of his success could be traced to his short but blazing tenure with Motown.  In 1970, the young performer with the big frame and even bigger voice was garnering rave reviews in the Detroit company of Hair alongside Shaun Murphy, a.k.a. Stoney, a powerhouse blues singer who stopped the show nightly with her incendiary rendition of "Easy to Be Hard."  Motown quickly saw the potential of this

Open My Eyes: Ace Celebrates Todd Rundgren and Gus Dudgeon in Label's Producers Series

March 17, 2022 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

Studio Wizardry of Todd Rundgren

In recent weeks, Ace Records has made two new additions to its ongoing Producers Series, and both titles spotlight the versatility of the respective talents, Todd Rundgren and Gus Dudgeon. The Studio Wizardry of Todd Rundgren is, in many senses, an update of Rhino's 1992 compilation An Elpee's Worth of Productions.  Like that set, it paints a portrait of the singer-songwriter largely in service of others' songs, though a handful of his own compositions appear, too.  Ace's collection spans

Michael Nesmith And The Hits Just Keep On Comin 50th

"I realized early on that Red was the magic carpet," the late Michael Nesmith observed to this author in 2020 of his longtime collaborator Orville "Red" Rhodes.  "I began to realize this guy is on another level...He's playing music up at the highest jazz levels, but he's playing all by himself.  I thought it was some of the most inspired and celestial pedal steel guitar music -which was like an impossibility, but it really was."  Perhaps no release better epitomizes the intuitive, almost
