Just Like Joe: Meek's "Tea Chest Tapes" Series Welcomes Heinz, Glenda Collins, More
In a short, tumultuous life and career, Joe Meek (1929-1967) moved pop into the space age with his innovative use of the studio. The producer-engineer experimented with overdubs, reverb, and sampling in an era when it wasn't commonplace; his 1962 composition and production of "Telstar" for The Tornados became the first record by a British rock-and-roll band to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Hot 100. The Ivor Novello Award winner crossed musical paths with such artists as Tom Jones, Petula Clark,
Greatest Hits Watch: New Compilations Coming from Bush, The Blasters and Johnny Marr

Brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, drummer Bill Bateman, and bassist John Bazz blended muscular rock appropriate to the punk era with rockabilly, early rock-and-roll, and a rootsy sensibility that sounds

The Hills Are Alive! 'The Sound of Music' Goes Super Deluxe for the Holidays

The production starring Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel was described by The New York Times' Brooks Atkinson as a "bountiful musical drama" with an "endless fund of cheerful melodies." It won five Tony Awards (besting stiff competition from Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, and

The era-defining single is just one of the many high points of DeShannon's extraordinary legacy; Jackie toured with The Beatles, penned a rock and roll classic with the oft-covered "When You Walk in the Room," co-wrote and introduced the anthemic "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," anticipated the '70s

Review: Van Morrison, "His Band and the Street Choir," Jaco Pastorius' "Word of Mouth" in Rhino Hi-Fi
Don't want to discuss it/I think it's time for a change... Van Morrison's 1967 debut album for Bert Berns' Bang Records, Blowin' Your Mind, came close to living up to its title with the lovably breezy "Brown-Eyed Girl" nestled alongside more challenging fare such as "T.B.
