Hollywood Bowl 100

2022 marks 100 years of The Hollywood Bowl.  The famous amphitheater nestled in the Hollywood hills has hosted luminaries of every genre of music from classical to rock in its instantly familiar bandshell (actually two bandshells, as the first one from 1929 was demolished in 2003 and replaced with a larger model).  The Bowl has been featured in movies including the original A Star Is Born, Double Indemnity, Xanadu, and Beaches and cartoons starring Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, and The Pink

May 12, 2022 By Joe Marchese 4 Comments

Everly Brothers Hey Doll Baby

"I had the unique pleasure of knowing Phil Everly as a kid and the honor of getting to know Don Everly a bit this year as we prepared this compilation," writes Adria Petty in the liner notes to The Everly Brothers' new collection, Hey Doll Baby.  As Tom Petty's daughter, Adria was a first-hand witness to rock and roll history, and that experience has informed her curation of this 17-track compendium.  Hey Doll Baby was first issued by Warner Records on vinyl in April for Record Store Day as a

How Does It Feel to Be Back: An Interview with Jeremy Holiday of Iconoclassic Records

March 31, 2022 By Mike Duquette 7 Comments

JH Banner

Jeremy Holiday remembers it well: at four years old, he got his first "pop" record, Daryl Hall & John Oates' 1980 blockbuster Voices. That record set him on an incredible path that readers of The Second Disc will no doubt recognize: the journey to a fruitful career in catalogue music. For nearly 25 years, Holiday maintained an incredible tenure in the major label reissue business, working at BMG's Buddha and Heritage imprints, surviving a 2005 merger with Sony Music (and BMG's divestment

This Note's for You: Neil Young's Latest Albums Box Includes Rare 'Eldorado' EP

March 18, 2022 By The Second Disc 8 Comments

Neil Young Official Release 4

A new box set will bring together three of Neil Young's '80s albums, along with a rare EP making its widest release yet. Official Release Series Volume 4, available April 29, runs the gamut of Young's eclectic output in the '80s - likely because it only covers his releases on his longtime home base of Reprise Records. (From 1982 to 1987, Young signed instead to Geffen Records.) The '80s were a time of transition and experimentation for Young - much of it done on Geffen, though sparks of that
