Something 'Groovy': New Hendrix Box Revisits The Band Of Gypsys
Jimi Hendrix's Fillmore East concerts of December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970 have become the stuff of legend. With Billy Cox and Buddy Miles matching him in intensity and power, Hendrix pushed the envelope of heavy rock, R&B, and funk. The original 1970 release of Band of Gypsys offered a tantalizing taste of the concerts, and over the years other songs from the concerts have emerged on various releases (most recently 2016's Machine Gun: The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/69). Now,
A Good Feelin' to Know: Cherry Red, Hear No Evil Collect Poco Albums on "The Epic Years 1972-1976"

Review: The Beatles, "Abbey Road: Anniversary Edition"
I. Once There Was a Way to Get Back Home By the opening days of 1969, it was clear that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were four very different people, temperamentally and artistically. Their lives were taking them in different directions and threatening to pull them apart from the group that made them internationally famous. The Beatles, a.k.a. The White Album, had made high art out of those very differences and - surprising no one - was another triumph for the

America's Gerry Beckley Returns with New Solo Album "Five Mile Road"

The film, co-starring Lea Thompson as Howard's...uh...human love interest, was scored by Barry and re-scored in part by composer Sylvester LeVay. Part of Barry's score ended up on the second side of a
