Joey Molland Be True to Yourself

As the only living member of the original Badfinger quartet, it's fallen to Joey Molland to keep the torch burning brightly for his old band.  But in addition to touring as Joey Molland's Badfinger, the Liverpool-born singer-songwriter-guitarist/rock and roll survivor has recorded a number of solo albums since 1984.  Last year, he appeared in the well-received tour of It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles' White Album alongside such talents as Todd Rundgren, Micky Dolenz,

Following five albums for The Beatles' Apple label (including one as The Iveys in 1969), the hitmaking band behind "Come and Get It" and "Day After Day" decamped their fab home for the Warner Bros. label.  The quartet of Pete Ham,
