Ray Fenwick Playing Through the Changes

In a career spanning eight decades, guitarist Ray Fenwick has played pop, prog, hard rock, rhythm and blues, rock-and-roll, and just about every genre conceivable.  He's curated a new 3-CD compendium for Cherry Red's Lemon imprint appropriately entitled Playing Through the Changes: Anthology 1964-2020, bringing together 61 tracks (some previously unreleased and new to CD) on which his guitar is heard alongside The Spencer Davis Group, Roger Glover, Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale, Bo Diddley,

Graham Bonnet Solo Albums Box

Perhaps no label this holiday season has offered such a bonanza of box sets as Cherry Red.  Yesterday, we looked at Evelyn "Champagne" King's The RCA Albums 1977-1985.  Today, we're turning the spotlight onto Graham Bonnet's Solo Albums 1974-1982! Cherry Red's Hear No Evil (HNE) imprint has long been a home for archival releases from singer Graham Bonnet of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Alcatrazz, and The Michael Schenker Group.  Now, HNE has brought together Bonnet's first four solo albums,

Graham Bonnet Reel to Real

Cherry Red's Hear No Evil (HNE) imprint has been revisiting the career of English rocker Graham Bonnet in an extensive program encompassing studio, live and vault material.  The recent release of Flying Not Falling: 1991-1999, expanding three albums from that period, has just been followed up with another 3-CD clamshell box set, Reel to Real: The Archives 1987-1992. The first disc of Reel to Real premieres 12 previously unreleased studio tracks.  The first three tracks were recorded in 1987

Graham Bonnet Flying Not Falling

The Graham Bonnet story has been well-chronicled by Cherry Red's Hear No Evil imprint via expanded editions of the English rocker's classic albums as well as a career-spanning anthology.  Late in 2017, HNE continued its Bonnet series with a new 3-CD compact clamshell box set.  Flying Not Falling: 1991-1999 expands three albums from the versatile vocalist: The Day I Went Mad (1999), Underground (1997), and Here Comes the Night (1991). Bonnet's career has ranged from pop to hard rock over six

Humble Pie Official Bootleg 1

Cherry Red's Hear No Evil imprint has a pair of three-disc box sets aimed at hard rock aficionados collecting rare and previously unreleased material from two longtime rock heroes: Graham Bonnet and the gang in Humble Pie. Graham Bonnet's Anthology follows past reissues from HNE for the full-throated vocalist including a trio of pop/R&B albums predating his tenure with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, and 1981's Line-Up from his post-Rainbow days.  Anthology spans the entirety of Bonnet's

Graham Bonnet Back Row

Cherry Red's Hear No Evil Recordings imprint has returned to the catalogue of Graham Bonnet with a pair of recent releases.  Before stepping into the role vacated by Ronnie James Dio in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, the big-voiced Bonnet had cut a number of records in a pop/R&B, rather than a hard rock, vein.  HNE has reissued and expanded the vocalist's never-before-released 1974 DJM album Back Row in the Stalls on one CD, as well as Graham Bonnet (1977) and No Bad Habits (1978) on a

Graham Bonnet Line Up

Graham Bonnet rose to prominence filling the large shoes of Ronnie James Dio when he replaced Dio in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.  Bonnet only recorded one album with Rainbow, but with two U.K. Top 10 singles and a Top 10 placement on the LP chart too, Down to Earth was an unqualified success.  Following his time with Blackmore's band, Bonnet resumed his solo career with 1981's Line-Up.  Cherry Red's hard rock-oriented Hear No Evil label has recently reissued Line-Up with four bonus tracks as
