Review: Joe Bonamassa Hosts ‘B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100’ – Star Studded Blues Jam “Celebrating The King Of The Blues”
ByKenneth Corsini February 9, 2026
Guitar genius Joe Bonamassa has pulled together a host of musicians to celebrate what would have been the 100th birthday of blues legend B.B. King with the release of B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, chalk full of blues guitar power and stars galore. I’ve always loved B.B. King, although I was only honored to see him…

Bands Who Sold Out: Rockers In The 70s Who Went Soft In The 80s – The Bands Who Lost Me…
ByKenneth Corsini February 5, 2026February 9, 2026
We’re in the dog days of our miserable “winter of discontent,” if I may borrow that phrase from Shakespeare. Cold, grey days that go on seemingly endlessly. Can’t really go outside, everything is still blanketed in dirty, soot-covered snow. Typically this time of year sends me into some deep rock n roll ruminations. Last year…

Review: Lucinda Williams’ New LP ‘World’s Gone Wrong’ – A Blues Rock “State Of The Union”
ByKenneth Corsini January 31, 2026January 31, 2026
Lucinda Williams has returned with a spectacular new album, World’s Gone Wrong, and it’s chock full of rocking – and for lack of a better description – socially conscious tracks. There’s nothing as overt as Springsteen’s spot-on new protest tune, “Streets Of Minneapolis.” Instead these tracks are all about every day people and the difficulties life is…

Review: Van Morrison’s New Blues Covers -Steeped LP, ‘Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge’
ByKenneth Corsini January 26, 2026January 26, 2026
Venerable rock legend and B&V favorite Van Morrison has returned less than a year after the spectacular Remembering Now – which can only be described as a sensational comeback after a few years “in the wilderness” – with Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge. I was wondering how Van had returned so quickly with a new…

Review: Soul Legend Al Green Drops 4-Track EP, ‘Everybody Hurts’ – Oh, Yes!
ByKenneth Corsini January 23, 2026
Last night, while the Rock Chick and I were watching the Australian Open, venerable soul-legend Al Green dropped a 4-song EP entitled Everybody Hurts. The four songs are all cover songs – and admittedly we’ve heard some version of two of them before – from The Bee Gees, R.E.M., Lou Reed solo, and Lou Reed with the…

Boston’s Classic Debut Album Turns 50 This Year – We Look Back, Even Tho They Said Not To
ByKenneth Corsini January 13, 2026
“Turned on some music to start my day, I lost myself in a familiar song, I closed my eyes and I slipped away…” Boston, “More Than A Feeling” (a track that could be our theme song) We started off 2026 as we usually do, by looking back 50 years to the rock n roll of 1976…

ByKenneth Corsini January 9, 2026January 9, 2026
“The good times never end…” – The Black Crowes, “Pharmacy Chronicles” We had to wait 15 years between the Black Crowes 2009 LP Before The Frost…Until The Freeze and 2024’s Happiness Bastards. That was mostly because they broke up, but that feels like splitting hairs, right? Today I woke up to the wonderful surprise that the Crowes will…
