Review: Gregg Allman Band, ‘One Night In D.C., May 15 1984’ – A Live Vault Release From A Fallow Time For The Allmans…
ByKenneth Corsini June 27, 2025
I like to mix things up here at B&V, relatively speaking, and I know I just posted about a live album – the Pretenders’ Kick Em Where It Hurts – but I found myself this week entranced by yet another live album, this one from the vaults, the Gregg Allman Band’s One Night In D.C.,…

Review: Pretenders, ‘Kick ‘Em Where It Hurts’ (Live) – Still Making A Glorious Racket
ByKenneth Corsini June 24, 2025
The Pretenders just released a new live album (a double live album on vinyl!) entitled Kick Em Where It Hurts. The album artwork, with pink lettering running down the left side and green letters along the bottom, recalls Elvis Presley’s debut album later also mimicked by the Clash on London Calling. That all seems pretty…

Review: Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts, ‘Talkin’ To The Trees’ – An Uneven Yet Solid Album
ByKenneth Corsini June 19, 2025June 20, 2025
Neil Young has recently released a brand new studio album, Talkin’ To The Trees. On this outing, he’s subbed out Crazy Horse and has brought in a “new-ish” band, the Chrome Hearts. The Chrome Hearts are basically Promise of the Real (who have been Neil’s on and off backup band for a while): Micah Nelson…

Review: Van Morrison, ‘Remembering Now’ – A Late Career Gem, After A Rough Few Years
ByKenneth Corsini June 16, 2025July 18, 2025
On Van Morrison’s fabulous new album, Remembering Now, he has a song entitled, “Back To Writing Love Songs,” and can I be the first to say, “Thank Heaven!” I have to admit to you, I’d given up on Van. He’s always been a cranky curmudgeon but the pandemic sent him off the deep end… not…

A Tough Week In Rock N Roll: We Lost Both Sly Stone & Brian Wilson, RIP
ByKenneth Corsini June 13, 2025August 25, 2025
*Image of Sly & The Family Stone taken from Wikipedia, likely copyrighted It was a tough week for rock n roll. We lost two 60s rock n roll legends, Sly Stone (aka Sly Stewart) of Sly and the Family Stone and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. It was strange to have all that happen…

Playlist: In Honor Of “The Summer Of Love,” We Go Outside Our Wheelhouse, Songs From…1967
ByKenneth Corsini June 11, 2025June 12, 2025
“Turn on, tune in, drop out” – Timothy Leary, 1967 I don’t why, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the 60s. I was but a babe in diapers and missed out on that whole counterculture scene but I like to think I’d have been a hippy, much to my father’s chagrin. I guess…

New Song: Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs Return With Wistful “Heart Of The Heartland”
ByKenneth Corsini June 6, 2025June 6, 2025
I was surprised to see on social media that Mike Campbell and his intrepid Dirty Knobs (guitarist Jason Sinay, bassist Lance Morrison and former Heartbreaker Steve Ferrone on drums) were releasing a new album this year. I was surprised but certainly delighted. I’ve been a big fan of this band since their debut album, 2020’s…

Review: ‘Heart Of Gold, The Songs Of Neil Young, Vol 1’ – A Nice Tribute LP Benefiting The Bridge School (feat. Eddie Vedder, Fiona Apple & Others)
ByKenneth Corsini June 3, 2025June 3, 2025
I don’t know what rock I was living under lately – I have been listening to late period Doors and a lot of single-LP live albums of late and was rather immersed in that, I guess – but I was completely unaware that in late April there was a wonderful Neil Young tribute album released…

Beyond “Double Live” Albums, Let’s Look At Single-LP Live Albums – Our Favorites
ByKenneth Corsini June 1, 2025June 1, 2025
*Crappy picture of live LPs from Townshend, Hendrix, Elton, Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, Faces/Rod, and the Blues Brothers by your intrepid blogger who moonlights as a very bad photographer While my listening of late has been very 1985-centric what with both Dire Straits (Brothers In Arms) and INXS (Listen Like Thieves) releasing deluxe editions of…
