LP Review: Van Morrison, “Keep Me Singing” Rock’s Curmudgeon’s Understated, Rootsy Return
ByKenneth Corsini October 6, 2016January 27, 2026
I have to admit upfront that the Rock Chick hates Van Morrison with the same passionate distaste she usually reserves for the Eagles. Oh well, no two people’s musical tastes are ever going to match up perfectly… with the Rock Chick and I, we’re a Venn Diagram… with significant overlap, thank God. I couldn’t be…

The Cult: Hidden City Live, Kansas City
ByKenneth Corsini September 30, 2016September 30, 2016
Editor’s Note: While blogging about drinking and rock and roll is OK, blogging while drinking and listening to rock and roll isn’t always great… We’ll try to restrain Mr. B&V from his drunken, ecstatic post-concert ramblings, like those below, but we can’t guarantee anything… Man, what a shitty week I was having… and then live…

BourbonAndVinyl List of Bands Who Sadly, Should Call It Quits
ByKenneth Corsini September 29, 2016January 27, 2026
In a post a few weeks ago I mused about a proposed SuperGroup comprised of members of famous bands who were left out of some of these big reunion tours. I cited GnR and Black Sabbath just to name a few. In one of the comments back to me, Moutly58 commented that I should do…

Bruce Springsteen: Sixty-Seven But On A Roll!
ByKenneth Corsini September 24, 2016January 27, 2026
I have to say a big, belated Happy Birthday to Mr. Bruce Springsteen. The man turned 67 yesterday and shows no signs of slowing down. Having seen Bruce with the “legendary” E Street Band in April, I’m stunned he’s 67. Only Mick Jagger seems to defy age more than Bruce Springsteen. And you have to…

On The Mellow End: Norah Jones & Van Morrison Release New Singles, LPs On The Way
ByKenneth Corsini September 17, 2016January 27, 2026
I’m as much of a “Hard Rock” person as anybody, but every now and then you need to turn it down a bit. Actually I’m just a fan of music in general, I just mostly talk about the rockers. There are a couple of new songs, preceding albums, that have come out lately that I…

Metallica’s “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” Bonus Tracks: They piss me off again
ByKenneth Corsini September 16, 2016January 27, 2026
I was a huge fan of Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” but in a strange move the band compressed the music so much, in order to increase the volume, it sometimes make my speakers crack. I wasn’t as pissed as the general public, but it was annoying. When you “compress” the music, in layman’s terms, you digitally…

LP Review: The Beatles, “Live At The Hollywood Bowl”
ByKenneth Corsini September 11, 2016January 27, 2026
Long before BourbonAndVinyl, long before I collected hundreds of albums and CDs, long before my music obsession, there was my brother’s stereo… I had an old black-and-white TV in my room, and a clock radio but I only turned the clock radio on if I was listening to the Royals or the Chiefs. I never…

LP Review: The Dead Daises, “Make Some Noise”
ByKenneth Corsini August 30, 2016January 27, 2026
Maybe it was the release of Metallica’s hard, heavy metal single, “Hardwired” that put me in a hard rock/heavy metal mood, but all weekend long I found myself searching out something loud to listen to. I needed some “rawk!” Maybe something a little less punishingly hard than the excellent “Hardwired…” I needed some 80’s style…

Metallica’s New Single: “Hardwired,” a Breakneck Badass Return
ByKenneth Corsini August 26, 2016January 27, 2026
Ah, Metallica. Is there a band who inspired so much loyalty in their early days and so much ire in their later career? I wasn’t in the first wave of Metallica fans who flocked to the band’s anger and alienation over the course of their brilliant first four albums: “Kill ‘Em All,” “Ride the Lightning,”…

“City Lights” – Single From The White Stripes/Jack White “Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016”
ByKenneth Corsini August 22, 2016January 27, 2026
As anybody whose read B&V before knows, I’m a huge fan of archival releases. If an artist has anything in the vault, I’m typically interested. Be it Bob Dylan’s official “Bootleg” releases, Springsteen’s “Tracks” or Van Morrison’s “Philosopher’s Stone,” count me in. Sometimes there’s a hidden gem in there, something the artist for whatever odd…
