LP Lookback: Steve Winwood, 1986’s ‘Back In The High Life’ – Forgotten Gem?
ByKenneth Corsini May 22, 2026
As I do every year in March, in 2026 I compiled our “40 year look back” playlist, this year to (obviously) 1986. It’s where I pick one song off different albums from the year in question. Those playlists are a real “snapshot in time,” if you will. One of the albums that I chose a…

Box Set Review: Eagles, ‘One Of These Nights (Deluxe Edition) – Original LP + 1975 Concert Recording
ByKenneth Corsini May 14, 2026May 14, 2026
I have to confess, I don’t buy every single box set that I review. Sure, I’d love to, but then I’d be living alone in a two bedroom apartment… one room for me, one for my box sets. The Rock Chick would exile me back to bachelorhood. Maybe I’d get a cat. But when I…

Artists Who Have Curiously Never Put Out A Career-Spanning Box Set?
ByKenneth Corsini May 1, 2026May 2, 2026
*Photo taken by your intrepid blogger I found myself wandering the house this week, looking for any distraction I could find from the rather grim stuff happening in the world right now.
