ByKenneth Corsini October 18, 2025October 18, 2025
Chrissie Hynde has dropped her latest solo album – from a solo career I only recently became aware of (shame on me) – and this time she’s brought a bunch of “pals” to sing with her.

ByKenneth Corsini September 22, 2025September 23, 2025
Around a week and a half ago, the Grateful Dead released Blues For Allah – 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. I’m on record as saying I’m not a Dead Head, although I’ve had friends and known people who were into the Dead since high school. Since I don’t have that Dead Head background I like to take…
