ByKenneth Corsini October 18, 2024October 18, 2024
I woke up this glorious fall morning thinking, “Man, it’s Friday, it’s beautiful outside, it just might be a perfect day?” Just when I thought today couldn’t get any better, I remembered Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers released Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition) today. The Deluxe Edition boasts 2 CDs, the first has the original…

LP Review: Cheap Trick’s ‘We’re All Alright!’ – Pure, Rock Delight
ByKenneth Corsini July 4, 2017January 30, 2026
I know what you’re thinking… Cheap Trick? Really? Many of you are probably amazed they’re still around, although just last year they were inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. And many others of you are thinking, Cheap Trick, why bother? But if you’re like me, you remember the latter half of the 70s when…

BourbonAndVinyl iPod Playlist: 4th of July, American Independence Day
ByKenneth Corsini June 29, 2017January 30, 2026
Ah, the 4th of July… When I was a kid, we’d travel down to southeast Kansas to visit my grandparents. Outside of town, there was a rock quarry or the remnants of a coal strip-mining site with a huge piles of rocks. It was like a desolate alien landscape from a bad sci-fi movie. We’d…

Review: Prince’s ‘Purple Rain – Deluxe Collector’s Edition’ – Is It Worth It?
ByKenneth Corsini June 24, 2017January 30, 2026
Like most white, suburban kids coming of age in the early 80s I was blissfully unaware of who Prince was. All of that changed my freshman year in college. Mid-year I transferred colleges for the oldest and stupidest of reasons, a girlfriend. I spent the back half of my freshman year at the University of…

Queens Of The Stone Age Release New Single, “The Way You Used To Do,” And Save Rock n Roll
ByKenneth Corsini June 19, 2017January 30, 2026
“But it doesn’t matter now Just come and love me how Like the way you used to do Yeah” Well, just as I went on record as saying Dan Auerbach’s light, strummy tune, “Shine On Me” was my “jam,” as my daughter would say, for the summer, The Queens Of the Stone Age come storming…

LP Review: Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie; By Any Other Name, Still Fleetwood Mac
ByKenneth Corsini June 10, 2017January 30, 2026
Well, at least this time I spelled Lindsey Buckingham’s first name correctly, with an “e” and not an “a,” with my apologies to Mr. Buckingham for screwing that spelling up in my review of the first single… Ah, Fleetwood Mac… In the last half of the 70s, they were huge. It’s impossible to overstate this……

Concert Review: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Kansas City, 6/2/2017
ByKenneth Corsini June 3, 2017January 30, 2026
*image from the Kansas City Star It was a bit of a rough May… First we lost Chris Cornell and then we lost Gregg Allman. I was beginning to feel that numb sense of despair I’d felt for much of 2016. But then I remembered on Friday, June 2nd, I had tickets to see Tom…

Gregg Allman, The Blues/Rock Legend, RIP: The Midnight Ride Is Sadly Over
ByKenneth Corsini May 28, 2017January 30, 2026
*photo shamelessly stolen from the internet and likely copyrighted Man, has it been a tough couple of weeks. It started it off well enough. I saw Soundgarden two weeks ago today and they were spectacular. I left hopeful to hear a new album from those guys sometime this year. Then things took a dark turn….

B&V iPod Playlist: Chris Cornell
ByKenneth Corsini May 26, 2017January 30, 2026
I don’t know about you, but here at BourbonAndVinyl we’re still pretty shell-shocked over the news about Chris Cornell’s passing. I don’t know why this one has hit me so hard. Perhaps it’s because I had just seen the man perform with Soundgarden three nights prior. Perhaps it’s because his music has always meant so…
