Ritchie Blackmore claims that there are two or three of him. He even has a hospital surveillance video to prove it. The police visited him recently and asked if he was the man pictured in the video and if he was, was he feeling okay? Noting that perhaps having people impersonate you is ‘one […]
Ever hear of Peggy James? I am willing to bet after her new album Nothing In Between drops in late June, she won’t be such a well kept secret. James is a Milwaukee singer/songwriter who has opened for the likes of Iris Dement, da BoDeans, and Salt Creek. The album, her fourth, was produced, engineered, […]
Perhaps you have seen the cover of the album Goodnight Vienna. It pays homage to the 1951 Sci-fi classic movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. There in the doorway of the prototypical 1950’s flying saucer stands the nine-foot tall robot Gort. Next to him, with helmet tucked under the arm of his silvery […]

Stratospheerius is : Joe Deninzon-electric violin/lead vocals Aurelien Budynek-guitar Jamie Bishop-bass/vocals Lucianna Padmore-drums
Like many other publications, Classic Rock Magazine ends each year with an issue compiling the best and worst of the previous year. In the past, I purchased my monthly copy of CRM from a bookstore and avoided this issue assuming it would be a rehash of articles from issues I had already seen. With the […]
It has been much too long since we presented a good old fashioned album review in this space so this would seem to be just as good a time as any to do just that. With that said, let me warn readers that this won’t be a one album review. No, we are going […]
