Okay – I have seen it – The Best – a band with Joe Walsh and Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter on guitars, John Entwhistle on Bass, Simon Phillips on drums and a few assorted others . . . but this totally passed me by. Clip here was recorded in Japan in 1990 . . . Joe […]
Bar Scott is a singer, songwriter, and writer who has recorded seven albums of original songs, and has published one book.

Alligator Records recently announced their 45th Annivesary Compilation will be released on June 10, 2016. Alligator has been one of our consistant new music pipelines and it seems appropriate to share a little of their history with our listeners.
