The next album in the series of Dio Deluxe Editions is about to be released – on March 4, 2013. Last year we got the first three Dio studio albums (plus the first live one, Intermission). I got a lot of emails asking when the next one was coming out, and today I got a […]

Snakecharmer Review
January 22, 2013 by
I live in the United States, and given my age, I was a “musical child of the 80’s”. I was 15 in 1980, and music of that era is what dominated my rock listening style. Like a lot of Americans, I was introduced to Whitesnake through the Slide it In album, and that crystallized […]
New Album Called “13”, due in June
January 12, 2013 by
Well, got some news tonight, including one piece I’m glad I don’t have to keep a secret anymore (the drummer). I’ll just get to it, since you don’t want to hear my blathering…
Snakecharmer
December 27, 2012 by
Next month we will be getting an album of new material from Snakecharmer (that’s also the album’s name), a band made up of some former Whitesnake members (Micky Moody & Neil Murray), as well as a Black Sabbath connection (Neil again, and Adam Wakeman). I should have some more promotional material available shortly, but […]
Deep Purple Playlist
December 26, 2012 by
I had a request or two to post my playlist for Deep Purple. As it has been known, I tend to want to do these things the RIGHT WAY, which means to cover all eras and all albums. My Deep Purple list is similar to the list I did for Ronnie James Dio’s career here […]
Tony’s Book in Paperback
December 10, 2012 by
A year ago (give or take) Tony Iommi’s autobiography came out. I wrote about it a bunch, even had a reporter on side for one of the US Book signings (seems funny to say I have a reporter – haha). You can read all of that here. As with most books, some time down […]
An Angel is Missing – A Dio Career Retrospective
November 30, 2012 by
If you’ve been following me for awhile (and especially on Twitter), you’ll know I like to post playlists. Given my overall music collection is so gigantic, I generally have a playlist for every band I like. I’ve posted several of them to twitter. However, this afternoon when I was thinking about Ronnie James Dio, I […]

Black Friday Giveaway Winners
November 27, 2012 by
Over the weekend, I ran a contest where I was giving away a whole slew of prizes. Over the years I’ve run this site, I’ve gotten friendly with several folks at various record labels, and to that, they send me things to use as giveaways for prizes. However, from time to time, the giveaways […]
