  • First Concert Memories #16: The Black Crowes with Jason of All Things Blues & Southern Rock Podcast

    First Concert Memories #16: The Black Crowes with Jason of All Things Blues & Southern Rock Podcast
    Nov 1 2024
    We welcome our friend and Pantheon Podcasts brother Jason from All Things Blues & Southern Rock to First Concert Memories 16 to talk about the first night he saw The Black Crowes in 1999. We all share our individual first Crowes experiences - Action saw them a month after Jason did in 1999 and Mac B. caught them in 1995 opening for the Dead - and delve into what makes the band so great live. In 1999, The Black Crowes had signed with Sony and were touring on By Your Side (released January 12, 1999). Produced by Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, all guitar parts were played by Rich Robinson but the live band picked up Audley Freed on guitar and Sven Pipien on bass. And according to Jason, they made a hell of a lot of noise! Hear from Jason why seeing this band live for the first time prompted him to go see them more than 20x and how it still fuels his passion to co-host All Things Blues & Southern Rock. The tumultuous Robinson Brothers can deliver live and it's fun to hear insight from a big fan at this time in the band's career. The Wolf was slow to warm to the Crowes as he felt that they were anointed by the industry without asking his opinion. But seeing them live made him a believer as it has for millions around the world. Thanks Jason - check out All Things Blues & Souther Rock Podcast!

  • UAWIL #205: Bryan Adams - Reckless

    UAWIL #205: Bryan Adams - Reckless
    Oct 31 2024
    We at The Wolf love hard rock, heavy metal, prog rock, classic rock and 80s MTV. While Bryan Adams may match a couple of those categories, we can't say that he was one of our very favorites. Because we were bombarded with him from 1983-86 on US radio and MTV and because girls seemed to like him (maybe his music too), he just didn't do it for us. However, his 5th album released in 1984, Reckless, boasts hit after hit like Heaven, Summer of '69, Run To You, Somebody, and It's Only Love. So as it turns 40 on November 5, we thought it would be a good idea to bring in friend to the show and Canadian rock guru Chris from My Rock N Roll Heaven to give us his perspective. 1984 not only saw the release of Reckless but the launch of Canadian MTV-type station Much Music which not only played videos but had to play a certain percentage of Canadian artists. That helped propel the album to become the first diamond selling album (1,000,000 in sales for Canada) in Canada by a Canadian artist. Aided in the songwriting by Jim Vallance and backed up on guitar by long time collaborator Keith Scott, Bryan had huge success in his home country, in the US and around the globe. The videos all had a theme and featured the same actor (Lysette Anthony) which helped create an image for Adams in the US. We go track x track and enlist Chris's Canadian perspective to see why this album was so popular and how it stands the test of time.

  • UAWIL #204: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Beach Party Movie Review

    UAWIL #204: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Beach Party Movie Review
    Oct 24 2024
    We've reviewed a couple of rock movies that had a limited theatrical run - Rush - Cinema Strangiato was episode 42 while The Wolf lived in England and Dio - Dreamers Never Die was covered on ep 98 while he was living in Amsterdam. And while we had wanted to do a double episode on Tom Petty's Wildflowers at 30 with the later released double disc alongside the newly unearthed Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Beach Party film, we felt that episode would be too long an in-depth. So because the recently "found" Cameron Crowe movie which captures the boys in 1983 around the release of the Long After Dark record was having a limited showing, we thought we'd concentrate on that. And we're so glad we did! When we reviewed Long After Dark on episode 64, we found that we loved it and that it was often overlooked and overshadowed by bigger selling albums with more radio hits. However, the melodies and heartfelt lyrics on that album are part of the larger philosophy of Tom and the band and this movie helped expose that. Though it aired once on MTV, the channel decided it wasn't a good fit for their programming at the time so for years it was unavailable. The limited release on October 17 & 20 gave fans the chance to see it for the first time and included 19 extra minutes with Cameron Crowe, Adria Petty (Tom's daughter) some insight from Jimmy Iovine and showed the band not only killing it onstage but filming the You Got Lucky video (which Tom & Cameron called a film). To hear earnest and honest remarks from Tom was so refreshing and made us realize how much we miss him. The live clips not only show a tight band and band leader who wants to create the best show he possibly can but some amazing guitars from Tom and Mike Campbell. It was a rare glimpse with Tom at his home and talking to Cameron Crowe about why and how he makes music. The scene where Tom said he's the same guy at home as on the stage was so brilliant - he was never putting on an act, he was authentic and that's why his music will stand the test of time. Hopefully they release this on DVD/Streaming so more people can enjoy it but if you missed it, here's our take!
