Micky Dolenz Talks With Peter Noone: An Actor’s Studio for Musicians

Winchester
Micky Dolenz of The Monkees and Peter Noone of UK rock group Herman’s Hermits share a lot of rock history. Both broke out in the 1960s and have continued performing ever since.

Hozier Takes Music World to Church With Unique Sound, Music (video)

Winchester
When Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” first came out, it was unlike anything else on the radio, and that’s a really good thing. “Church” just shook things up and became an instant radio hit; and, not too mention a pretty emotional video in black and white. I got his album and loved it as well. With totally original songs like “Jackie Wilson” and “Someone New” and our favorite, “From Eden,” he approached his music in a whole new and original manner....

George Harrison: A Look Back at His Career on His 72nd Birthday (video)

Winchester
George Harrison was unquestionably the Beatle I really wanted to meet. Who could forget his early songs like “Taxman” and “Blue Jay Way,” or his lasting contribution to human rights. He would have been 72 today had he survive lung cancer that took his life in 2001 at the age of 58. I met John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, but Harrison eluded me. He was full of intrigue and complexity and almost dared you to like him. His brilliant 1970 Concert For Bangladesh set the standard for charity shows. Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Jim Keltner, Jesse Ed Davis, Klaus Vorman, half-of Badfinger, Ringo, Billy Preston and horn-men Tom Scott and Jim Horn were there, led by George....

James Blake, London Grammar Among 2014’s Best Music Makers

Winchester
Some of the most sumptuous music in quite some time was produced this year from some of my favorite singers and bands like London Grammar, James Blake, Cold Play and Maroon 5. The music industry may be dying, but not the music. Be it the continuing female-Brit influence (London Grammar; Ella Henderson) to more jam-bands like My Morning Jacket and Alabama Shakes, it’s been a very good year indeed for everything but album sales....
