Vinyl Vault

Lets get the "way back machine" programmed for 1969 today and feature some good old classic Grand Funk Railroad.  A brand new band then, still trying to find their chops.  That means loud and raw - before the big poppy hits came.  It's M

The psychedelic tinged blues rock of Robin Trower gets on the Vault today.  C'mon by around 5:20pm for the classic Too Rolling Stoned, a great example of why the Bridge of Sighs album still inspires young players today..

Believe it or not, there are Who tracks from Who's Next album that DON'T get on the air.  We've all heard Won't Get Fooled Again, Bargain, Behind Blue Eyes and Baba O'Riley ad nauseam, so it really can be a pleasure to hear other things from this classic set,

I've always love Roger Taylor's voice on some of the harder things that Queen did.  His highlight from A Night At The Opera was I'm In Love With My Car.  Not such a silly title if you're from around here.  I'm already

Everybody has their own favorite Zep album and mine is the third.  I'm not thinking it's their best I just think it's different.  Plus it's an underdog album and I root for the underdogs!  It's their po

I would say "serious" Moody Blues on today's Vault, but all their stuff was pretty much serious, right?  Well, this one really is.  Remember Legend Of A Mind?  What do you get when you mix drugs, out of body experiences and progressive rock together?  Whoa.  S

I was never a fan of BTO until I heard today's Vinyl Vault track on the air one night back in the 1970's.  I was shocked to learn who it was.  That still didn't make me a fan but I sure had new found respect for them.  Bachman rarely showed his real chops on guitar with all the simple poppy radio hits they had over the y

Down On Me by Janis Joplin has been a fan fave for years, even back when she was still around.  It was the first single on her first album with Big Brother, which barely missed the top 40 charts in 1967.  It was played at most Janis concerts so finding a good live version to include on her greatest hits album wasn't too difficult.  Let's

Last Saturday (3/3/12) we lost one of the most influential guitarists of our time.  Known mostly for his blistering work with Montrose, Ronnie had other sides that came out during a long and varied career, incl

Progressive rockers from the get go, Queen eventually slid into a more commercial direction that made them superstars during the 1980's.  Compare Keep Yourself Alive from the first one in 1973 to A

1960's blues rockers Canned Heat Go Up The Country today with a taste of the Woodstock era.  It's an early single by the boys that led the way for a couple years of success that surprised everyone, especially them.  If you can handle the guy's voice, you were probably there.  The hippies understood

Before Rush found the successful formula of their watered down sci-fi rock in the 1980's, there was a little 1970's band from Canada that just liked it raw and loud.  Very loud, as today's vinyl vault track will prove.  Let's get back to Fly By Night for the lead off track, Anthem.  With or without earplugs, around 5:20pm.  Out of town?  Listen live
