Scott Holiday on the hit-and-run accident that inspired his new solo album (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A not-so-funny but impactful thing happened to Rival Sons’ Scott Holiday on the way to making his first solo album, the just-released Topology. The album was already well underway last October 17, when the guitarist spent an evening hanging out with friends at a bar about a block away from his house in Huntington Beach, California. “Not getting obliterated or going too big or anything. Just hanging out and having a social night,” Holiday explains. Shortly after midnight, he hopped on his electri
Robin Trower on the daily practice that keeps his creative streak going at 81: “I know when a guitar line is gonna be good because it rings a bell in my body” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A great many descriptors have been used for Robin Trower and his playing since he emerged as part of Procol Harum back in 1967. With his signature Stratocaster and endless vocabulary of solos, the London-born guitarist, songwriter and bandleader has released more than three dozen studio albums as a principal artist — including the short-lived BLT trio with Jack Bruce and drummer Bill Lordan — plus session work for Bruce and Bryan Ferry. During the past decade alone, he’s delivered eight albums,
Steve Howe recalls his strangest guest sessions, from Lou Reed to Ella Fitzgerald: “There were people like Mick Jagger standing there” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In addition to his own bands — Yes, Asia, GTR, the Syndicate, the In Crowd/Tomorrow — Steve Howe has served as a hired gun for a number of other artists, appearing on albums for the sometimes incongruous likes of Queen, Bee Gees, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Dixie Dregs, Dream Theater, William Shatner and others. One of his earliest, meanwhile, was on Lou Reed, the self-titled debut album by the iconoclastic New York rocker fresh out of the Velvet Underground. Both he and Yes keyboardist Rick Wake
“We were gonna be the American Led Zeppelin — and he couldn’t take it.” Sammy Hagar on the torment that kept Ronnie Montrose from the ultimate success (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sammy Hagar certainly gets his due as a singer, frontman, band leader, songwriter and, of course, liquor and restaurant entrepreneur. That he’s also a solid guitar player is often lost in the mix. That, however, could have something to do with those who have stood beside him throughout his 54-year recording career. The Red Rocker came to prominence in 1973 as the frontman for Montrose, collaborating with Ronnie Montrose over the course of two albums — Montrose and Paper Money — and favorites suc
“It’s gonna take some time to get me back to normal.” Yes guitarist Steve Howe on the operation that postponed the Fragile tour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yes guitarist Steve Howe is happy to entertain inquiries about his health — especially after postponing the group’s tour plans during the spring to undergo “an essential operation that requires recovery time.” But he also doesn’t have a lot to say about it. “I don’t want to dwell on it too much; if I start talking I’ll go somewhere I don’t want to go,” he tells us via Zoom from his home in the English countryside. “I had this major thing and it was pretty difficult, and it’s gonna take some time
