January 5, 2026

Listing all musicians Prairie Prince worked with is nigh on impossible but mentioning just a few of those in whose company he played over the last five decades – people like Nicky Hopkins, George Harrison and Mick Taylor, to mention just a single session of many the American drummer took part in – may give a measure of his talents.

December 30, 2025

As little as Nina Hagen may be associated with spiritual music, her 2009 album “Personal Jesus” provided a deep insight into the German singer’s ability to deliver emotions of different caliber to feelings dredged by her punk roots and admired by her many international followers.
