DR. FEELGOOD’s Robert Kane Puts Out Solo Debut

September 28, 2025

It was not his first band, but early ’90s saw Robert Kane front an incarnation of THE ANIMALS led by Hilton Valentine and John Steel, a stint to which the singer dedicated five years to in, as it turned out, preparation for another gig, one with DR. FEELGOOD. He joined the trio of instrumentalists, who had worked with Lee Brilleaux, in 1999 and stayed with the pub rock legends ever since, releasing a couple studio records and a few reports from the stage. What the warbler hasn’t done over five decades of his career was a solo album – and he corrected that lapse a couple of days ago.

Carl Perkins’s Lost Album Unearthed For Release

September 26, 2025

Carl Perkins may have left this mortal coil 27 years ago, yet his legacy lives on, which is hardly surprising given how many of the American artist’s songs form a core of rock ‘n’ roll vocabulary. Carl’s catalogue is well-known, so it’s rather amazing that there can be something unheard in his vaults – and there is, indeed. Or was – because October 24th will see release of a follow-up to the guest-infested “Go Cat Go!” from 1996.

Gary Numan Issues Second Concert Package In A Year

September 26, 2025

Gary Numan has always stood out against other electronic rock artists in terms of using real musicians and natural instruments on his platters and onstage. It’s logical, but also staggering, then, that his discography includes so many concert albums, from 1979’s “Living Ornaments” to “A Perfect Circle” which saw the light of day in July 2025. The latter documented the veteran’s performance at Wembley in 2022, yet on April 15th, 2023 Gary played his thousandth show, so again, it’s logical but also staggering to find there will be a new Numan recording, done in London, released rather soon.

It’s been almost two decades since Jerome Froese left his father‘s ensemble to concentrate on a solo career that would see this multi-instrumentalist go beyond TANGERINE DREAM brand of progressive rock and his previous efforts as a DJ. Quite a few albums later, the German artist has fully crystallized a method he called guitartronica, the method in the heart of the Berlin experimentalist’s forthcoming record.

Danny Thompson Passed Away

September 24, 2025

It wasn’t false modesty that defined Danny Thompson‘s view of his capabilities; it was a measure of a genius that the English musician – who died on September 23rd, aged 86 – refused to see the profundity of what he created. A virtuoso whose mastery of contrabass seemed unequaled in folk rock circles and anchored a plethora of classic platters in most exquisite ways, Thompson also showed how sensual and sympathetic the electric instrument could be, which made him more than a mere accompanist to such unique talents as Nick Drake, John Martyn and Sandy Denny, to mention but three of those Danny worked with.
