    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] ZZ TOP THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1970 – 1990 VÖ: 7. Juni ZZ Top hoch 10! Alle ZZ Top-Alben von 1970-1990 jetzt in einer Box! Seit ihrem First Album aus dem Jahr 1971 gehören ZZ TOP zu den Ikonen der Rockmusik. Nicht nur aufgrund ihrer exorbitanten Bärte, die zu ihrem Markenzeichen wurden, sondern vor allem wegen ihres ur-texanischen Humors und der Verbindung von kräftigen Blues-Riffs und den geschickt eingesetzten Synthesizern. Heute, über 30 Jahre später und nach Millionen verkaufter Alben, sind ZZ TOP eine der wenigen klassischen Rockbands, die die Jahrzehnte im Original- Line-Up überstanden haben: Billy Gibbons (Vocals), Dusty Hill (Bass) und Frank Beard (Drums) rocken weiter wie eh und je. Mit ZZ Top – The Studio Albums 1970-1990 liegt eine 10-CD-Box vor, die es wirklich in sich hat, nämlich alle zehn Album-Klassiker aus den Warner Bros.-Jahren. Das aufwändige Box-Set erscheint in einer stabilen Clamshell-Verpackung, in der jedes Album in einem Pappschuber steckt, der dem Artwork des jeweiligen Original-Vinylcovers entspricht. Selbst Tre Hombres und Tejas befinden sich in einem Mini-Klappcover, das eine Replik des Originals darstellt. Spektakulär ist zudem die Tatsache, dass zum ersten Mal die Original-Audio-Tape-Versionen von drei der Alben auf CD erhältlich sind, nämlich von First Album, Rio Grande Mud und Tejas. Auch die Original-Master von Tres Hombres und Fandango sind in der Box enthalten! Die Mitte der achtziger Jahre erschienenen

    Issue 142 AUGUST 2ND, 2021 Is there a reader among us who doesn’t dig ZZ Top? We mourn the passing of Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill (72), bassist, vocalist and keyboardist for the tres hombres. Blending blues, boogie, bone-crushing rock, born-for-MTV visuals, humor and outrageousness – they once took a passel of live animals on stage as part of their 1976 – 1977 Worldwide Texas Tour – Hill, drummer Frank Beard and guitarist Billy F. Gibbons have scorched stages worldwide. As a friend said, “it’s amazing how just three guys could make that much sound.” Rest in peace, Mr. Hill. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gets inspired by the music of Renaissance composer William Byrd, and understands The Animals. Wayne Robins reviews Native Sons, the superb new album from Los Lobos. Ray Chelstowski interviews The Immediate Family, featuring studio legends Waddy Wachtel, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel and others, in an exclusive video interview. I offer up more confessions of a record collector. Tom Gibbs finds much to like in some new SACD discs. John Seetoo winds up his coverage of the Audio Engineering Society’s Spring 2021 AES show. Ken Sander travels through an alternate California reality. WL Woodward continues his series on troubadour Tom Waits. Russ Welton interviews cellist Jo Quail, who takes a unique approach to the instrument. In another article, he ponders what's needed for sustaining creativity. Adrian Wu looks at more of his favorite analog recordings. Cliff Chenfeld turns us on to some outstanding new music in his latest Be Here Now column.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
