One of this genre’s pioneers, Greg Allman, believes the term “Southern Rock” is redundant. “Sort of like ‘rock rock.’” After all, rock & roll began as southern music. There’d be no rock without the blues, created in the Mississippi Delta by the original bluesmen, like Charlie Patton of Dockery Farms, and Hazlehurst’s Robert Johnson, who, legend has it, sold his soul to the devil to learn to play the blues guitar, down where Highway 49 intersects with US 61.

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 144 AUGUST 30TH, 2021 I and so many of us are saddened by the passing of Nanci Griffith at 68. Some singers are good, some are truly great, and the rare few can move you to tears. Nanci Griffith was one of the rare few. Charlie Watts is no longer with us. To say we lost a giant (at age 80) would be to seriously understate the man’s titanic talent and influence. Watts was the Rolling Stones' driving force, a rock-steady powerhouse, yet one who also played with an inimitable sense of jazz-informed swing. The rock world will never again be the same. We are honored to announce a new contributor: Ed Kwok. Ed spent his formative years taking things apart. He subsequently trained as an electrical engineer at Imperial College London in the 1980s, and got caught up in the high-end wave. His early ambition was to be an analog audio designer, but he ended up in digital military electronics. Ed then retired from engineering and relocated back to Hong Kong to concentrate on a financial career. He enjoys the computer audio space, considering it partly science and partly high-end art. Ed founded the Asia Audio Society (asiaaudiosoc.com) with some like-minded friends, with the aim of crystallizing the essence of high-end audio reproduction. In this issue: Ray Chelstowski interviews Stephen Duffy, whose post-Duran Duran band the Hawks has been an undiscovered gem – until now. J.I. Agnew begins an interview series with Martin Theophilus and the remarkable Museum of Magnetic Sound Recording.

  • 1 New Compilation from Southern Rock Great 38
    1 NEW COMPILATION FROM SOUTHERN ROCK GREAT 38 SPECIAL FEATURES THE VERY BEST OF THE A&M YEARS Two decades before Kid Rock added hip-hop to the mix, 38 Special ventured beyond guitar jams to bring hard rock and pop to Southern Rock. Though preceded and overshadowed by the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd--all three hailed from the cradle of Dixie Rock, Jacksonville, Florida--38 Special proved as durable, creative and rockin’ as its more famous cousins. 38 Special: The Very Best Of The A&M Years (1977-1988) (A&M/UME), released April 15, 2003, features 18 digitally remastered original recordings, including all of the band’s biggest and best-loved tracks--eight of them Top 40 pop hits, a total of 11 Top 40 Album Rockers. 38 Special was formed by singer Donnie Van Zant (younger brother of Skynyrd’s Ronnie, older brother of current Skynyrd frontman Johnny) and guitarist-singer Don Barnes. Its Southern boogie debuted on a 1977 self-titled album, followed by 1978’s Special Delivery (with “Take Me Back”). But 38 Special shot the lights out when it added pop to its country-fried blues rock on 1979’s Rockin’ Into The Night, with “Stone Cold Believer” and the just-missed-the-Top 40 title track, the first of several hits penned with Chicagoan Jim Peterik (Ides Of March, Survivor). Platinum status arrived with 1981’s Wild-Eyed Southern Boys. With muscle and melody, “Hold On Loosely” reached #27 pop/#3 Album Rock. Both the title track and “Fantasy Girl” went Top 40 Album Rock.
