I have three words of advice to ANY band…I don’t care who you are…that wants to have a reunion. DON’T. DO. IT. Eagles broke up in 1981 amid huge differences of opinions, over inflated egos, and being bigger and more famous than any of them could handle…even Joe Walsh. They had always been critically hammered but loved by their fans. They oh so famously announced when they split that they would play together again “when hell freezes over”. So, really…who didn’t see this coming? Don Henley and Glenn Frey spent 13 years hating each other from afar, but apparently that hate wasn’t paying the bills, so they decided to MAKE hell freeze over. Granted, there is no JD Souther here, no Randy Meisner…and barely a trace of rock to be found.
The first four tracks are new studio recordings, one of which (“Get Over It”) was a minor hit, and another, “Love Will Keep Us Alive”, wasn’t written by any of the band members, but did establish them as top players in the always boring genre of adult contemporary. Beginning with “Tequila Sunrise”, the tracks are recorded live at Burbank Sound Studios. All are Eagles oldies (with the exception of Henley’s sappy “New York Minute” from his solo album End Of The Innocence), and all, except for “Life In The Fast Lane”, are dreary remakes of their hit ballads. The high note, “Hotel California”, never rocks, but features impeccable harmonies and perfect sound, bringing back to mind that the 1981 album Eagles Live was likely the most overdubbed live album in history. This album announces that the band is back, and that they are most certainly NOT here to rock you, ever again. Watch the DVD (it features a cleverly separated version of the always oversung “Seven Bridges Road”) as it’s very nice looking and sounds great on your surround system. Stick with the older albums, if you need to. [First added to this chart: 05/01/2016]

2009 – NEW WEST
Produced By TERRY LICKONA
1. Perfect Timing
2. Heathens
3. A Ghost To Most
4. The Righteous Path
5. I’m Sorry Huston
6. 3 Dimes Down
7. Puttin’ People On The Moon
8. Space City
9. The Living Bubba
10. Zip City
11. 18 Wheels Of Love
12. Let There Be Rock
13. Marry Me
Aside from Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, Drive-By Truckers has always been a fluid band with ever changing personnel. Their longest continuous lineup was the one that played on this, their second live album, Live From Austin, TX. This album does not feature Jason Isbell (who left in 2007), but it does do a magnificent job of capturing what the Truckers are like in a live setting. The package includes a CD and a DVD of the show, which relies heavily on tracks from the band’s most recent at the time studio album, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark. The three guitar interplay between Hood, Cooley and John Neff (who also provides some fine moments on pedal steel) is great, as is the bass playing of Shonna Tucker. Hood shows his fine stage presence and storytelling ability, while Cooley is just that...tall, cool, and a guy who over the years has turned into a hell of a songwriter.
While many of the songs here are newer, the centerpiece of the album is an almost 12 minute version of Hood’s “18 Wheels Of Love” from their debut album, Gangstabilly. Hood also shines on “Puttin’ People On The Moon” and “The Living Bubba”. Cooley’s highlights are the excellent “A Ghost To Most”, “Zip City”, and the acoustic opener “Perfect Timing”. Tucker sings one, the fine and underrated “I’m Sorry Huston”. The energy is all here, along with the songs that make this band such a concert favorite. But you have to get this with the DVD, which makes the CD almost redundant. The Truckers are still at it, even though Tucker and Neff are gone, bringing the band down to two guitars, but they still do not disappoint. This live album stands alongside the rest of their output very well, and should be a must have for fans…and a good introduction for those who haven’t caught on to DBT just yet.

1997-LOST ART
Produced By JOHN BIRD & ULTRAVIOLET EYE
1. Heroin Geek
2. How Soon Is Now?
3. Caterpillar
4. Courtney Love Song
5. 100 Million Stupid Excuses
6. Girl With A Bruise
7. Voudou Doll
8. Dysfunctional Families
9. Goodbye, Humboldt
10. Godzilla
11. She Forgot My...Broken Hand
12. Ganglia Hour
13. On My Side
14. Breakaway Republic Of Southern Loewenstein (Version)
15. Smoke On The Water
16. SST Superstar: Charles Manson Closing Credits (Theme)
One night in Hermosa Beach, I met a guy named Jeff Farley of April's Dad at an open mic night. He wanted to audition to be the keyboard player in my band. That didn't work out, but he did introduce me to a strange duo called Ultraviolet Eye. They are fairly famous in Belgium, and have been heard mostly on compilation albums and college movie soundtracks. Jeff Charreaux and Roy Appleman have a definite sense of humor, and a style of their own. Heroin Geek (I don't think there was ever a movie) contains a few great moments. The title track is top notch, but the best songs are the covers. "How Soon Is Now" is a fine Smiths cover. "Godzilla" literally melds the Blue Oyster Cult songs and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" into one, and "Smoke On The Water" is sung in...German?
Unfortunately, the album is longer than it should be, and the Eye runs out of ideas kind of quickly. All in all, a quirky but not great indie release with a few shining moments...just not enough of them. [First added to this chart: 05/02/2026]

1980-CHERRY RED
Produced By NORM & EAST BAY RAY
1. Kill The Poor
2. Forward To Death
3. When Ya Get Drafted
4. Let’s Lynch The Landlord
5. Drug Me
6. Your Emotions
7. Chemical Warfare
8. California Uber Alles
9. I Kill Children
10. Stealing People’s Mail
11. Funland At The Beach
12. Ill In The Head
13. Holiday In Cambodia
14. Viva Las Vegas
Relentlessly fast, unwaveringly political and snotty as hell are some of the best things about the best of punk, and Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, the debut album of American punk band Dead Kennedys, has all three with ease. For these reasons, the band and the album are viewed as highly important documents in punk history. But, the album does come with flaws, and can be a difficult listen because of those flaws. The star of the show is singer Jello Biafra, a man with political convictions reminiscent of those of the Sex Pistols, American style. Because of the political nature of the songs, it can sound a bit dated, but some of the messages (“Kill The Poor”) still resonate today. Biafra is dead on with some of these songs, the best of their career…”When Ya Get Drafted”, “Chemical Warfare”, and “California Uber Alles” are some of the best punk songs ever written.
So, what goes wrong here? Mostly, it’s the music. Relentlessly fast can be a blessing, but in this case, it’s more of a curse. It’s especially glaring when Biafra isn’t singing…the band eschews any kind of emotion for what is simply raw speed, and it makes for a tedious listen at times. As excellent as many of these songs are, they lose a lot of their power by being imply hammered out at lightning speed without any kind of variation. It’s unfortunate, because this could have been the greatest of all American punk albums. Instead, you’ll need to take this in small doses or it might just put you to sleep. They only made three more albums before disbanding in 1986, with none of the three having the songwriting that’s featured here. Overall, this is the Dead Kennedys album to have, a landmark of American punk, but an album with flaws that almost kill the experience. Almost. [First added to this chart: 03/18/2026]

2005 – GEFFEN
Produced By GARY ASHLEY, ANDY MCKAIE & FLOYD LIEBERMAN
1. Early In The Morning (With Van Morrison)
2. Tired Of Your Jive (with Billy F. Gibbons)
3. The Thrill Is Gone (With Eric Clapton)
4. Need Your Love So Bad (With Sheryl Crow)
5. Ain’t Nobody Home (With Daryl Hall)
6. Hummingbird (With John Mayer)
7. All Over Again (With Mark Knopfler)
8. Drivin’ Wheel (With Glenn Frey)
9. There Must Be A Better World Somewhere (With Gloria Estafan)
10. Never Make Your Move Too Soo (With Roger Daltrey)
11. Funny How Times Slips Away (With Bobby Bland)
12. Rock This House (With Elton John)
What would be better than playing on a tribute album to one of your absolute favorite artists? Easy…it would be if that artist played along with you. That’s what happened on this 2005 album. B.B. King was turning 80 years old, and for his birthday, he made an album with twelve of his biggest (and most famous) fans. As you might expect, the results are mixed. First of all…King sounds really good for 80. Not in his prime by any means, but not surprising that he would go on to live another ten years. On “The Thrill Is Gone”, Clapton knows to let King have the stage. Van Morrison gets it. As does Mark Knopfler. And Gloria Estefan fits in surprisingly well. And, of course, Bobby Bland is his own kind of blues legend and blends great with King. Those are the highlights. Along with Elton’s piano and vocal on the rocking closer.
The rest doesn’t fare as well. King’s guitar sounds out of tune in spots. To be truthful, Glenn Frey and Sheryl Crow are dreadful and have no business being here at all. The rest of the vocal duets just don’t work. King outsings the likes of Gibbons, Hall and Daltrey. The John Mayer song is okay until Mayer turns it into something decidedly not B.B. King. The best bits are when there is guitar interplay. Unfortunately, there are far too few guitar slingers on this disc, and far too many stars who wanted a vocal duet with a legend. The bands are fine, the arrangements are good, but it’s the guest performances that are sporadic. This would have been better with more guitarists and fewer singers who don’t really get the blues. Truly a mixed bag that’s average at best. [First added to this chart: 06/16/2013]

1980 – MCA
Produced By MARK AVSEC
1. Ah! Leah!
2. I Can’t Hear You
3. Joking
4. Shock Treatment
5. Back On The Streets
6. Agnes
7. You’re Only Dreaming
8. She’s So Wild
9. Daddy Don’t Live Here Anymore
10. Too Young To Love
Donnie Iris (Dominic Ierace) played with The Jaggerz and with Wild Cherry, but he’s best remembered for “Ah! Leah!”. The first song on his first solo album, Back On The Streets, was quite a hit. It’s also, for me, the least interesting song on this weird and somehow wonderful little record. I admit, I have a soft spot for this. It’s filled with fun and different songs, stinging and punching rock guitar, a wall of vocals, songs that are about things you wouldn’t really think to write about, and some of the cheesiest keyboards in history. I love this album so much. It’s the high point of Iris’ long career, and it’s part of the strange life I lived as a 20 year old trying to navigate living in the wastelands of Wyoming. It’s one of the least me sounding records ever made…and it’s a perfect fit.
“Ah! Leah” is a terrific song. But the rest steals the show for me. This geeky guy who looks like Buddy Holly shouldn’t rock this hard, but he does. “I Can’t Hear You” and “Joking” are about saying the wrong things to your loved one. “Shock Treatment” is really about just that. “Back On The Streets” is a glorious heavy rocker. “Agnes” is maybe the coolest and weirdest rocker ever made. “She’s So Wild” has the greatest chorus…and “Too Young To Love” is over the top drama that actually works. “Ah! Leah!”? Eh. That’s just a nice pop song. What I strongly recommend is that after the first song, put on your headphones and crank the rest of Back On The Streets. What a terrific lost gem from the dawn of the strangest of musical decades. A strange and glorious rock and roll snapshot. I will always love Back On The Streets.

1969 – A&M
Produced By DENNY CORDELL
1. Feeling Alright
2. Bye Bye Blackbird
3. Change In Louise
4. Marjorine
5. Just Like A Woman
6. Do I Still Figure In Your Life?

12. Something’s Coming On
Joe Cocker came from nowhere in 1969 as the great white hope of those who wanted to grow up and be like Ray Charles. He bravely took on The Beatles with the title track, made Traffic’s “Feeling Alright” his own song, and ended both sides of the album with courageous takes on Dylan classics “Just Like A Woman” and “I Shall Be Released”. Cocker was a sight to see, for sure, but he also had the voice and the soul to back it up. Not everything works…his takes on “Bye Bye Blackbird” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” are not up to par, and there are also three Cocker originals (written with Chris Stainton) that show just why Cocker’s legacy was as a great cover artist.
As for the friends Cocker got a little help from…the list of players here is mighty impressive. The opening guitar on the title track (and on half the album) is Jimmy Page. Steve Winwood is here on 2 songs, and you can also hear the likes of Henry McCullough, Albert Lee, Merry Clayton, and some of the best session players in the world. The hits here led to Cocker’s appearance at Woodstock, and his association with Leon Russell. The great songs here balance out the lesser tracks, and are still worth hearing today. But the album as a whole is somewhat uneven. Still…this is where it all started for Cocker, one of the greatest interpreters of the rock era. There were plenty of big moments to come, for sure.
