End of the week and we all need to rock. And what better than some vintage 80s metal with the late Ozzy Osbourne and the late Randy Rhoads. What…Ozzy is still alive? You can’t be serious? Yes, I have seen the TV show. Surely that is just momentum. He looks dead… Anyway, while a young Eddie [...]

The legendary Richard Thompson released another album a few months ago, Sweet Warrior, which is a fine platter especially for us guitar heads. While his acoustic work is sublime, it is great to hear Thommo get stuck back into his fingers wrenching electrical notes. Thommo is also supposed to be close to releasing the first volume [...]

The return of Friday night bootleg. I do intend to be eclectic but this week, I’m choosing one from the lads and it was a concert I was at. AC/DC at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on January 31, 2001. It was one hell of a show. I screamed myself hoarse, drank a lot of beer (to [...]

The Beasts of Bourbon have a new album Little Animals in the stores. It is nice to see Tex growing old with some elements of disgrace (for a moment I thought he was going forever down the sensitive singer/songwriter road).

This song is a lot of fun so [...]

The final bootleg of the year. This is a lovely acoustic slide version of Silent Night (well two versions with some audience chit chat in the middle) taken from a John Fahey show in 1984. I hope you enjoy this track and the Friday Night Bootlegs over the past few months. A Merry Christmas to you [...]

The great Magic Sam Magic Sam was one of the greats of Chicago blues. His soaring voice and frenetic guitar had him destined to break out during the great blues revival of the 1960s. However a heart attack in December 1969 meant that Magic Sam was never destined to achieve the popularity and longevity of his [...]

It is a hot early summer Friday night so perfect for some blistering rock’n'roll. Danko Jones lives the rock’n'roll dream and is one of the best live performers around. This song, sometimes known as Top of the Mountain is a centrepiece of his live sets. It has never been recorded any albums for good reason. [...]
