Description
John Fogerty has been rocking and stomping his way across select cities in Australia for the first time since 1998, showing excited audiences and press there why he remains one of THE most dynamic and important figures in American music. Fogerty is on a one-month tour "down under", in support of his recently released and acclaimed career retrospective THE LONG ROAD HOME (Fantasy).

James Robinson:
As founder of Favored Nations, the legendary Steve Vai has built a thriving creative home for guitar legends dedicated to fostering the art of their axe, most recently adding James Robinson to its ever diversifying roster. With the release of James Robinson's stylistically expansive label debut Colours, Favored Nations shows a deep commitment to the future of the instrument.
One listen to the Bay Area native's virtuosity, emotionally compelling melodies and rhythmically eclectic grooves which range from Latin, Funk, Middle Eastern and straightforward jazz will no doubt inspire guitar fans the world over to echo Larry Carlton’s sentiments upon hearing Robinson’s music for the first time: "James is an extraordinary talent that deserves to be heard". Robinson, who counts Carlton as one of his boyhood guitar idols, met Vai through Carlton, and Vai was immediately hooked: "He's phenomenal!"
Robinson released two widely acclaimed independent CDs, his self-titled 1997 debut (which featured electric and steel string in addition to acoustic) and 2000's Tumbling Into The Sky.
In 2003, the year he originally released Colours independently, Robinson won San Francisco radio station KKSF's Bay Area Artist Contest. As a result, the album's opening track, flamenco flavored "Tales of Change," was featured on the KKSF CD Sampler for AIDS Relief, Volume 14 ...

The Silver Mine
(Mr. D's Keith Richards Home Page): As founding member and principal guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Richard occupies a unique place in rock's pantheon. Although not a recognized frontman, his incisive rhythm work, initially modelled on Chuck Berry, has provided the template for many of his group's finest moments. He became the partner of Mick Jagger when a need for original material arose, and although their early efforts betrayed an immaturity, their work flourished on completing 'The Last Time' in 1965. The first in a series of excellent singles, including '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Get Off Of My Cloud' (both 1965) and 'Paint It Black' (1966), Richards' riffs provided the cornerstone to a sound which relied on atmosphere, rather than melody, for effect. Despite this, his name was attached toToday's Pop Symphony, wherein the Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra performed contemporary pop hits under his 'direction'. The project was doubtlessly inspired by manager Andrew Loog Oldham, as it mirrored his own similar ventures, but the album was nonetheless the first to bear Richards' name without the Stones. The group survived what was, for the Stones, an awkward psychedelic era (and its attendant arrests) by reconnecting with R&B, which had provided their initial inspiration. Richard's riffs for 'Jumping Jack Flash' (1968), 'Honky Tonk Women' (1969) and 'Brown Sugar' (1971) were instantly recognizable and their international success enhanced an artistically fertile period. Richard's drug dependency, which would bedevil the guitarist throughout the 70s, blighted his private life, but musically there continued to be several highlights including Exile On Main Street, a much-lauded album recorded at his French villa, and Some Girls, the group's controversial post-punk set ...

Peter Frampton was one of the biggest arena rock stars of the '70s, making his name largely on the double-LP concert set Frampton Comes Alive.
Frampton was one of several '70s rock artists (Kiss, Cheap Trick, etc.) to break through to a wide audience with a live album; much like the others, he'd recorded several previous albums and built a following through extensive touring, in the process honing an exciting concert presence. That helped Frampton Comes Alive become the best-selling live album of all time (up to that point), with eventual sales of over six million units in the U.S. and over 16 million copies worldwide. Frampton had paid nearly a decade's worth of dues before reaching superstardom, and unfortunately for him, it proved to be short-lived -- bad luck and a failure to duplicate the phenomenon of Frampton Comes Alive conspired to halt his career momentum.
Peter Frampton was born April 22, 1950, in the town of Beckenham in Kent. He started playing guitar at age eight, and took several years of classical lessons. In his early teens, he played with rock & roll combos like the Little Ravens, the Trubeats, and the Preachers, the latter of which were managed by the Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman and appeared on the TV show Ready, Steady, Go. In 1966, Frampton dropped out of school to join the mod-pop group the Herd, where he got his first taste of success. The Herd scored several British hits over 1967-1968, and Frampton's youthful good looks made him a teen idol, earning him the tag the "Face of 1968" from the music press. In 1969, Frampton left the Herd to form the harder-rocking Humble Pie with erstwhile Small Faces frontman Steve Marriott. Although Humble Pie was poised for a breakthrough after two years of touring, Frampton departed in 1971 over differences in musical direction, and decided to start a solo career ...
