Apparently Peter Daltrey was part of the 1960s psychedelic group Kaleidoscope.

So, apparently Ian Danter is a television personality.

After Deep Purple found themselves without a guitarist once again when Joe Satriani left, they quickly settled on Steve Morse and he's been there ever since.

Deep Purple's second album was often the least critically acclaimed of the first three, perhaps rightfully so, perhaps not.

Deep Purple's third album, simply titled “Deep Purple,” was arguably the strongest of the first three, and most of this Eagle re-issue is of digitally remastered quality, done in 2000.

The Deep Purple mkI albums are as important as any other in the history of the band. 

One of several live and studio re-issues to come from Eagle this summer, is this two-disc set that was originally released in 1980, and a couple of times since.

Recorded live in Stockholm 1970, this Eagle re-issue is of a historic show that was bootlegged several times over before it was finally released in the late eighties.

Eagle Records is certainly making Christmas come early this year. 

There has been much said about the different lineups of Deep Purple but for my money, the Mk 3 lineup stands up as their best. 

As a major fan of Deep Purple, I am approaching this with a more informative angle, to not only shed any overly biased factors, but explain a few things from within the Purple frame of mind.

This live album from Deep Purple finds the band in a killer performance.

Best known for his work with Squeeze, Chris Difford’s latest release at times sounds like that group.

I’ve been wanting to review Dire Straits at MSJ for a while. The band have always played a classy form of rock music.

We Come in Peace is D.O.A's 14th studio album in their 35 year history of putting out fine hardcore punk rock.

When you put this CD in you might think you’ve been magically transported back to the 1930s.

Here’s a killer live album from The Doobie Brothers. It’s amazing how many hits these guys had.

This is a modern folk disc with many musical flavors to delight the listener.

Drunken Prayer are a unique band with a sound that has been described as a “holy blues,” but on their second release they go even further into blues and even some rock, as well.

I’ve always found it fascinating how some musicians can take sounds that are decidedly left of center and make them seem “catchy.” Dare Dukes shows himself to be such a person. 

There’s a wide range of sounds on this disc. For my money, the disc works best when Dunn doesn’t reach too much for a pop sound.

There is some great music here.

I reviewed the video companion product to this in the previous issue of Music Street Journal and really enjoyed it.

This is first album from the Dwarves since 2004, and it’s a great disc. These guys show how punk rock should sound.
