  • 430 - Iain Matthews - New Album, How Much Is Enough
    Nov 15 2024
    Iain Matthews fronted the influential British band, Fairport Convention for their first three albums before embarking on a solo career that’s lasted almost 60 years. With Matthews Southern Comfort he scored a hit cover version of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” in 1970, had a solo hit in 1979 with “Shake It,” and the Eagles’ borrowed his arrangement of the Steve Young song, “Seven Bridges Road” for their live album.

    After saying he was done making solo albums, here he is with How Much is Enough, on Sunset Boulevard Records. Whether this is his last, who knows? But it’s damn good to hear him again.

  • 429 - Peter Holsapple of the dB's - Reissue of their debut album, Stands For Decibels
    Jul 11 2024
    The dB’s, originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, issued a pair of albums in the early Eighties that were at times both jangly and melodic, and quirky and inventive. Unfortunately, neither album saw a release in America at the time - instead getting issued by the UK label Albion.

    Now, over 40 years later, they’re issuing the dB’s debut record, Stands for Decibels, on Propeller Sound Recordings, streaming, CD, and for the first time ever in the US, vinyl. From the band, we chat with singer/guitarist Peter Holsapple, who talks about what went into reissuing this lost classic, recorded on a shoe-string budget over 4 decades ago, and the clever packaging of the CD. He also reveals plans for their second album, Repercussion, to get reissued as well.

    Holsapple toured with R.E.M. as a multi instrumentalist in the 1990's. He talks about watching the band's interview on CBS Sunday Morning, commemorating their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
