Non-Stop Rock Talk welcomes singer Eddie Robison formerly of Alleycat Scratch, Resurrection Mary and Jet 68. Eddie joins the show to discuss his book 'The Backer: Fame Costs', which was released in 2022. The book is based on the band Sinner Sanctuary who is approached by a woman who wants to fund the band. She buys them instruments, rock star clothes and studio time with hopes of reaching the payoff in the end which is a record deal with hopes of selling millions of albums. 

Eddie and Tyson also discuss some of the music of Resurrection Mary which can be found on their 'Moon Over Babylon' album. The lyrics really come into play as Eddie reveals what inspired him to write some of the songs. 

Names like Tracii Guns and Rikki Rachtman are mentioned along the way as well. They too play into Eddie's story. It was the 80's in L.A., so names like that are expected to play into the story!

Keyboardist Jimmy Waldo of legendary band Alcatrazz joins Non-Stop Rock Talk to discuss many things in terms of the bands latest release entitled 'Prior Convictions' on BraveWords Records, working with amazing guitarists like Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Steve Vai on the bands prior work and of course current guitarist Joe Stump. 

There is so much conversation that touches on so many great musicians of the era. For Tyson to discuss these things with Jimmy is such an honor. Jimmy talks of his love for guitarists like Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eddie Van Halen. 

The segment goes into Jimmy discussing his work with Vinnie Vincent on 'Warrior: The Complete Sessions'. These sessions are quite a great listen as many of the songs ended up on later Vinnie Vincent Invasion albums. Songs like "That Time of Year", "Back on the Streets" and "Boys Are Gonna Rock" are all included in this package. "Tears" which was recorded by John Waite is in these recordings. There are also unreleased songs like "Gypsy In Her Eyes" and "It's Not Pretty (Being Easy)" that all come up in discussion. 

Jimmy and Tyson both agree that Vinnie is a brilliant songwriter who could have been in a class with Desmond Child, Jack Ponti and Holly Knight. 

As a singer, Vinnie has a brilliant voice. He could have fronted the Vinnie Vincent Invasion but chose Robert Fleishman and Mark Slaughter to emulate all his great songs as Vinnie wanted a singer who sang in a higher register. There is a feeling that Vinnie didn't need to hire a singer.

The discussion also touches on Vinnie as a guitar player and how we both feel that he didn't need to puke all over the songs with his intense playing. It was the 80's and it seems that Vinnie felt pressure to keep up with the likes of Yngwie, Vai and Van Halen. 

There is so much respect for Vinnie Vincent as a musician. There is just a feeling that maybe he got in his own head too much that lead to his leaving the business for many years.

Non-Stop Rock Talk proudly presents singer/songwriter Derek Welsh of Montgomery, Alabama band McQueen Street. 

Within this interview you will get the whole truth about McQueen Street. This is a story that gives the listener an eye opening account of what it was like to be an artist signed to a major label in the late 80's early 90's. 

Derek and Tyson discuss all things pertaining to the band. Signing with SBK Records, working with legendary producer Tom Werman, his displeasure with the bands album cover and how the promotion of SBK for the album became frustrating especially when the 'Nevermind/Grunge' era began. 

For fans of the era, this is an absolute monster of an interview. Derek is insightful, honest and really gives an interview that shows his integrity as an artist. McQueen Street is a small part of a big era in music. Still Derek and McQueen Street are a very important part of what can be termed as 'the greatest era' in music.
