Non-Stop Rock Talk welcomes legendary drummer Johnny Dee to discuss the brand new Tyketto album entitled 'Closer to the Sun'. Johnny and Tyson discuss some of the tracks and the studio where the album was recorded. Ironically enough, Johnny had recorded with Waysted 40 years prior at that very studio. Not only had Johnny recorded there, but Rush, Oasis and Coldplay had used the studio as well.
The conversation also goes deep into the Britny Fox story. The club daze even before Johnny joined the band, the recording of 1989's 'Boys in Heat' - how singer Dean Davidson was unhappy with the band for having him remove vocal tracks he had added to the album which may have lead to his dissatisfaction within the band, the proposed original cover/title which never saw the light of day and the things he didn't like about the album when it was released.
The discussion also takes a course about technology - how it has taken the creative side out of not only music but in film as well.
A very intriguing part of this discussion is in relation to a book written by Antonio Aloia and Mick Michaels (Corners of Sanctuary - Season 2 - Episode 38) entitled 'When We Rocked - The Story of the Philadelphia Scene 1978 - 1992'. Johnny had a part in this book as he wrote the forward and he also is quoted many times throughout the reading. A great book that covers the great bands that came out of the Philly circuit - Cinderella, Britny Fox, Tangier, Teeze/Roughouse and Heaven's Edge.
For fans of Britny Fox, Johnny Dee and the Philly scene this is a must listen. It touches on so many aspects that hopefully enhances your listening experience and creates a little bit of nostalgia. Johnny is very well-spoken, intelligent and it is obvious how passionate he is about music.
