This week, our "Best Last Albums" takes us back to the fall of 1968 with "Electric Ladyland" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience! Only 3 studio albums were released before Jimi's untimely death a little more than 2 years later. Next week, join Frankie and me as we celebrate our "Big 5th Anniversary Show!! We've had hundreds of fun and informative topics over the 1/2 decade of Podcasts, and we'll head down memory lane next week.

Thanks SO much for you downloads!!

This week, Frankie and I spotlight Billy Joel's final album (with lyrics): "River of Dreams." Billy became disillusioned with the music industry at the time he put together this album in 1993...album cover art by his then wife, Christie Brinkley. Next week, join us as we continue with our "Best Last Albums"...it will be "Electric Ladyland," the 3rd and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. And in just 2 weeks--our "BIG 5th Anniversary Show" will air!!

This week, John Lennon's final album, "Double Fantasy," is in our spotlight. Frank and I discuss the tragic events that began on December 8th, 1980, and for weeks, months, and years afterwards. It's still hard to believe, isn't it? Next week, Billy Joel's last one, with lyrics anyway: "River of Dreams."

Jim Croce's final album, "I Got A Name," is this week's "Best Last Album." Little did anyone at the time this album was released, that it would be Jim's last. From the title cut to "I'll Have to say I Love You in a Song" and "Lover's Cross," Jim great songs and tireless touring would end so tragically in September, 1973. Frank and I will discuss, and play some of those wonderful album tracks. Next week, John Lennon's "Double Fantasy."

Season 14 continues with Episode 8: The final studio album by The Doors--"LA Woman." 1971 signaled the end of the music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek. From the title track, to "Riders on the Storm," Frankie and I will run down all the cuts, and give you some insight into the group's producer. Next week, Jim Croce's last album: "I Got a Name."

This week, before Frankie and I begin taking a look at "Best Last Albums," we'll begin the show with a fitting tribute to the late John Lodge of the Moody Blues, who passed away late last week at the age of 82. What great songs he wrote for us, including "Isn't Life Strange," "Ride My See-Saw" and "I'm just a Singer in a Rock 'n Roll Band." Then in our new Feature, "Best Last Albums, this week it's "In Through the Out Door" by Led Zeppelin.

This week, Frankie and I take a final look (at least for now!), at our "Best Debut Albums;" "Dream of the Blue Turtles" by Sting. The 1985 release marked the beginning of a tremendous solo career which still is here today. Next week, we'll begin our "Best Last Albums" feature--with Zeppelin's last, "In Through the out Door." Enjoy!

Styx is this week's Featured Artist!! Frankie and I (especially me) have been clamoring for their induction, or at least, nomination into the Rock Hall. It won't be this year (Nov 8th in LA), but maybe next year! Next week, we'll take a look at yet another one of our Best Debut Albums--"Dream of the Blue Turtles" by Sting. He stepped out into the solo spotlight with this top album from 1985.

This week--it's Def Leppard!! Frankie will be telling us how the band's name was originally spelled + we'll discuss how long it was-and how many albums it took-for them to break out! Next week, we'll take a look at Styx. Enjoy!

This week: at long last...Van Halen!! Find out all about the band, who helped them get started (its' someone you know!), who was their producer early on (also someone you know!), and hear Frankie's thoughts about who he thinks was the better lead singer. Enjoy!!
