Wolves in Summer Clothing
This weekend in the Vault we've got a $4 download from Warren Zevon performing "Werewolves of London" and other gems, new releases from the J. Geils Band and Los Lobos, and playlists to help you kick off the summer right whether you're partying or relaxing outside.
Rock and Roll Book Club
For the past month or so, I’ve used a very simple method for picking out a new book to read, a little alliterative technique I like to call “scan the shelves for the skinniest spines.” For a guy who reads almost exclusively on the subway, it works pretty well: it’s less weight to carry and, [...]
I Heard the Voice of Turley Richards
often find myself in a mood where I don’t know what to listen to…in those instances, I wish The Vault had a “Random Concert Button” that you could keep hitting until something strikes my fancy. In the absence of said button, I’ve come up with a few tricks to approximate randomness including one I [...]
$4 Download Deal: Elvin Bishop
In April 1976, Elvin Bishop's "Struttin' My Stuff", made it to the #2 position on the Billboard pop chart and went gold (thanks, in large part, to its hit single, "Fooled Around And Fell In Love"). The single was already a hit, but it was this Biscuit show that gave Bishop his first extensive national radio exposure.

Joe Cocker: Beer, Belushi, and two great gigs
Seeing a 1970 Joe Cocker concert featured in the Vault — from an April night at the Fillmore West — takes me back in a serious way. Multiple flashbacks, in fact.
For some reason, I’ve never forgotten the time he showed up at my San Francisco home one evening in 1978, before heading off to a nightclub [...]
$4 Download Deal: Big Country
Big Country's trademark guitars in their "bagpipe" mode cut through the song's intro, leading into Adamson's passionate vocals. The rest of the show is propelled by the band's powerful rhythm section and the interplay between the twin guitar action of Adamson and Watson.
Ramblin’ Jack (Bauer)
*this post contains spoilers*
Besides LOST, another juggernaut in the television world met its end this week. After nine years (eight seasons) we said goodbye to Jack, Chloe and the rest of the gang on 24. According to one website that totals all the unfortunate folks Jack has axed over the years (on-screen only), our man Bauer [...]
