Classic rock is a radio format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s. In the United States, the classic rock format features music ranging generally from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, primarily focusing on commercially-successful hard rock, blues rock, and arena rock popularized in the 1970s.

Eric Carr – Unfinished Business (2011)

Legendary KISS drummer Eric Carr was an integral part of the band for over 11 years. His powerful drumming rocked the music world through the metal Eighties. Carr is still an influence on drummers and rock fans alike.

Due on November 8 through a label imprint set up by Eric‘s sister Loretta Caravello“Unfinished Business” is a special 20th-year commemorative CD release that features over 17 rare Eric Carr recordings, including previously unreleased music, live performances, interview clips and more. Guests include current and former members of KISSTWISTED SISTER,SEETHERZO2EUROPEDANGER DANGER and more.

This CD is a testament to a man whose personality and heart were as big as his enormous talent. Eric‘s spirit is alive in each and every song.

Greg Prato, the author of such books as “Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History Of Seattle Rock Music”“Touched By Magic: The Tommy Bolin Story” and “A Devil On One Shoulder And An Angel On The Other: The Story Of Shannon Hoon And Blind Melon”, last year released “The Eric Carr Story”, the first-ever book to tell the life story of KISS drummer Eric Carr. Comprised of all-new interviews, the book also doubles as a study of 1980s-era KISS. You’ll find insight into all of KISS‘ albums that featuredCarr (from producers Bob EzrinMichael James Jackson, and Ron Nevison), as well as those closest to him (sister Loretta Caravello, girlfriend Carrie StevensKISS guitarist Bruce Kulick), and music-related friends (Eddie TrunkDREAM THEATER‘s Mike PortnoyANTHRAX‘sCharlie Benante). Also included is one of the last-ever interviews conducted with KISS‘ original manager, Bill Aucoin, and for the first time ever, KISS fans will be able to learn what the real story line to KISS‘ controversial release “(Music From) The Elder” was all about (thanks to an explanation from Ezrin).

With the 20-year anniversary of Eric Carr‘s passing (November 24, 1991) approaching in 2011, what better way to celebrate the subjects than with all-new book? The book is set up in an “oral history” format (in other words, you’re getting the story straight from the source) and is chock-full of rarely seen (or, in many cases, never-before-seen) photographs.

The Eric Carr book is 256 pages long and priced at $19.99 (ISBN # 978-0-578-07424-5).

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Kiss My Amps (2011)

In the middle of his 2010 concerts, Tom Petty interrupted the hits for a stretch of electric R&B and psychedelic jangle from his rebirth record, Mojo. This vinyl LP, issued for Record Store Day, is a crackling facsimile of the minisets inside those shows, including the tough freestyle strut “Takin’ My Time,” the hard-blues-and-rave-up combo “I Should Have Known It” and the Allman Brothers-with-acid waltz “First Flash of Freedom.” There is one non-Mojo nugget: a 1999 B side, “Sweet William,” which suggests Bob Dylan‘s “Ballad of a Thin Man” juiced with the garage-rock helter-skelter of Count Five’s 1966 hit “Psychotic Reaction.”

SUZI QUATRO – IN THE SPOTLIGHT 2011

Download For Promo Use Only

In the ’70s, rock was in the business of growing into young adulthood. Experimentation with the phenomenon of rock and roll was rampant, touching every known genre of music outside of its own, and creating musical fusions of all kinds. Jazz and rock. Blues and rock. Classical and rock. As every merge occurred, little was left to the creative imagination. One of those was a blend into the very powerful pop style, a style that has been in vogue since music began. The popular song. The one everyone sang.

SuziQuatroA.jpg

Suzi Quatro, a very popular American singer who oozed sex, an increasingly popular ingredient in the recipe of a hitmaker, was riding the British charts in whoopin’ and hollerin’ ways back then. Poured into titillating leather and other tight and sparkly outfits, the young singer found success with a hit, “Can the Can,” which did very well in the UK and Australia. Not so much in the US where the song teased listeners on radio but never rose into the venerable Top 40. But because the song skirted the US Top 40, she did garner plenty of fans, likely young males in love with the leather-clad cutie who sang rock and roll with a bite.

Suzi Quatro released a small string of other hits for audiences outside the US, which kept her making albums if only for fans outside of her native country. Selected by chance for a small, recurring role in the popular US series Happy Days, Quatro achieved popularity away from the real goal of rock and roll.

Eventually, a duet recorded with Chris Norman of Smokie, a popular English rock band with a small US following, provided Quatro with a high-charting pop song, “Stumblin’ In,” and gave her the US audience that she had been looking for. Unfortunately, the kind of music that Quatro specialized in was falling out of vogue with world audiences. Even more unfortunate was the inability to follow up the success of “Stumblin’ In” with more equally successful songs that might have transitioned her into a pop singer of note.

Cherry Red, a label of note in the UK, will give Suzi Quatro another chance at rock fame again with the upcoming release of her new album, In The Spotlight, slating the set for UK release on August 29.  A quick glance at the album cover will show you that Suzi Quatro retains a youthful look, fitting well into whatever clothes she wears. I haven’t heard anything from this new album, but having been a fan back in the ’70s, I’m hoping that she has opted to give us a completely new Suzi, with a sound that could give her a foothold in today’s vast array of styles.
