Sleepwalker | Classic Album
Harry Steilus looks at 'Sleepwalker' one of The Kinks' late period gems. Moving away from the concept format back to finely written pop ballads, Ray, Dave & the boys made what is arguably their best album since 1971's Muswell Hillbillies.
Adventures in Utopia | Classic Album
Harry Steilus opens the Todd Rundgren vault and dusts off the Adventures in Utopia album. Todd the endlessly fascinating rock wizard is back again with the re-formed Utopia.
The Old Magic | Classic Album
This month Harry Steilus settles back in the comfy chair and takes a look at that perennial favourite Nick Lowe and his album 'The Old Magic'. Well into his solo career, the 'Jesus of Cool' has certainly mellowed but lost none of his razor sharp wit and great song craft.
Broken English | Classic Album
Classic Albums Marianne Faithfull
Harry Steilus takes a look at Marianne Faithfull's 1979 milestone album 'Broken English' which, coming at a low-point in her personal life, was a powerful work and a turning point in Faithfull's career.
