Cat Stevens Saturnight A&M By Lee ZimmermanIt's hard to believe that Cat Stevens' first official live album is only now being released in the U.S. some 50 years after the concert was initially recorded.

The blues and gospel have always been different sides of the same coin. Such blues legends asBlind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, Son House, Bukka White and Skip James all did a deep dive within gospel.

By Ray ChelstowskiWhile My Morning Jacket are a band composed of world-class musicians, it's always been a Jim James affair. As the front man, producer and sole songwriter, each studio release has been a reflection of his creative position at that time. That's why the decision to hand over production duties to Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam) for their tenth album, Is, created such a sense of anticipation.

10 Albums That Changed My Life: Rick Wakeman

3 weeks ago | goldminemag.com | Andrew Daly

As an unparalleled king of the keys, Rick Wakeman has influenced progressive rock music in unimagined ways. With a cache of iconic records under his belt, any way you slice it, Wakeman is untouchable. Albums like Fragile (1971), Close to the Edge (1972) and Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973) - which he recorded with Yes - tell the story of a musician on a perpetual journey akin to a timeless musical odyssey. But that's not all.
An alternate history of Power Pop

Earlier this year, my fellow Goldmine scribe Martin Popoff penned an article titled, "An Alternate History of Power Pop in 20 Albums," which detailed long-players not generally considered to fit into most pundits' relatively narrow definition of the genre. I agreed with some of Martin's choices (Billy Squier, XTC, Graham Parker), disagreed with others (The Tubes), and was inspired to write something similar - this time with songs as opposed to full-length albums.

We've all groused for years that Jimmy Page's body of work after Led Zeppelin is patchy, but that doesn't mean we can't find some diamonds in the rough. In that light, I collared longtime Goldmine scribe Martin Popoff (also author of one Robert Plant and two Led Zeppelin books) to survey the records and point out some positives. - Goldmine Editor Pat PrinceYes, and to be fair, for all the hoots of derision Jimmy gets, John Paul Jones didn't stick his head up above the parapet much either.

All is well with Little Feat at the Wellmont

There might not be a better way to show off a new album than for the musicians to perform a sizable chunk of its songs in concert on the day of the LP's release. That's what Little Feat did with Strike Up the Band on May 9 at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, spreading material from the album throughout their headlining show.
