Chicago’s Donnie Dacus was doomed to be compared to the late Terry Kath. It wasn’t fair then, and it still isn’t.

Billy Cobham is joined by Brian Gruber in a talk with Mike Tiano that delves into the output and impact of many of the drummer’s contemporaries.

Nine minutes of well-played but uninspired AOR, “Real Love” is not quite up to the standards set by Yes in their glory years.

Jeff Lynne once again demonstrated what makes Electric Light Orchestra special, namely combining various genres to render the music timeless.

The album’s PR material describes ‘We Are the Orchestra’ as a “bold departure” for Daniel Bennett, but what strikes me actually is that it’s not.

Like the Real Thing, you might attempt to resist the 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’s “39 Grams” but let’s face it, you can’t.

Chicago’s Terry Kath had never sounded smoother or more melancholy. It’s almost as if he knew tragedy would soon befall him.
