Don Breithaupt joins Preston Frazier to discuss ‘Friday,’ Monkey House’s long-awaited follow up to 2016’s ‘Left.’

This album-closing song actually makes a great jumping off point for then-new two-guitar version of Yes.

Preston Frazier’s mid-year new music survey includes Best of 2019 candidates Bernard Fowler, Grupo Fantasma and Oz Noy, among others.

Unlike the preceding track on Toto’s ‘Mindfields,’ “Selfish” succeeds because it gets to the musical point without wasting a note.

Combining fragments from Jon Anderson with contemporary Billy Sherwood production touches, Yes’ “Somehow, Someday” works on several levels.

The first-ever vinyl reissue of James Taylor’s ‘One Man Band’ live album prompts a re-evaluation.

Toto’s “High Price of Hate” is basically over about a third of the way in – or it should be, anyway.

Hopefully, this is just a brief taste of a larger future offering from Mark Anthony K and the Lower 3rd Collective.

While not particularly memorable, “Love Shine” is another song by Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood that’s been enjoyably Yes-ified.

Is this the best Rickie Lee Jones album of covers? No, but it is always engaging and occasionally compelling.
