Steve Matteo surveys 2025’s best rock books on the West Coast rock scene, sharing praise for Cameron Crowe, David Leaf and Jude Warne.

Steve Matteo interviews Ken Womack, an author of multiple books on the Beatles who is spearheading Everything Fab Four Fest: Celebrating Rubber Soul.

The Doobie Brothers remain one of the most consistently satisfying touring bands, almost five decades after their peak years.

David Browne, author of ‘Fire and Rain’ and ‘Dream Brother,’ discusses ‘Talkin’ Greenwich Village,’ folk music, and the intersection of music and politics.

Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill joined Steve Matteo to discuss ‘Long After the Fire’ and appearing at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame.

Bono, Chris Blackwell, Bob Dylan and Richard Barone are among those who made Steve Matteo’s list of Best of 2023 Rock Books.

Nothing in a new Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame exhibit feels dated. Billy Joel’s music, while of a time, is timeless.

‘Tattoo You’ could easily be called the Rolling Stones’ last really good album of original material, given that ‘Blue and Lonesome’ was a covers project.

The holiday music of 2021 may not be plentiful, but there are a handful of very worthy new releases and reissues.

As good as previous Pink Floyd vinyl reissues are, ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason: Remixed & Updated’ is quite unique.
