Elton John “11/17/70” 1971/2017 DJM/Universal Music- FIFTY-FIVE YEARS! I listened to this broadcast live as a nine year old when it happened, and I’ve played this record on this day ever since. Since the expanded edition came out, I typically play my original UNI pressing for the original album, and then go on to the expanded for the second disc. The “11/27/70+” expanded version of the album adds the other seven tracks Elton played in his set. For live Elton John, look no further!

James Blood Ulmer “Freelancing” 1981 Columbia Records - The hype sticker for this album quotes George Clinton saying that Ulmer “is a hydraulic pumper.” That’s accurate!

Be-Bop Deluxe “Axe Victim” 1974 Harvest Records - Their all-out glam fest. I’ve read that Bill Nelson disbanded this incarnation of BBD after touring behind this record because they were being regarded as just another glam band.

Lynyrd Skynyrd “(pronounced leh-nerd’ skin-nerd)” 1973 MCA/Sounds of the South Records - How can this album still sound fresh after all these years? Heartfelt musicianship, superb vocals, great songs, and Al Kooper at the production reins. That’s how.

Doc Pomus “Viva Doc Pomus: Songs For Elvis (The Demos)” 2025 Omnivore Recordings - Much like the Glen Campbell collection of demos for Elvis, here are demos for Elvis by one of his greatest songwriters. Mort Shuman supplies many of the vocals. Definitely my favorite, and most-played of the spring RSD 2025 releases.

Ian Hunter “Overnight Angels” 1977 CBS Records UK - Hunter’s third album was a much harder rocking affair than its predecessor, “All American Alien Boy,” featuring Earl Slick on guitar. But due to poor sales of that album and management issues, Columbia Records refused to release this album in the U.S. and dropped him from the label, making this record the great lost Ian Hunter album on these shores.

Carlene Carter “Musical Shapes” 1980 Warner Bros. Records - Carter was married to Nick Lowe when this album was recorded, which is why most of Rockpile are present. A nice melding of country and rock ‘n’ roll, with a new wave sensibility.
