The 40th anniversary of ZZ Top's "Afterburner" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: Forty years ago ZZ Top's Afterburner joined an elite list of multi-million selling albums including For Those About to Rock, New Jersey, Load, Don't Look Back, and I'm in You populated by some of music's biggest-selling stars such as AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Boston, and Peter Frampton. But don't go looking for Afterburner in the 2019 ZZ Top rockumentary film That Little Ol' Band from Texas. That otherwise well-done pastiche of just some of the chapters in this colorful trio's fifty-plus year telenovella implied that all meaningful recording by ZZ Top wrapped at the conclusion of Eliminator way back in 1983. Let's be honest, following up Eliminator's international success was a fool's errand, but nevertheless our intrepid Texas trio kicked in the Afterburner for their ninth studio album in October 1985, peaking at #4 sales on the Billboard Album Sales Chart and selling over 5,000,000 copies. That's a chalupa grande in any barrio, mi amigo. (read more)
Greg Weeks (Espers, Language of Stone) just released his new single "The Heathen Heart" from his forthcoming album "If the Sun Dies" (out January 23rd.) To celebrate we asked Greg to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
All of my songs start in my bedroom, unless, of course, I am away from home, then they usually start in someone else's bedroom, like the song I recently wrote while staying in a friend's apartment in Paris. I generally wait until I am alone before I start to compose, but many of my demos include ambient elements...televisions, conversations, pet sounds, or in the case of the Parisian trip, French children playing in the courtyard of a nearby school.
