Excerpts...


Article regarding performers and political
posturing at TCS Daily, DC - Brussels -



..... I'd only offer him some advice from another rock icon, the notoriously zipper-lipped Joe Perry. The guitarist for Aerosmith, who usually says more with a lick than his partner Steven Tyler ever could with a lyric, had a solo hit in the early 1980s with a song whose title is perfect: "Let the music do the talking."

Robert Randolph interview at
Austin In Austin, TX -



.....I recently spoke to Randolph about his numerous collaborations for his latest album, Colorblind.....

RR: A conversation I had with Steven Tyler, for instance, helped influence the first song, “Ain’t Nothin Wrong with That.” It was us just us talking about music and listening to some older rock bands, stuff that influenced him, that produced that song. You wouldn’t guess it though. There’s a huge party vibe, but it feels rock, it feels fun. Bringing people together, having the guitar up there and a big huge chorus up there, it’s like Sly Stone meets Outkast meets Hendrix meets going to church and bringing everyone together. There “Ain’t Nothing Wrong with That.”

AIA: What exactly was it that Steven Tyler said and what were those records you were listening to?

RR: We were listening to The Pretty Things, a song called “Don’t Bring Me Down,” which I ended up taking with me. It has that same vibe but it was recorded in the ‘60s.....
