My annual list of personal favorite studio albums, EPs, live releases, and box sets.

In part 2, Nils Lofgren talks life on the road with The Boss, writing with Lou Reed, and his recent reunion with Neil Young.

In Part 1, Nils discusses his 50+ years in the music biz, his new live 2-CD set 'Weathered,' the great Cindy Mizelle, Willie Nile, and more.

Soulful Americana is alive and well on the new release by Jarrod Dickenson.

Young artists and veteran hitmakers alike created an abundance of memorable tunes in 2019. Post Malone, Jay Som, Beck, and Sharon Van Etten are among them.

Just in time for the 2020 Grammys, here is my annual list of top releases of 2019 (including Baroness, Lana Del Rey, Neil Young, Lizzo, and Slipknot).

'Blue Record' was the peak of Baroness's metal prowess, but 'Gold & Grey' is their crowning achievement.

Rock music will always come first in my world, but you'll see an eclectic list of everything from jazz-hop (Anderson .Paak) to metal, country, electronica, R&B, and folk rock.

Rock and roll is alive and well - and didn't need a Zeppelin clone to prove it in 2018.

'Book of Bad Decisions' continues Clutch's always reliable and consistent output of hard-driving rock and roll - with elements of funk, the blues, and a surprise or two.
