Phil’s Faves: Albums, August 27, 2017

Over time, my listening habits have changed and at the moment I usually listen to albums completely through. I haven’t done that in years, but it’s actually very rewarding—particularly when the album is good. Every album that will be on this list will fit that category.

Songs from the albums on this list forms the basis of my countdown list for the “Top 9 at 9:09” segment of my “Prime Time Theme Attic Show,” (Mondays, 8P-10P ET) on alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

They may also turn up on my “Theme Attic Show,” (Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET)

Here’s a link:

Listen live: www.whfr.fm/images/stream_audio.html

It’s another peak into my listening habits—which is a goal of mine. If you want to know where I’m heading or what I think about some new music, you will find it here.

I honestly don’t expect there to be much volatility on this list because these albums are what I have been basing many of the sets on my show.

Once again, there will be no boundaries. I will go wherever my musical muse takes me.

Phil’s Faves: Songs, August 27, 2017

This is a weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I’ve already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it’s online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren’t sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don’t use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven’t heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.

Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.

Most of the songs heard on this list have been played on my radio shows, “Theme Attic,” heard Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET, or “Prime Time Theme Attic,” heard Mondays, 8P-10P ET!

This list forms the basis of my countdown list on the “Top 9 at 9:09” segment of my “Prime Time Theme Attic Show” on alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Albums” lists!

Jean-Luc Ponty Interview Pt.3, Plus Wendy Webb, and The Garden of Soul, Wednesday August 23, 10A-12 Noon EDT!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The final installment, including music, of my June 14th interview with Jean-Luc Ponty [Hall of Fame] airs Wednesday morning on “Theme Attic” from 10A-12N EDT! The third segment will focus on his collaboration with Jon Anderson, former lead singer of the prog rock band, Yes {Hall of Fame], as well as a couple more insights into his career.

Here’s an example of what the Anderson Ponty Band (APB) sounds like:

That’s me and Jean-Luc Ponty after his show at Chene Park in Detroit on June 21!

Singer/songwriter Wendy Webb was kind enough to do an interview with me about the U.S. release of her new album, “Step Out of Line!” We do a lot of talking about the making of that album, but I kick the interview off by discussing a song from her “Edge of Town” album called, “Mystery Sign.”

Starting the “Interview Show” is Drake, Bone, Mike, and Kenny, collectively know as “The Garden of Soul.” Debuting their first album on my show was a true honor, and the rockers explained their approach to the making of “Forsaken!”

The song “Queen Isabella” does not appear in this segment of the interview, but it did hit #1 on my faves songs list earlier this year!

Catch the show at 89.3 FM (WHFR) in the Dearborn-Detroit area, or use this link to stream it: http://www.whfr.fm/images/stream_audio.html

Easy 8s Become Part of My Road Trip!!!

I am currently on the road, but I did have time to check out a band at The Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas! These guys do a nice job reworking the Classic Rock sound while creating new originals, like on their latest release, “American Made Thunder.” I will be checking this out in the near future.
