Stackridge

Stackridge was a British rock band formed in 1969 in the Bristol/Bath area of England. Initially known as Stackridge Lemon, they shortened their name to Stackridge and became known for their eclectic blend of folk rock, progressive pop, and whimsical storytelling. Their music often featured unconventional instruments like flutes and violins, and their lyrics included fantastical narratives.


Stackridge released an album titled The Man in the Bowler Hat in February 1974. This was their third studio album and is often considered their most acclaimed work. It was produced by George Martin...


In 2023, a remastered and expanded edition was released, featuring the original 10 tracks along with additional recordings from BBC sessions in 1973. This edition offers a deeper insight into the band's live performances and includes rare material.

The Man in the Bowler Hat was my first introduction to Stackridge, and I was instantly hooked by their quirky charm, lush arrangements

Silver Apples

Silver Apples were a groundbreaking electronic rock duo from New York City, formed in 1967 by Simeon Coxe and drummer Danny Taylor.


They pioneered the fusion of psychedelic rock with homemade synthesizers, notably Coxe's custom-built instrument known as "The Simeon," which utilized oscillators and various electronic components. Their debut album, Silver Apples (1968), and its follow-up, Contact (1969), were ahead of their time, influencing future genres like synth-pop and electronic music.


Despite early acclaim and endorsements from artists like John Lennon, the band faced setbacks, including a lawsuit over Contact's album art, leading to their disbandment in 1970. Coxe revived Silver Apples in the 1990s, continuing to perform and release new material until his passing in 2020

Bobby Vinton

For me, Bobby Vinton will always be synonymous with the smooth, heartfelt ballads that filled my childhood home, a voice that truly captured a simpler, more romantic era.

Bill Withers

Just As I Am (1971) feels like Bill Withers inviting you into his living room, telling stories straight from the heart with nothing to hide. Backed by Booker T. Jones’s smooth production, the album blends soul, folk, and blues in a way that feels both timeless and deeply human.


Songs like “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Grandma’s Hands” hit you with their honesty and warmth, and even after all these years, the whole album still feels like an old friend you can sit with when you need something real.
