THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES
Series One

BOOK TRAILER

BOOK REVIEW

-By Literary Titan (5) STARS

The Rock Star Chronicles, by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.

 

The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan.

 

Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives.

 

The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music.  The second noteworthy thing is the use of high definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.

I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.

Steve Janevski 'Wicked Smile' Guitarist Live From Australia!

STEVE JANEVSKI GUITARIST FOR HARD ROCK BAND ‘WICKED SMILE’ AND THE FATHER OF AUSSIE ROCKER CHICK CASSIDY PARIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW LIVE FROM AUSTRALIA! Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Australia’s Wicked Smile are all about bringing back fist pumping heavy rock to the forefront. The boys released one of the albums of the year in 2021; a collection of ten ‘killer songs’, produced by Paul Laine (The Defiants) and mastered by Bruno Ravel (The Defiants/Danger Danger). Guitarist Stevie Janevski goes on to say, “we’re a five-piece kick ass heavy rock band and I think we made our presence known with the release of our debut album Wait For The Night". Lyrically, ‘Wait for the Night’ explores current issues within society such as civil unrest, bullying and mental health. Songs like We Fall, Sign Of Times, Daze Of Delirium, Stronger, Last Goodbye & Don’t Wait For Me are all thought provoking and not the cliché lyrics that you’d expect for this style of heavy rock. Wicked Smile has been overwhelmed by the positive response from the underground rock and metal community. Fans of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio and Skid Row should feel at home, with the band drawing major influence from seventies and eighties heavy rock and heavy metal. The boys released a new ep titled 'Night Time Riders' and toured the United Kingdom (for the second time in one year) with dates in November and December 2023, where they performed at renowned festivals such as Winter Storm & Planet Rockstock.

Brian Tuohy America's Expert Authority On Game Fixing -Special Report!

BRIAN TUOHY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND AMERICA’S EXPERT AUTHORITY IN GAME FIXING IN SPORTS: A CONTINUAL SPECIAL INVESTIGATION ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS WITH RAY SHASHO. Hello everyone and welcome to a continuing special report expose on professional sports fixing in America on Interviewing the Legends… I’m your host Ray Shasho. ARE PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FIXED? Would you leave a multi-billion-dollar industry up to chance? Brian Tuohy is the controversial author of the books The Fix Is In, Larceny Games, Disaster Government, and A Season in the Abyss: Sports Gambling vs. The NFL's Integrity. He is considered America’s leading expert on game fixing in sports and is recognized as a scholarly authority by the United States Supreme Court (seriously). He has written for Sports Illustrated, Vice Sports, Sports on Earth, and other publications while appearing as a guest on the likes of the Dan Patrick show, Coast to Coast AM, Chris Myers Interviews, Alex Jones, and has been a guest on over 200 different national & local radio programs and podcasts. Brian has spoken at Florida State University, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University and Columbia College Chicago. Despite all of these accomplishments, the national sports media by and large continues to ignore his work. PLEASE WELCOME BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST AND AMERICA’S LEADING AUTHORITY IN GAME FIXING IN SPORTS BRIAN TUOHY TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS … PURCHASE THESE INCREDIBLE BOOKS BY BRIAN TUOHY All available at amazon.com The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NASCAR Professional sports in America: it's all about fair play and the goal of winning championships. At least that's the spin. But could it be a massive showbiz operation filled with greedy owners, crooked referees, and coddled players, all with the unstated goal of grabbing as much money as possible? The Fix Is Still In: Corruption and Conspiracies the Pro Sports Leagues Don't Want You To Know About n this long-anticipated sequel to his jarring takedown of professional sports, The Fix Is In, internationally recognized game fixing expert and scholarly authority Brian Tuohy further reveals the truths all sports fans need to know. Based on dedicated research and previously unreleased FBI files, each chapter exposes sports in a manner none of the major leagues’ broadcast partners would dare attempt. A Season in the Abyss: Sports Gambling vs. The NFL's Integrity Football and gambling. The two activities are inseparable. Yet the National Football League states it does not want fans to bet on its games. The league even fought against the state of New Jersey to keep sports gambling illegal. Larceny Games: Sports Gambling, Game Fixing and the FBI Major League Baseball claims it hasn't had a game fixed by gamblers since 1919. Point shaving hasn't admittedly occurred in the NBA since 1954. And the NFL publicly states not one of its games has come under outside influence--ever. This league-sponsored history, however, is wrong. Disaster Government: National Emergencies, Continuity of Government and You Revealed within the pages of Disaster Government is the most detailed information ever made public regarding Continuity of Government programs. These are the Top Secret plans the U.S. federal government created to save itself in the event of a nuclear war or some other "national emergency." What is a national emergency? You'd be surprised.

Albert Hammond First New Album of Original Material In 20 Years!

LIVE FROM GIBRALTAR! ALBERT HAMMOND LEGENDARY SINGER… PROLIFIC SONGWRITER…MUSICIAN AND RECORD PRODUCER RELEASING NEW ALBUM ENTITLED ‘BODY OF WORK’ ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS! Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Albert Hammond grew up in Gibraltar. In 1960, Albert left school, formed a band and began sending out recordings of his very first compositions to labels in England, where they were released by Parlophone Records. Soon thereafter, Albert met Mike Hazlewood and almost immediately, they teamed up as collaborators and began gaining recognition as a songwriting team: “Little Arrows” (Leapy Lee in 1968 – top 10 country and pop charts), “Make Me An Island” (a number one hit in 14 countries), “Gimme Dat Ding” (The Pipkins in 1970 – pop and R&B charts), “Freedom Come, Freedom Go” (The Fortunes in 1971), “Good Morning Freedom” (Blue Mink, 1970). “Gimme Dat Ding” was written for a children’s television program called “Oliver In The Overworld” which starred Freddie and the Dreamers. Having become one of Britain’s most successful songwriting teams, Albert and Mike decided to move to southern California. Albert played his songs to every record company possible, until Hal Landers and Bobby Roberts gave him the first artist’s contract ever for their newly built Mums label, a division of CBS’s Epic label. After auditioning for CBS president Clive Davis, and over 30 other people, Albert was asked to record some songs.

The NFL Is Rigged! Special Report with Investigator Dan E. Moldea

Hello and welcome to a special edition expose of Interviewing the Legends …I’m your host Ray Shasho. Dan E. Moldea is a best-selling author and investigative journalist who has reported on organized crime and political corruption since 1974. He is the author of books about the rise and fall of Jimmy Hoffa, the contract killing of an Ohio businessman, the Mafia's penetration of Hollywood, and its influence on professional football, as well as works about the murder of Senator Robert Kennedy, the O.J. Simpson case, and the suicide of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster. Moldea has lectured about "The Mafia in America" at colleges and universities throughout the country and has appeared on numerous national and local radio and television programs. He was also featured in the 2004 film, The Hunting of the President. He is a former president of Washington Independent Writers (now American Independent Writers). I’ve been interested in Mr. Moldea since he appeared on The Pat Sajak show in 1989 to promote his book Interference. He claimed that virtually every NFL owner gambles on games and claimed that no fewer than 70 NFL games had been fixed up to that point. I became suspect of the NFL ever since Superbowl III when the 19 1 ⁄ 2 -point underdog American Football League (AFL) champion New York Jets defeated the National Football League (NFL) champion Baltimore Colts by a score of 16–7. Vince Lombardi went on record saying that the Jets had no chance of victory. The owner of the Colts (Caroll Rosenblum) was known to be a heavy gambler, and he died under mysterious circumstances in 1979. A large bet was placed in the City of Baltimore, and according to urban legend it was Rosenblum betting 3 million on the Jets. Colts Pro Bowl defensive end Bubba Smith blamed quarterback Earl Morrall for throwing the game. He appeared to be missing wide open receivers, and he threw for 71 yards and three INTs on 6-of-17 passing. The Jets went on to win by a score of 16-7, leading to the merger of the NFL and AFL, and securing the future of the Super Bowl. I personally have come to realize that THE NFL IS AS LEGIT AS THE WWE. Please welcome best-selling author, investigative journalist, and specialist on organized crime and political corruption investigations since 1974, Dan Moldea to Interviewing the Legends … PURCHASE ‘Interference’ How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football By DAN E. MOLDEA A shocking exposé of widespread corruption and mob influence throughout the National Football League—on the field, in the owners’ boxes, and in the corporate suites. According to investigative journalist Dan E. Moldea, for decades the National Football League has had a strong and unspoken understanding with a dangerous organized crime. In his classic exposé, Interference, Moldea bares the dark, sordid underbelly of America’s favorite professional team sport, revealing a nest of corruption that the league has largely ignored since its inception. available at amazon.com ALSO PURCHASE THESE INCREDIBLE TITLES BY DAN E.

A Chat with Gary Cooper's Daughter and a Legendary Pianist

MARIA COOPER JANIS: ARTIST, AUTHOR, BIOGRAPHER, DAUGHTER OF SCREEN LEGEND GARY COOPER WITH HER HUSBAND LEGENDARY AMERICAN CLASSICAL PIANIST BYRON JANIS: ZOOM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW! Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Maria Cooper Janis was born in Los Angeles, California and lived there with her parents, the actor Gary Cooper and his wife Veronica Cooper. She followed a painting career in New York and in 1966 married the world-renowned concert pianist, Byron Janis. Although Mr. Janis’ busy schedule has led them all over the world, Mrs. Janis has enjoyed a successful career as an artist. She pursues her paintings with great energy, exhibiting in the United States as well as Europe and Asia. She has written a book Gary Cooper off Camera: A Daughter Remembers which gives an inside look into the persona of one of the greatest movie stars of all time. Maria Cooper Janis has also worked on a feature film documentary, “The True Gen,” about the special 20-year friendship between Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway, the score of which is composed by Byron Janis. Byron Janis is internationally renowned as one of the world's greatest pianists. He made his orchestral debut at age 15 with Toscanini's NBC Symphony Orchestra and the following year was chosen by Vladimir Horowitz as his first student. At 18, he became the youngest artist ever signed to a contract by RCA Victor Records. Two years later, in 1948, he made his Carnegie Hall debut which was hailed as an unparalleled success. He has a special affinity for Chopin and made a French film on him that was shown around the world. Byron Janis was honored by several U.S. Presidents and in 1984, at a State Dinner at the White House in his honor at the invitation of President Ronald Reagan, he revealed that he had been suffering from severe arthritis throughout much of his decades-long career. The painful and crippling condition eventually required surgery on his hands. However, he recovered sufficiently to resume performing and recording commercially and continues to do so today. PLEASE WELCOME MARIA COOPER JANIS ARTIST/AUTHOR/BIOGRAPHER AND DAUGHTER OF SCREEN LEGEND GARY COOPER AND HER HUSBAND LEGENDARY CLASSICAL PIANIST & COMPOSER BYRON JANIS. *Note: Mr. Janis battled through laryngitis and a nagging cough to take part in this interview. We all thank you for your perseverance and Indomitable Spirit. VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO Bettina Klinger Managing Director for arranging this interview today with Maria Cooper Janis and Byron Janis. PURCHASE Gary Cooper Off Camera: A Daughter Remembers by Maria Cooper Janis Introduction by Tom Hanks Available at https://www.garycooper.com/#gary-cooper-off-camera-a-daughter-remembers Gary Cooper (1901-1961) is an American icon-an actor whose handsome features and unstudied poise made him one of the great stars of Hollywood’s Golden Era. Now, his only child gives us an extraordinary memoir - a book that reveals the Gary Cooper only she knew.

Utter opposites... nothing in common. The cowboy and the suburbanite. The conservative and the liberal. And yet these two artists (a word both men scoffed at) were the best of friends, right up to their deaths a mere seven weeks apart in 1961. But is the friendship of these two men really so surprising? A study of these two men is a study of the 20th century. Their internationally renowned careers (Cooper, two Best Actor Academy Awards; Hemingway, Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes) were played out over the same turbulent decades: the hedonistic 20s, the grim Depression 30s, the war-ravaged 40s, and the deceptively slumbering 50s. available at amazon.com FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MARIA COOPER JANIS VISIT https://www.mariacooperjanis.com/ Official website https://www.facebook.com/mariacooperjanis/ Facebook https://www.instagram.com/mariacooperjanis/?hl=en Instagram BYRON JANIS https://www.byronjanislive.com/ Official website https://www.facebook.com/ByronJanis Facebook https://twitter.com/ByronJanisMusic Twitter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi0mmq2O8XSDPCh2w8wb9TA YouTube https://www.instagram.com/ByronJanisMusic/ Instagram GARY COOPER SITES https://www.garycooper.com/ Official website https://www.garycooper.com/blog/maria-cooper-7j5xd Blog https://www.facebook.com/GaryCooperVerifiedPage/?ref=tn_tnmn Facebook https://twitter.com/_GaryCooper Twitter https://www.instagram.com/gary_cooper_official/ Instagram

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Young Australian rocker, Cassidy Paris released her debut album, “New Sensation” on December 8th. Cassidy has a very bright future ahead of her. Raised on classic hard rock and inspired by female rockers such as Lzzy Hale, Joan Jett, Pink, Pat Benatar & Avril Lavigne, the fiercely determined young woman is on a mission to inspire a new generation of younger fans to not only listen to Rock ‘n’ Roll but pick up a guitar instead of a phone. At just 20 years old, Cassidy has released two sold out eps – “Broken Hearted” & “Flirt”, while having performed multiple live shows all over her home country of Australia and has now unleashed her first solo record on the international markets via Frontiers Music Srl. At the age of 11, Cassidy met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex-Danger Danger, The Deviant’s), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took Cassidy under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing her music. In 2018, she released the song 'Stand', a heartfelt song about ‘standing up for yourself’ as a young woman. Cassidy continues to deliver that message, promoting anti-bullying through performances at many schools around Melbourne, Australia and is an active campaigner for the worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’ organization. Her talents have not gone unnoticed by one of the major guitar giants Fender, lending their support by joining forces with Cassidy to bring her on as an endorser of Fender Squier Guitars. Cassidy has also joined the roster of Silverback Touring Agency. Cassidy has also been acknowledged as a semi-finalist for her song writing efforts in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) for Best Rock Song and Best Unsigned Artist.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Before we bring in our guests, I just want to acknowledge that we recently lost a legendary singer/songwriter and musician who was also a good friend to the show, and we will miss her dearly. Known and adored by the music world as Melanie, our sympathies and prayers go out to her family. Born out of the intensely creative and artistic art rock and fusion movements of the seventies, Happy The Man is one of the most legendary progressive rock bands of all time. Although Happy The Man only released a few albums before breaking up, their impact was strong enough to durably endear the group to a cult following that has been growing ever since. And with the passing of the years, Happy The Man’s music has demonstrated a timeless quality which suggests that it was not only ahead of its time, it was also, in many ways, beyond this world. Happy The Man has returned with a new album and is ready once again to thrill their devoted fans worldwide. The new album picks up right where they left off, characterized by strong compositions with varying mood and intensity while creatively combining the quirky interplay of rhythms and melodies with lush atmospheric textures. Their new single, “Only Love,” was released on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 15th, 2024. The song is from the band’s highly anticipated forthcoming album of the same name. Stanley Whitaker, Ron Riddle, Michael Beck, and Rick Kennell have reunited and recorded a phenomenal new song promising to please fans of the band and prog fans worldwide.

SPECIAL LIVE EVENT FROM AUSTRALIA WITH LEAD GUITARIST/SONGWRITER SAM VALLEN. Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Caligula’s Horse, hailing from Brisbane, Australia, are a leading light in contemporary progressive metal. Their colourful and emotional music, spanning influences as diverse as King Crimson, Steely Dan, Opeth, and Jeff Buckley, has forged a deep and lasting connection with fans across the globe. In 2020, Caligula’s Horse released their most focused and potent artistic statement yet: Rise Radiant, an uncompromising exploration of the human experience dressed in vivid musical color and virtuosic performances. The brand-new release by Caligula’s Horse is entitled Charcoal Grace and is borne of the static hopelessness that the pandemic forced upon the band and, indeed, much of the world, these past few years. It is an album reckoning with the experiences and outcomes of this time geared, ultimately, towards catharsis - moving towards a more hopeful future. The title Charcoal Grace is described by the band as “the grim allure and strange beauty in stillness, silence, and loss”.  At the center of the album is the 4-part title track suite, a 24-minute opus that pushes deeper into the album’s foundational themes: connection, alienation, and the ways humanity acts under duress. Musically, it covers every facet of the band’s vocabulary, from heavy and dense orchestral-accompanied intensity embodying the song’s darkest lyrical ideas, through to soft acoustic-driven moments and introspection. Charcoal Grace will be Officially released on Jan. 26th. But the album is available for preorder. Please welcome lead guitarist, musical director producer, and songwriter for Australian progressive metal band Caligula’s Horse, who is also a music educator and holds a doctorate in music from the Queensland Conservatorium … SAM VALLEN TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS … PREORDER THE NEW ALBUM BY CALIGULA’S HORSE entitled CHARCOAL GRACE Officially released on Jan. 26th.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. In almost their fifth decade of making music, and continuing the tradition that they helped create, Saxon are still a tour de force in heavy metal music. Saxon were the leaders of the new wave of British heavy metal (they had eight UK Top 40 albums in the 1980s including four UK Top 10 albums and two Top 5 albums. They had numerous singles in the UK Singles Chart and chart success all over Europe and Japan, as well as success in the United States. During the 1980s, Saxon established themselves among Europe's most successful metal acts. The band toured regularly and has sold more than 13 million albums worldwide. Originally named "Son of a Bitch, the band changed their name to Saxon in 1979. Saxon have been cited as a major influence or inspiration by numerous bands, including Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Testament, Dokken, Skid Row, Dream Theater, Exodus, Overkill, King Diamond and Celtic Frost. Saxon will release their new album Hell, Fire And Damnation on January 19th 2024, and when internationally-renowned actor Brian Blessed OBE delivers a proclamation for opening track, “The Prophecy”, expectations are automatically high. Have no fear and make no mistake, Saxon meet and exceed them on their 24th studio release, creating a superlative British Heavy Metal classic which strides the perfect line between confident, current power, and gloriously irreverent flexing of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal muscle which Saxon co-created.

Roger Earl Foghat Legendary Drummer Talks 'Sonic Mojo'

‘SONIC MOJO’ BY CLASSIC ROCK LEGENDS FOGHAT – FIRST NEW ALBUM IN SEVEN YEARS, OUT NOW! ZOOM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DRUMMING LEGEND ROGER EARL SPECIAL EVENT! Hello everyone and welcome to the 426th episode of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Sonic Mojo is Foghat’s highly anticipated and long-awaited 17th studio album—their first in seven years--on the band’s label, Foghat Records, which is distributed by Select-O-Hits (part of the Sun Records family). On Sonic Mojo founding member, drummer and leader of the pack Roger Earl is joined by stalwart guitarist, engineer, and co-producer Bryan Bassett (formerly with Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet), fun-loving bassist Rodney O’Quinn (longtime member of the Pat Travers Band), and on lead vocals and guitar, Scott Holt (who toured and recorded with the legendary Buddy Guy for 10+ years). The new album absolutely cements Foghat’s title as the undisputed Kings of Boogie Rock as it showcases the band’s trademark crunchy riffs, soaring slide guitar leads, infectious melodies, bluesy influences, and their take-no-prisoners approach to their loud, heavy, blues-rock that fans everywhere can’t get enough of. Three songs on Sonic Mojo have special meaning for Roger Earl, as they were co-written by Simmonds, the man who gave Roger his first break back in 1967 as a member of Savoy Brown. Sadly, shortly after writing these songs, Kim passed away in December 2022. Foghat continue to release new music every few years, and are in constant motion on the road, maintaining a rigorous touring schedule that has been a staple of the band since its formation.

Ex-King Crimson Violinist David Cross Announces the Release of New Studio Album “Ice Blue, Silver Sky” OUT NOW! Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Initially inspired by Leadbelly, the Beatles, Bartok, Coltrane and his church organist father, David became an irrepressible improvisor and experimenter. His subsequent immersion in rock music introduced him to a new, vast pool of expressive possibilities. Currently, he plays a half fretted Violectra electric violin with 5 strings and an octave drop pedal, giving him a pitch range from the bottom of the cello to the top of the violin. David Cross was a member of King Crimson during the 1970s and continues to have a loyal fan base. He’s best known for playing violin on the albums “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” and “Starless and Bible Black”. The musicians featured on his new album “Ice Blue, Silver Sky” include Jinian Wilde, Mick Paul, Steve Roberts and a special guest appearance on two tracks by David Jackson of Van Der Graaf Generator. This new studio album features new tracks along with new recordings of the two classic King Crimson tracks “Exiles” and “Starless”. The album title refers to a lyric in Starless and King Crimson lyricist Richard Palmer-James contributes to the lyrics on this album. PLEASE WELCOME English electric violinist and keyboardist best known for playing with progressive rock band King Crimson from 1972 to 1974 …DAVID CROSS to Interviewing the Legends… PURCHASE “Ice Blue, Silver Sky” By DAVID CROSS available at Amazon CD: https://geni.us/DCBcd Apple Music: https://geni.us/DCBam Spotify: https://geni.us/DCBsp Also available directly from Cherry Red: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/artist/david-cross/ David Cross said of the album "There is a narrative to this album which emerges from a patchwork of natural soundbites, lyrics and scripted text.

SWEDISH SYMPHONIC PROGGERS ‘MOON SAFARI’ RELEASING NEW ALBUM ‘HIMLABACKEN VOL.2’ ON DEC 8TH: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH BAND MEMBERS PONTUS AKESSON AND PETTER SANDSTROM WITH RAY SHASHO Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. After a near decade-long recording process, Swedish progressive rockers, Moon Safari are set to make a comeback this winter with their 5th studio album Himlabacken Vol. 2. The album will be released on December 6th through Marquee Inc. in Japan and worldwide on December 8th. "It took us ten years, for a million different reasons. But we're not dead yet. We return with what we know is a worthy comeback album, filled with our own special brand of symphonic rock cultivated over 20 years as an antidote to the long, dark winters of northern Sweden, with those trademark vocal group-inspired harmonies, uplifting melodies and soulful romantic lyrics that our fans have come to expect. With the addition of ex. Black Bonzo drummer Mikael Israelsson to the band we've totally revamped and boosted the low end of our sound, tightened it up, and that attitude shift is felt through our entire arrangements. Tying it all together is the mix by the great Rich Mouser. He's been the go-to guy for the big boys in the genre for many years, and now we understand why. The mix is clear and punchy, booming and never flat. It just sounds expensive, and we couldn't be happier. You'll get almost 70 minutes of this heady brew, spread over nine tracks, with zero fillers. And of course, there's the obligatory epic. The whole thing is a banger, and we're immensely proud of it.

Kelly Deco and Legendary Producer Val Garay Join Forces Exclusive!

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Steeped in the magic and mystery of an artist’s life in the Hollywood movie machinery, vintage-futurism storyteller Kelly Deco moves through space and time with imaginary twists on figures we sometimes see in the sky and know in our hearts. The stars first aligned for Kelly in 1990 when the release of “Big Fish” and the independently produced video for “No Reality” (directed by Wayne White, three-time Emmy award winning designer for Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time”) became widely publicized. The “No Reality” clip was played on numerous nationwide video programs. In 1991 it garnered national attention; it ultimately charted in Billboard’s “Viewers Top Request,” and was the most requested video on Night Tracks. Deco’s latest album Constellation was produced by legendary and Grammy award winning music producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Kim Carnes, etc.) and released through Deko Entertainment. Val Garay is a legendary producer and engineer who has garnered 5 Grammy wins, over 100 gold and platinum records, an Emmy nomination, and over 125 million worldwide record sales. Val’s award-winning work with James Taylor, Kim Carnes, Elton John, The Motels, Bonnie Raitt, Pablo Cruise, Neil Diamond, Ringo Starr, Linda Ronstadt, and more, is just the beginning. The album has eleven brand new songs with standout tracks “Automat Girl”, “David Bowie’s Brain”, and the latest single and video “Creature Dreams” As Deco states, "You are from the sky.

John Boegehold Revered Songwriter for Pattern-Seeking Animals

AMERICAN PROG ROCK SUPERGROUP PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS RELEASES NEW ALBUM ‘SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE’ ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT WITH SONGWRITER JOHN BOEGEHOLD ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS! Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2019, Los Angeles-based quartet Pattern-Seeking Animals have been one of the prog scene’s most prolific outfits. Formed from members of the influential group Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals (P-SA) has staked claim to its own identity, forging a new path in the prog scene. Named after a quote about human behavior from science historian Michael Shermer, PS-A is John Boegehold (keyboards and production), Ted Leonard (lead vocals and guitar), bassist Dave Meros, and the energetic and talented Jimmy Keegan on drums. Boegehold, known for his film scores and innovative prog compositions, initially formed the group due to the desire to find a home for material that was not quite the right fit for Spock’s Beard. Sessions took place with Leonard, Meros and Keegan, and P-SA was born. Ever since, the group has been creating music that is ‘progressive and intricate while keeping things immediate and melodic,’ with critically acclaimed albums. The group’s new release ‘Spooky Action at a Distance’ continues to build on the band’s prior successes while branching out into new territory. The group has long put to rest that this is a part-time project. Spooky Action at a Distance finds Pattern-Seeking Animals more confident than ever, approaching new soundscapes and topics, combined with the DNA of their previous work for their most memorable and powerful album to date. PLEASE WELCOME... HE WAS THE LYRICIST FOR PROG ROCK’S SPOCK’S BEARD AND IS THE SONGWRITER FOR PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS JOHN BOEGEHOLD TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS. PURCHASE THE LATEST RELEASE BY PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS Entitled Spooky Action at a Distance Available in the following formats: • Limited 2CD Digipak* • Digital album* • 2LP Gatefold vinyl 180g** *including 3 live bonus tracks from ProgStock 2022 **including 2 live bonus tracks from ProgStock 2022 Purchase Spooky Action at a Distance here: https://patternseekinganimals.lnk.to/SpookyActionAtADistance “THE ARTISTIC MATURNESS AND PROWNESS OF THESE FOUR PROFICIENT MUSIC VETS THAT CALL THEMSELVES PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS IS DISTINCTLY PRONOUNCED ON THEIR SUBLIME NEW RELEASE ‘SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE’. THIS ALBUM HAS ALL THE MUSICAL ELEMENTS NEEDED TO BECOME A BONAFIDE CLASSIC!” 5 STARS! By music journalist Ray Shasho Spooky Action at a Distance finds Pattern-Seeking Animals more confident than ever, approaching new soundscapes and topics, showcasing their evolution, and commitment to pushing their own creative boundaries. John Boegehold explains, “Because this is our fourth release in less than five years, my intention was to shift gears and not go over ground that's already been covered. In addition to using different sounds, textures and musical styles, we approached the vocals, especially backing vocals from a fairly different angle. In addition, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at a different studio with a different engineer than our previous three releases.” The different approach is not only noticeable in production and sounds, but in the lyrics as well. “The subject matter of the lyrics include a Norse king contemplating life while being conquered, an aging seeker on the path toward enlightenment, aliens hunting down humans trying to evade capture, the life of a conflicted soldier before and after WW1, a pregnant teenager leaving a bad situation at home, a reluctant hero victorious in her final battle and a guy’s girlfriend who leaves him because of his conspiracy theories.” FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS VISIT http://PSAnimals1.com Official website http://Facebook.com/psanimals1 Facebook https://twitter.com/psanimals1 Twitter https://www.instagram.com/psanimals1/ Instagram INSIDEOUT MUSIC online: www.insideoutmusic.com www.youtube.com/InsideOutMusicTV www.facebook.com/InsideOutMusic www.twitter.com/InsideOutUSA www.insideoutmusicshop.com INSIDEOUTMUSIC Spotify Playlist: http://spotify.com/progrockessentials Discography Pattern-Seeking Animals (2019) Prehensile Tales (2020) Only Passing Through (2022) Spooky Action at a Distance (2023) SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS: ROCK STARS & CELEBS FOR THE VERY LATEST MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT NEWS DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE!

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Years later, those demos led to the release of ‘For King And Country’ .It was the first of three Cyan albums released in the 1990s before the project was shelved and Rob went on to form Magenta.20 years later Rob Reed, along with a killer line-up, decided to brush off the cobwebs and successfully release a completely re-worked version of the ‘For King And Country’ album.
