"The best music history writing online!" It's rock, records, and radio, as we go behind the scenes of my years in FM rock radio and the record biz in the '70s & '80s!
Some new names & 21st-century ones. Some "older" names arise, and we're especially happy to feature an artist I used to write letters to (and he wrote back!) in the year mentioned above!😱Ready, Eric?
Back-to-back debuts: Last week with my impressive new friend, Ali, and here, we get to know Nav through HIS music! I see some familiar names! Let's dive in, Nav!
We've got a rockin' guitarist with us today who's about a half-century younger than I! I'll try not to take advantage of his youth!😉Big names we've got on the board today! Let's get to it, Ari!
We go from Liverpool to Hawaii, and to the West Coast for some beach tunes! Bob's 'Stack is called Upbeat Songs You Should Hear! He (and you!) are in the right place! Here we go!
Tune Tag loves being part of the record-release machine! This week, it's Dusty Wright's just-released new album, "Maximus Americanus"! Available NOW wherever streaming happens!
A virtual party game collab: Brain and I get together! He tosses me 5 of his fave R-Head songs (or ones he was curious to see how I'd react!), and I spin & dish! Will sparks fly, or will there be 👍s?
We get to know Joe together on this one! Looks like we'll have the '80s well-covered, don'tcha think? As we've got America 250 celebrations behind us, American Song will keep us going!
Raised in S. America, he's called the UK home almost half his life. The camera loves him, but it's not alone: Hundreds of Substack subscribers are wowed by his combo of writing, audio & video content.
Rhythm & Blues, Highs'n'Lows, young'n'old, rock'n'pop. Looks like Marty & I will be all over the musical map, here, for this one! And, isn't that what Tune Tag is all about? Welcome back, Marty!
Tom, on his Substack: “After spending time working in the music industry, I would now like to share with you my most favourite underrated artists and albums!”
It's not like we haven't met before! Keith and I have a small handful of fulfilling and eventful collabs under our respective and collective belts! We gladly add this Tune Tag to our collection!
Eclectic and electric from across the border, Mark just celebrated two years on Substack with his "Musings of a Broken Record"! A true CanCon🍁advocate, Mark has remarkably similar🎵tastes as I!
If we were Donny & Marie: 🎵"He's a little bit classical, I'm a little bit classic rock!"🎵Sam's enjoying his first round on the Tune Tag turntable, so let's make him feel at home!😁👍
Veteran successful author visits the Tune Tag arena for the first time! I can't wait to tell him I just finished my first book! Maybe tomorrow, I'll get a chance to read another one.
A handful of legends make our Tune Tag tally, but a few of these names seem new and obscure! We're happy to welcome Chris for his debut in the Tag Arena! Enjoy!
A little electric, a little eclectic! That's Tune Tag with Nick! He's a longtime supporter of all things FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE, and he's kind enough to cite me as the reason he started his Substack!😊
3 native Houstonians in the house (including me)! I used to date one of the other two! More drama awaits, and doubtless a gaggle o' giggles, too! I'm so happy to be reunited with my good friend, Matt!
Tune Tigue! It's Tune Tag with a Classical twist! The first song is Classical; then, off we go...a Tune Tag like the rest...but, like no other! Welcome, Owen! We're glad you're hear!👂🎶
Names I know have never appeared in a Tune Tag before! If you're ready to embrace the new-new with the comforting familiar, join Phillippa and I as she embarks on her maiden voyage!
