John Fogerty has had a few remakes and tributes to the original CCR material over the years. However, now with more creative freedom in part due to the Creedence Clearwater Revival's publishing rights back in Fogerty's hands, this time he records a true modern day studio tribute to the original material. Which songs are the best ones revisited on this album, you be the judge, in the meanti...

The Rolling Stones have many live albums, streaming or physical media concert performances, and bootlegs over the years. Yet they still chose in 2023 to dust off and release what was originally a pay-per-view special for a broader physical/digital release over 10 years later. Is "GRRR LIVE!" worth the extra attention. The Dude thinks so, but you'll have to tune in to see if you agree...

Released in 2024, Mike Campbell continued to grow his Dirty Knobs catalog with this latest full album release. While still a great straight forward rock and roll journey, there was the feeling of a little less variety on this album, then with the band's first two releases. Still, when you find some great straight forward rock and roll in this day and age...you take it! #mikecampbell #thedirtyk...

The tongue and cheek in the title of this album alone, shows Cheap Trick is still in fine form. Even if the title wasn't clever, the music on this latest album from the band released in late 2025, shows even at this point in their career, they are still hitting their stride! #cheaptrick #allwashedup #ddclassicrock #podcast -Spotify Playlist Link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6w6iieMxvTX0c...

Some bands seem to find or rediscover their groove, when it's driven by politics or political stance. U2 always seems to circle back to arrive in this category. Aside from the messages U2 is looking to convey on this EP, as The Dude isn't here to talk politics...I'm here for the Rock n' Roll. The sound on a good portion of this EP seems to indicate the band has returned to form in terms of that re...

"Wish You Were Here" has always been one of Pink Floyd's iconic albums, with only a five-track listing. Despite that, it would be almost impossible to find a better progressive/psychedelic rock entry of the era. With a polished up and extended 50th Anniversary now released, The Dude Dives in with his thoughts on this edition. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #wishyouwerehere #pinkfloy...

We also, touch base on another podcast with an episode featuring an Alice Cooper experience, that is also worth the listen. #ddc...

Billy Idol is back with his first new full-length album in over a decade.

The Van Halen...Van Hagar Years, for many years were shelved after "The Breakup Number Two" between Sammy Hagar and the Van Halen Brothers. However, in 2023 The Van Hagar Albums finally...FINALLY received the re-master treatment in "The Collection II". The result is a mostly satisfying box set, especially for the album "5150". While Sammy and Eddie reconciled a bit be...
