Stephen Bladd Biography by Joe Viglione https://www.allmusic.com/.../stephen-bladd-mn0000111796...
The only native Bostonian in the J.Geils Band, Stephen Jo Bladd was born on July 13, 1942, hailing from the Dorchester/Mattapan area of the capital of Massachusetts. Drummer with Peter Blankfield -- better known as Peter Wolf -- in the Boston area band the Hallucinations, they are both said to have worked at a framing shop on Newbury Street along with Hallucinations member Doug Slade. Former WBCN disc jockey Buffalo used to air "rare tapes" on 104.1 FM and told AMG that there were early recordings made by Bladd and Blankfield known as "The Bathroom Tapes" produced at Wolf's apartment in the Queensberry St./Newbury St. section of the Back Bay of Boston. Barry Tashian of the Remains lived in the same building and as more urban legend has it, was in the room at the time of the recordings. They were called "The Bathroom Tapes" because of the echo utilized off the walls in the bathroom of Wolf's apartment, and they are said to contain four songs. More material was allegedly recorded in an M.I.T. classroomon with Wolf's reel-to-reel WebcoTape recorderer. These are the first known tapes of Bladd, legendary drummer for the J.Geils Band. One tune was played on 93.7 WCGY in 1992 when Wolf appeared on "The Demo That Got The Deal" radio show

10)B.F. Raid (Boston's Final Raid) - Hollywood With Snakes
%20-%20Hollywood%20With%20Snakes%20-%20YouTube.png)
This is the first track from B.F. Raid (Boston's Final Raid) for their upcoming album due summer of 2024 is "Hollywood with Snakes." Probably written for Harvey Weinstein with lines like " Find yourself on the casting couch."
It's too funny how I'm currently reading - actually in the middle of the book The Fox that Got Away by Stephen M. Silverman! All they were doing in the early days of Hollywood was the casting couch. And here you have producer Bob Ezrin - who created those masterpiece Alice Cooper albums, working on the current Deep Purple if you look above on this list at #1. Alice's pet snake sure made the round, and over all these years it must be multiple snakes! This song seems to lean into inspiration from Ezrin's work, it is hard driving, think Ozzy solo or Sabbath itself. Well produced, bold vocals and that special something that makes for repeated spins.

Ward One: Along the Way Review by Joe Viglione
This is an extraordinary album from the drummer of Black Sabbath, released on the California label Chameleon. The music is expertly defined, produced, and engineered by Peter R. Kelsey, while "lyrics and musical arrangement" by Bill Ward is the hint that this is Ward's baby all the way. It opens with Kiss/Black Sabbath/Alice Cooper substitute drummer Eric Singer on the skins and Ward on vocals. That tune, "Shooting Gallery," has a riff that you can't place and an overwhelming presence; it gives way to another Ward vocal on "Short Stories," which blends nicely into "Bombers (Can Open Bomb Bays)," with Ozzy Osbourne on lead vocals. The track is tremendous. "Pink Clouds an Island" brings Ward back to the lead vocals, and it is as strange as it sounds. It is a bridge to another gem with another guest star: The distinctive voice of Cream's Jack Bruce adds a haunting element to the sparse guitar excursion that is "Light Up the Candles (Let There Be Peace Tonight)." There is not a bad track on this disc -- it is heavy, it is well-produced, and creative ideas flow all over the place. Ward returns to center stage for a metallic stomp called "Snakes and Ladders," complete with Keith Lynch and Rue Phillips damaging guitars. Where progressive rock and metal fans alike found Phil Collins leaving the drums for the microphone sacrilege, Ward proves that he, not Ian Gillan, and not a thousand other faceless vocalists, had the charm to front Black Sabbath during the days without Ozzy. "Snakes and Ladders" is relentless, a stomp with guitar textures that would make Tony Iommi proud. Ozzy returns for his second and final track, "Jack's Land": "It's a simple enough task, boys, to find a living miracle." This is classic Ozzy, maybe a bit more refined. Ward strikes many poses, but the gentleman on page two of the booklet seems like the clever chap who concocted this incredible brew. The fact is, Ward One: Along The Way is stronger than many discs put out by all the people involved with it. Chameleon has to be commended, on one hand, for allowing it to see the light of day, and chastised for letting Ward's superb solo disc get lost in the shuffle. "Jack's Land" and Ozzy's vocal fade out and metallic riffs move in as Ward takes the drums, keyboards, and vocals back. Phil Collins again comes to mind -- as a producer, his drum sound on the hit "Easy Lover" for Philip Bailey was something that saved Collins from eternal damnation, but Ward gets equally significant drum sounds and a perfectly eerie vocal on "Living Naked"; "Music for a Raw Nerve Ending" adds early Who sounds to the quasi-Iron Maiden sludge. Bruce returns for a strange "Tall Stories," and Ward closes it out with "Sweep" and the title track, "Along the Way." Absolutely excellent stuff.

12)OTIS LAST FOOL IN LINE
%20Otis%20-%20Last%20Fool%20in%20the%20Line%20(Official%20Lyric%20Video)%20-%20YouTube.png)
Almost four minutes (3:56) of snarling, bluesy rock guitar, with a riff that won't quit. From the publicist: It is the band's first release of new music in seven years. Boone Froggett is the lead singer/lead guitarist
Recorded in a live full band take at The Rock House in Franklin Tennessee, the single was produced, engineered and mixed by renowned Grammy Award winning musician Kevin McKendree (Brian Setzer, George Thorogood) and mastered by Ty Tabor of the acclaimed US rock band Kings X.
Kentucky born and bred, OTIS, which formed in 2015, is a young, hard rocking quartet who performs and plays their exciting music like they’ve been around for 40 years.
Alongside Boone, John Seeley (bass), Alex Wells (guitar), and Dale Myers (drums),
these tight-knit guys stay connected to their homegrown roots having
been around traditional instruments from a young age in piano, fiddle,
and guitar instilling in them an appreciation of country-rock,
bluegrass, blues, soul, and folk music.
The
band blends roots, blues, classic rock, soul, and, of course, Southern
rock and has created an original sound reminiscent of some of the great
blues-rock/Southern rock bands like the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
ZZ Top and Wet Willie.
The group has a YouTube channel worth checking out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKOUgrzTTAvtth30H_xKDlw
