This new Blu-Ray release captures a show from Toto's 40th anniversary tour. Now that they have decided to hang it up as a band, this is even more poignant.

This is the quintessential coffee table book. That’s particularly true for those who love guitars.

The whole “do an album of covers” concept is a popular approach these days.

Come for the performances, stay for the documentary type stuff. A big chunk of this is all about some incredible live performances with musicians ranging from Joe Satriani to Buddy Guy to Slash, Neal Schon and Steve Lukather and more.

As I mentioned when I reviewed the video release of this, I’ve never been a huge fan of Paul Rodgers.

I’ve got to admit to something that might be considered by some to be sacrilege.

This anthology of songs from John Wetton is quite strong. It’s not all progressive rock, and for the most par even when it lands there, it’s more in the AOR end of the spectrum.

This CD is one of the latest in a series of audiophile discs coming out.

This album is just getting reissued.

This group is a spin-off of the band Potter's Daughter.

Yoso is an interesting group. It is two former members of Yes (Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood) and Bobby Kimball of Toto.

This album has never been released before. The story behind its creation is unusual. 

This is a review of the Japanese import version of Heaven & Earth which features a lot of musicians that Stuart Smith assembled for this great band.

This new set is part of a series of releases, that I treat as separate artists. Perhaps I should have started doing it differently.

Everything about this operation screams "classy." What I'm reviewing here is a double CD set.

This is quite a diverse set, covering things from jazz to hard rock, progressive rock and more.

This Derek Sherinian disc is just getting the reissue treatment.

This is a concept album, but I'm not really clear on the concept. I do know that it opens and closes in the same place, after taking a ride across two CDs.

This disc features drum master Simon Phillips playing with Greg Howe, Ernest Tibbs and Dennis Hamm.

This is a reissue of an older Kiss tribute album. It was originally called "Spin the Bottle," and I remember seeing it around that first time out.

It would be easy for a cynical person to assume that this was some hastily assembled set to cash in after the death of Jack Bruce.

Sin After Sin was really a transitional album for Judas Priest.

Stuart Smith put together this band some time ago and made an album, then later put out this amazing DVD that showcases many of the proceedings in the studio while working on the project.

I remember when this album first came out, I wasn’t really very impressed by it.

So many times discs like this are really uneven. Well, that’s not the case here.

Let’s address one thing up front, the music here is probably not progressive rock.

This is an unusual set. Ciro Manna is an Italian guitarist known for his jazz styled sounds.
