Led by pedal-steel player Susan Alcorn, this group produces some intriguing music here.

Jef Bek is a composer and musician from Chicago. He has created an album packed full of intriguing progressive rock music here.

This album, the second from Bill Bruford's solo project that went by his last name, is just getting a great remastered vinyl release from his own Winterfold Records.

This is clearly not progressive rock in any kind of traditional sense of the word.

This is an intriguing release. Apparently this act is a duo made up of a father and son, but there are a couple guests on the disc.

This act from Ohio plays an intriguing blend of music. It definitely qualifies as progressive rock, but it's not the prog of old.

This new album from Benjamin Croft is really strong. In fact, I think it's  another that's likely to make my "Best of 2024" list.

This disc has a lot of jazz in the mix. It gets into fusion territory, though, and there is a lot of art music here.

I know people might argue with me about putting this under progressive rock. I bet the band would be among those people.

This is  an intriguing set. It includes re-recorded versions of songs from various parts of Eloy's history.

It's Only a Movie was the final album from prog rock act Family. The disc gets a deluxe reissue here.

This double CD set showcases an intriguing form of progressive rock. It can be subtle and ambient.

Hawkestrel is a project led by Alan Davey. Davey is probably best known as having been the bassist for Hawkwind for quite a few years.

This is not precisely progressive rock, but it is definitely art music.

This is a unique and intriguing set. It's part jazz, part classical, and mostly freeform in terms of the musical composition.

Featuring Anthony Phillips in collaboration with guitarist Harry Williamson, this is a mellow instrumental album that is in line with a lot of Phillips' solo catalog.

This new set from the ever-changing group of musicians recording under the name "The Prog Collective" does feel a little darker than some of the rest of their music.

This is a CD issue of an album from 1977.

I love The Residents. I totally get why some people don't like them.

If you like trippy, instrumental space rock, you should check this double CD album out. Like much good space music, this evolves slowly.

This is not really progressive rock. It's definitely avant-garde, and the kind of thing that lands along the lines of the Rock in Opposition movement.

This new collection showcases live recordings from two 2023 concerts. The shows were held on two consecutive nights.

This is an instrumental album that covers a good amount of territory. Touching on jazz, folk, prog and classical styles, this is compelling music.

The latest disc from Judas Priest, this is definitely a worthy entry in their catalog.

This collection of music from Lillian Axe is pretty amazing. It includes seven CDs.

I'm a sucker for good doom metal. So, this set is definitely my kind of thing.

This band says their music is hard rock. I think it fits better under heavy metal.

This band was such an interesting outfit. Of course, for some the main claim to fame for them was the fact that Ginger Baker was the "Baker" of the group's name.

Dave Brubeck, in my opinion, was one of the jazz greats. He was an amazing pianist and released a lot of essential music.

There is something to be said for less sometimes being more. This album is so inconsistent in terms of quality and style that it's hard to follow as a full set.

With a sound that lives somewhere in the shared space between country, bluegrass and folk, Damn Tall Buildings creates effective music on that basic plan.

This is an unusual, but interesting release. Each CD is from a different concert, and actually a different era of the band.

Linda Gail Lewis is known as a pioneering female rocker.

This album is a classic example of less being more. There is not a weak song on the disc.

This album has a good mix of sounds, but since Vinnie Moore is the guitarist, you know it's going to be guitar forward and strong.

Lloyd Price is an artist who is considered an influence and originator of rock and roll. Listening to this set, I can definitely hear that.

While Mike Starrs is probably best known for his work in Colosseum II and Lucifer's Friend, he's done a lot more, including serving as the lead singer in a band that has a special place in my heart, Lake, for a while.

This is the second album from Sun King Rising, which is basically a project by John Blangero, that I've reviewed.

I've reviewed this act previously. They are duo made up of a husband and wife.

This live concert video was recorded in 1999. It includes some of the final performances of Foghat frontman Dave Peverett, who passed away the next year.

You can say what you like about Queen, and I'll personally admit that their earlier music speaks to me more than the later stuff does, but you can't deny that they were always one of the greatest live bands out there.

This Blu-Ray release captures Robin Trower in a live performance. I'll bet you figured that out from the title, right?

Do you remember the era of print fanzines? I certainly do. I collected them and even contributed to one. Well, technically I still contribute to it, but it's not print anymore, but rather online.
