Palace - Rock and Roll Radio

New album for Palace, the third in a row, and this time Michael has managed to come closer to the music vision he has for Palace… to capture all the things he likes about the 80s rock music in general. Then again, apart from the massive 80s influences and the nostalgic feeling, “Rock and Roll Radio” does have a contemporary and fresh sound on the whole.

Don Dokken - Solitary

Having heard about DD’s misfortune of losing control of his upper limbs after a spinal surgery not going according to plan, I was surprised to hear my CIE telling me – “hey get this, a new Dokken solo album”… I thought this might be an actual proper pressing of “Solitary”, the second album Don self-released in the middle 00’s. It’s a largely acoustic affair, which has Don collaborating with an impressive array of musicians.
