Groundbreaking Band Fanny Gives Lessons in Rock History
Image
It is fitting to find Fanny: The Right to Rock broadcast on PBS. The channel thrives on educational material, and director Bobbi Jo Hart’s documentary teaches many lessons. The film chronicles the career, and captures the reunion of Fanny, a group of musicians who changed the dynamics of rock in the 1970s. The lineup was unique, labels and management executives dubbed them the “female Beatles.” They made history as the first all-women rock band to release an LP with a major record label.

Originally called The Svelts and rebranded as Wild Honey, Fanny was formed in the mid-1960s in Sacramento, Calif., by three Filipina American musicians: sisters June and Jean Millington, on guitar and bass, and drummer Brie Darling. All three sang. When Darling had her daughter, Brandi, in 1968, Fanny added drummer Alice de Buhr, and roving keyboardist Nickey Barclay.

As was the fashion of the time, they lived in a band house.

The Zombies’ Rod Argent Breaks Down Their New Album Different Game
Image
The Zombies only released two albums during their initial run, but the hits keep them coming back. Director Robert Schwartzman’s documentary, Hung Up on a Dream, named after a song from their classic album Odessey and Oracle, premiered at the Zach Theater during SXSW on March 12. Cooking Vinyl Records will release Different Game on March 31.

The Zombies’ first full-length album since 2015’s Billboard-charting Still Got That Hunger features founding keyboardist Rod Argent and lead singer Colin Blunstone, along with drummer Steve Rodford, guitarist Tom Toomey, and bassist Søren Koch. It retains the variety of sounds the band has been cultivating since their formation in 1961.

In 1964, The Zombies won a recording contract with Decca Records, the same label as the Rolling Stones, as first prize in a contest sponsored by The London Evening Post. Their single, “She’s Not There,” hit the charts internationally, and the band was part of...

‘It was break or bust’: Abbey Road, throat lozenges, and the frenetic making of the first Beatles album
Image
It’s 10pm on Monday 11 February 1963, and as the Abbey Road clock ticks down the final minutes of an exhausting 12-hour session, John Lennon strips to the waist, doses up on Zubes throat lozenges and throws himself into one final death-or-glory charge into rock’n’roll history.

“The last song nearly killed me,” he’d say later, recalling that last-minute take of “Twist and Shout”, which The Beatles managed to squeeze into the closing seconds of the one-day recording session for their debut album Please Please Me. A second take was abandoned as Lennon’s voice gave out altogether after a full day of howling and harmonising, powering through on throat sweets, milk and the ferocious Hamburg spirit that had seen them through countless late-night rock’n’roll marathons at the Kaiserkeller. “My voice wasn’t the same for a long time after,” he said. “Every time I swallowed it was like sandpaper.

Hear the Beatles Work Out ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ on First ‘Revolver’ Take
Image
When the Beatles started work on their masterpiece Revolver, in April 1966, they knew they were after the sound of the future. And they got there on the very first day of the sessions, with the wildly experimental buzz of “Tomorrow Never Knows (Take 1).” The psychedelic outtake was released on Friday and it’s a taste of the new Super Deluxe Edition of Revolver, which arrives on October 28. The new edition tells the story of how the Beatles took their gigantic creative leap into the unknown. As producer Giles Martin says,...

The Beatles’ Unheard ‘Revolver’: An Exclusive Preview of a Blockbuster Archival Release
Image
In the summer of 1966, the Beatles dropped Revolver — an album so far ahead of its time that the world is still catching up with it. It’s the moptops mutating at warp speed, outgrowing all their former incarnations. Paul McCartney is exploring avant-garde art and music. John Lennon is reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead. George Harrison is studying sitar and Indian mysticism. Ringo Starr has installed a pub in his basement. They’re ready to shock the world — and themselves — with their masterpiece. The result: Revolver, routinely acclaimed...

The Beatles: Abbey Road Changed Music History
Tony Sokol Sep 30, 2019

The Beatles Abbey Road 50th Anniversary celebrates an end of an era, but the album marked the beginning of a new phase.

The Beatles' Abbey Road celebrated its 50th Anniversary amidst a flurry of activity. The band dropped a music video for "Here Comes the Sun." Recently unearthed audio shows the band may not have been ready to call it quits. While it is true they still had the Let It Be album to release, Abbey Road was a step forward and a clue to a new direction. It is fitting the band named the album after the studio, because the Beatles progressed quickly during recording sessions and the Abbey Road sonic staff often rushed to keep up.

The Beatles grew from album to album, musically and lyrically, as songwriters and as musicians. Their voices were freed from the confines of pop as they demolished standards one record at a time.

Neil Young
Flashback: America Play a Hazy ‘Sister Golden Hair’ in 1980
Neil Young
Looking back, it seems odd that one of the Seventies’ greatest feel-good songs begins in such dispiriting fashion: “Well, I tried to make it Sunday/But I got so damn depressed.”

When “Sister Golden Hair” was released in 1975, America had little reason to be depressed. In the prior four years, the trio had taken over Am radio with breezy tunes like “Ventura Highway” and “Horse With No Name” that evoked images of the desert. (The latter bumped “Heart of Gold” out of the Number One slot in 1972, causing many to...

Paul McCartney at Austin City Limits: Certainly a Thrill
Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney headlined the first night of Austin City Limits on October 5th with an epic show in Zilker Park, high-energy even by his standards—even in the withering heat, this most unwitherable of rock legends just hates to put down his guitar and leave the stage. The sweat was visibly pouring off him, but his only concession was taking off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves after “I’ve Got A Feeling.” The communal vibe of a McCartney show is perfect for this festival: 60,000 people swaying in a field of grass,...

Paul McCartney: Geoff Emerick’s Work Will Be ‘Remembered By Connoisseurs of Sound’
Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney paid tribute to the humor, work ethic and fearlessness of late audio engineer Geoff Emerick, who died Tuesday from a heart attack at age 72. Emerick worked on some of the Beatles’ most revered albums, including Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road. “I’ll always remember him with great fondness, and I know his work will be long remembered by connoisseurs of sound,” McCartney wrote on his website.

How Geoff Emerick Helped the Beatles Reinvent Music
Geoff Emerick
Geoff Emerick was just a lad of 19 when he became the Beatles’ engineer, bringing his own brash approach to the experimentation the band was beginning to try in the studio. The immediate result: Revolver, the 1966 masterpiece that forever changed pop music. “A lot of that was down to Geoff Emerick,” producer George Martin told Mojo in 2007. “He brought a new kind of mind to the recordings, always suggesting sonic ideas, different kinds of reverb, what we could do with the voices. He was quite prepared to break rules. ‘You call that top?...

Beatles Engineer Geoff Emerick Dies at 72
Tony Sokol Oct 3, 2018

Geoff Emerick helped change the way sound is captured in the recording studio.

The Beatles were well known for flouting official rules in order to push the limits of what could be captured on tape, and Geoff Emerick was one of their greatest enablers. Recording engineer and producer Geoff Emerick, best known for his work with the Beatles, died of a heart attack at the age of 72, according to Variety.

“Today, at around 2’o’clock, I was making my way back from Arizona to Los Angeles to go pick up Geoff so we could transport some gold records and platinum plaques to our show in Tucson,” Emerick's manager William Zabaleta said in a statement.

“While on the phone with Geoff Emerick, he had complications, dropped the phone. At that point I called 911, but by the time they got there it was too late. So Geoff suffered from...

Sgt. Pepper at 50: 10 Highlights from the Beatles’ Newly Unearthed Session Outtakes
Beatles (2014)
Imagine finding one of van Gogh’s early sketches for “Starry Night,” or a rough draft of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. For anyone who loves music, the mammoth 50th anniversary reissue of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is just as good—if not better. The expanded package includes nearly two hours worth of outtakes from the groundbreaking 1967 sessions, offering not only an alternate-universe look at some of the most beloved tracks in the rock canon, but also a fascinating fly-on-the-wall view of four young artists at the height of their power.

Interview: Scott Freiman on ‘Deconstructing the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper Album’
Chicago – Scott Freiman is an entrepreneur, producer, composer and musicologist, and turned his primary passion – painstakingly delving into the song production techniques of The Beatles – into a series of lectures called “Deconstructing The Beatles.” He has turned those lectures into films, and “Deconstructing The Beatles Sgt. Pepper Album” will screen in Chicago at area Landmark Cinemas on February 6th, 2017.

The 50th anniversary of the release of the album “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” will be June 1st, 1967, and the record marked a crossover of sorts for the Fab Four, from the mop-top image of their early career to the introspective studio musicians in the second half of their collaboration. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr had just finished their last live show in August of 1966, and launched Sgt. Pepper amid rumors that they were finished as a band. “Pepper” was universally popular, and was the number one album in the U.

The Fifth Beatle: 9 of George Martin's Greatest Hits with the Fab Four
Paul McCartney
"If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle, it was George," Sir Paul McCartney wrote Wednesday after the death of legendary producer George Martin. That's no small tribute, but Martin earned it. Aside from signing the Beatles when no one else would - a laurel plenty of people would have been happy to rest on - he worked closely with the group in the studio, where he and Abbey Road engineer Geoff Emerick embarked on a series of musical innovations that made the Beatles' discography as groundbreaking as it was catchy. Below, some of Martin's best moments with the group.
