The Josh Joplin Group, fronted by its namesake, had a #1 hit on Triple A radio with “Camera One” in 2001. Another one of Joplin’s songs, “Blue Skies Again,” was recorded by Jessica Lea Mayfield on her critically-acclaimed album, Tell Me. Joplin has released several solo albums and films as well. <br /><br />His new record, GpYr (pronounced Gap Year), is his first under his own moniker since 2013. Among the many highlights is "Before the Light Takes Us," which features Joplin's daughter on guitar and vocals.<br /><br />We also talk about his time away from touring as a stay at home dad, and how that pausing his career helped give a new perspective for this next chapter.

Resilient is the best word that describes the Cowsills. The six sibling band hit in 1967 with "The Rain, the Park and Other Things," then with "Hair" in 1969. But, their career quickly derailed (chronciled in the excellent documentary Family Band). The group triumphantly returned with the excellent Rhythm of the World album in 2022. <br /><br />But, there's more to the story. The group recorded an album in 1992 that never saw a proper release. Part of the reason....involves the FBI!<br /><br />Now, over 30 years later, Omnivore Recordings has issued the album, Global, and it's fantastic. A power pop masterpiece. If you're a fan of artists like Matthew Sweet or the Gin Blossoms, you will definitely dig it.<br /><br />We chat once again with Susan Cowsill, who talks about the crazy circumstances surrounding Global. Plus, she reveals plans for new Cowsill projects, and the annual Happy Together tour, coming to a city near you in the summer of 2025.

Iain Matthews fronted the influential British band, Fairport Convention for their first three albums before embarking on a solo career that’s lasted almost 60 years. With Matthews Southern Comfort he scored a hit cover version of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” in 1970, had a solo hit in 1979 with “Shake It,” and the Eagles’ borrowed his arrangement of the Steve Young song, “Seven Bridges Road” for their live album. <br /><br />After saying he was done making solo albums, here he is with How Much is Enough, on Sunset Boulevard Records. Whether this is his last, who knows? But it’s damn good to hear him again.
