TO LISTEN IN ITS ENTIRETY

 


Keyboardist Derek Sherinian has more than made a name for himself. After all, MusicRadar.com deemed him “A true shredder, his virtuoso playing has seen him dubbed the keyboard-playing version of Eddie Van Halen,” in 2020. Moreover, in 2021 he was voted Greatest Keyboardist Of The 21st Century, and the eighth Greatest of All Time by the same site, and Prog Magazine saw him voted the ninth Greatest Keyboardist Ever.

But then you don’t rack up a resumé such as his without some serious chops, having worked with the likes of Dream Theater, Black Country Communion, Billy Idol, Whitesnake - David Coverdale stating in 2020 “Derek plays like the son of Jon Lord”, - Kiss, current band Sons Of Apollo, and Alice Cooper - who in 1989 called him the “Caligula of keyboards”. The new studio album from world acclaimed keyboardist Derek Sherinian, (Sons of Apollo, Black Country Communion), ‘Vortex’, is out today!

On the new album Sherinian is once again joined by legendary drummer Simon Phillips, who co-wrote and co-produced the album, as well as Tony ‘The Fretless Monster’ Franklin, on bass. 

Derek has this to say about the release of the album:

“Simon and I have found the ultimate blend of rock, prog, and fusion on VORTEX, enjoy!”

"VORTEX is one of this year's must-have records for musicians and fans of virtuoso rock." Says CLASSIC ROCK.

BOOK TRAILER

 

BOOK REVIEW

-By Literary Titan (5) STARS


The Rock Star Chronicles by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show. 

The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan. 

Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives. 

The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music.  The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.

I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.

THE RAY SHASHO SHOW WELCOMES WORLD-RENOWNED SINGER AND SONGWRITER BETH HART

RAY SHASHO INTERVIEWS 
THE INCREDIBLE BETH HART


THE RAY SHASHO SHOW WELCOMES 
PRODIGIOUS SINGER AND SONGWRITER
 BETH HART

Our Very Special Guest Today is Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Beth Hart who has been recognized across the world as one of the great live vocalists of our time. For 20 years, she has been leveling audiences with her incredible power, range and soul. Four of the greatest lead guitar legends in the business knew this, which is why they asked her to perform with them: in concert with Jeff Beck, in concert and on two spellbinding albums (Don’t Explain and Seesaw) with Joe Bonamassa, on two powerhouse records with Slash (on Beth’s own track, Sister Heroine, and on Slash’s Mother Maria) and on a very special blues album (Rhythm and Blues) with Buddy Guy.

It’s no wonder she’s been nominated for two Blues Music Awards. Time and time again Beth has sold out venues around the world. But maybe her greatest live performance to date was seen by millions of television viewers, when her tribute to Buddy Guy on the Kennedy Center Honors Special received one of the only 2 standing ovations of the evening, led by President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. Every live performance gets a standing ovation, because no one knows how to rock the house better than Beth Hart.
Beth Hart’s latest release is entitled Better Than Home.
This album isn’t about the problems Beth faced in her life. Instead, she’s choosing to find the good things that have been there all along: accepting and loving her parents for who they really are, appreciating a good husband, facing her fears head on and ultimately finding ways to heal and convert that positive energy into music that moves people. This is an incredibly moving, self written and composed, album that’s going to reach people on a very personal level, because a one-of-a-kind artist found the perfect formula for exposing her very private inner voice and empowering it with her legendary outer voice. Because of that, it simply doesn’t get better than Beth Hart’s, self written and composed, ‘Better Than Home.’

Track Listing:
 01 Might As Well Smile
 02 Tell ‘Em To Hold On
 03 Tell Her You Belong To Me
 04 Trouble
 05 Better Than Home
 06 St. Teresa
 07 We’re Still Living In The City
 08 The Mood That I’m In
 09 Mechanical Heart
 10 As Long As I Have A Song
 11 Mama This One’s For You (bonus)* *Bonus track: available on limited edition only.

"The first time I heard or watched Beth Hart was on a You Tube video several years back. Beth and her band sang the Humble Pie classic “I Don’t Need No Doctor” (In a stunning live performance in Amsterdam) and I immediately thought to myself …This chick can save rock and roll! Then I watched “Am I the One” again (Another live thriller from Amsterdam) I became completely mesmerized and I just knew I was watching a legend in the making.

Nobody can naturally interpret the heart, soul, and talent reminiscent to the glory days of Rock, Blues and R&B like Beth Hart. I truly believe that Beth alone can revive the genre of rock and the blues. She is the rock and roll savior and should be a household name very soon here in the USA, because she is in just about every other place around the world." ...Ray Shasho Music Journalist

Please welcome to the Ray Shasho Show … Dynamic singer and songwriter … … savior of rock and the blues …Beth Hart.
