September 3 delivers one heck of a trip through music history! 🎙️🤘
CLASSICKONG kicks things off with two heavy-metal landmarks released six years apart—Iron Maiden’s Powerslave and Judas Priest’s Painkiller. Then we change gears with George Michael’s brilliant Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 and take a closer look at the remarkable musician behind the superstar image.
We remember the great Walter Becker of Steely Dan, explore outlaw-country pioneer Tompall Glaser and Nashville’s Hillbilly Central, and travel back to 1940 to hear what happened when Artie Shaw put a harpsichord into a jazz combo.
We’re also celebrating Thin Lizzy founding guitarist Eric Bell, Grand Funk Railroad drummer, singer and songwriter Don Brewer, Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine, and Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.
And since it’s U.S. Bowling League Day, CLASSICKONG is headed to the lanes—with a little jukebox nostalgia along for the ride. 🎳🎶
From heavy metal and jazz to sophisticated pop, outlaw country and American hard rock, today’s stories share one important lesson:
Trust your ears. Trust your instincts. Find your own voice.
