    429 - Peter Holsapple of the dB's - Reissue of their debut album, Stands For Decibels
    Jul 11 2024
    The dB’s, originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, issued a pair of albums in the early Eighties that were at times both jangly and melodic, and quirky and inventive. Unfortunately, neither album saw a release in America at the time - instead getting issued by the UK label Albion.

    Now, over 40 years later, they’re issuing the dB’s debut record, Stands for Decibels, on Propeller Sound Recordings, streaming, CD, and for the first time ever in the US, vinyl. From the band, we chat with singer/guitarist Peter Holsapple, who talks about what went into reissuing this lost classic, recorded on a shoe-string budget over 4 decades ago, and the clever packaging of the CD. He also reveals plans for their second album, Repercussion, to get reissued as well.

    Holsapple toured with R.E.M. as a multi instrumentalist in the 1990's. He talks about watching the band's interview on CBS Sunday Morning, commemorating their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame

    The Fabulous Thunderbirds are an American treasure, formed in Austin, Texas in 1974, the band developed an infectious blend of blues and rock that hit pay dirt with songs like “Tuff Enuff” and “Wrap it Up” from 1986.

    The group is celebrating their 50th anniversary with the release of Struck Down, their first new material in eight years. The record features contributions from big name artists like Billy Gibbons, Bonnie Raitt, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal and Elvin Bishop. The one constant over the 50 years has been powerhouse vocalist Kim Wilson.

    427 - Tommy James - New Tour, Update on Movie, Book, Broadway Show and New Recordings
    May 30 2024
    Tommy James has sold over 100 million records, and his impressive string of hits continue to live on in movies, TV shows and commercials - "Hanky Panky," "Mony, Mony," "I Think We're Alone Now," "Crimson & Clover," "Crystal Blue Persuasion," and many more. His excellent autobiography, "Me, the Mob and the Music" is one of the greatest music books ever written, and is in preproduction to be turned into a major Hollywood movie and Broadway musical.

    James was our very first guest on Icon Fetch back in April of 2010. In our new conversation, he gives us updates on the movie, book and musical. Plus, he talks about unearthing his very first recording, "Long Pony Tail," that even predates "Hanky Panky" by two years. He also discusses recently recording songs by the Beatles and Supremes.

    He also discusses his weekly radio show, "Gettin' Together with Tommy James" on Sirius/XM.

    Tommy James is currently on the road - tour dates and more information can be found at tommyjames.com
