Joe Vitale recently shared his awesome new single Feels Like Home with the world. Have a listen. We guarantee you’ll be hittin’ “Replay” again and again….and again.

Veteran songwriter, musician and all-around good guy Joe Vitale will make a book signing appearance at the Winchester Music Hall in Cleveland on January 6th starting at 9 pm.

We first got to read Joe’s book BACKSTAGE PASS back when the ink was still wet. It’s a collection of stories from his years on the rock and roll road, with tales from tours with Ted Nugent, Joe Walsh, the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, among others. Our favorite: Joe’s foiled plan to declare Charlie the Tuna chief spokesfish for the Save the Whales campaign.

This past week, Capitol released Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band.

It always debatable whether or not a compilation is ever “ultimate,” however, this 2 disc collection comes pretty close. It contains 26 remastered songs including all of Seger’s top ten hits, movie favorites from Beverly Hills Cop and Risky Business, as well as FM-radio staples and best-loved tracks from his million-selling albums.

Don’t know whether is was the fertile soil which ended up in the pots of the marijuana plants or the natural “Rocky Mountain High” at 5000 feet above sea level, but something in Boulder, Colorado in the early 70′s spawned successful recording artists like no other spot on the planet. Everybody hung out there, from the likes of Chicago and Elton John to Stephen Stills and Joe Walsh.

In between all of this “artistry”, guitarist Jock Bartley, along with ex-Flying Burrito Brother Rick Roberts, tested the waters with Firefall
in the local club scene, and before they knew it, they had a record deal. You remember them. A staple on the Adult Contemporary charts, the band scored twelve Top 50 hits between 1976 and 1983. I wore out several C-60 magnetic cassette tapes constantly listening to “You are the Woman,” “Just Remember I Love You” and “Strange Way” on my Panasonic portable.

Don’s in Williamsburg, VA for tonight’s James River Jam fundraiser. He was caught rehearsing together with JD Souther, with whom it’s noted he’ll close the show doing Heartache Tonight, the Grammy-winning Eagles tune Souther helped co-write.

Don and JD’s association goes back a long way, which of course, brings us to another Felder trivia question:
