Inside the Business of Music Publishing [Episode 209]
Our guest is veteran music publisher and industry expert Randall Wixen, who has just released the fifth edition of his book The Plain and Simple Guide To Music Publishing.
Music publishing is one of the most complex parts of the music business, and yet it can be the most lucrative area of income for musicians. Wixen presents a clear, concise approach on how music publishing works today. The book includes a foreword by Tom Petty, among the many who put their trust in Wixen with their music catalog. Wixen is one of the most respected names in the music industry. He’s the founder of Wixen Music Publishing, Inc. in Los Angeles. With a sister company, Wixen Music UK Ltd. in London, the companies administer the song catalogs of many top artists from the last 50 years, ranging from George Harrison, the Doors, Neil Young and Tom Petty, to the Black Keys, Andrew Bird and Fitz & The Tantrums.
Randall gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the music publishing business in this interview plus his thoughts on the recent legal battle between Daryl Hall and John Oates, the famous 1984 lawsuit where John Fogerty was being sued for stealing a song he wrote himself, the Vanilla Ice vs Queen legal battle over his use of the song "Under Pressure", and more. This is a fascinating look at the side of the music business few know.

From Mod Beginnings to Rock Legends: Exploring The Small Faces and Faces Discography [Episode 208]
Andrew Darlington is the author of the brand new book The Small Faces and The Faces: Every Album, Every Song.
They started out as a mod fourpiece with Steve Marriott on lead vocals. With hit singles including “Itchycoo Park”, “Lazy Sunday”, “All Or Nothing”, and “Tin Soldier”, they evolved into one of the UK’s most successful bands by the end of the 60s. After Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, the remaining members Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones joined forces with singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood to start a new era as Faces. The band’s 1971 album A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, became a worldwide hit, thanks to the single, "Stay with Me". But by the mid-70s, Faces was no more and the members would go on to forge new phases of their careers, most notably Rod Stewart. But the music of the Small Faces and Faces is not forgotten. In the latest book in Sonicbond’s On Track series, Darlington lays out the full story of the Small Faces and Faces song-by-song, from the very start, to the very end.

Great White Guitarist Mark Kendall [Episode 204]
It’s another chapter in The Dialogue Series - A chill ‘n chat with authors, fellow podcasters, musicians, and more. Our guest is Great White guitarist and founding member Mark Kendall.
Kendall is the founding member of the the Grammy nominated band whose sold over 10 million albums worldwide, has six Top 100 Billboard hits including the top ten single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, and two platinum albums. Kendall took some time out during Great White’s summer tour to talk about his days growing up in Huntington Beach, California, the artists and bands who influenced him, the formation of Great White, their rise to fame by the end of the 80s and the stories behind the biggest hits including “Rock Me”, “Save Your Love”, “Once Bitten Twice Shy”, “House Of Broken Love”, “Mista Bone”, and “Call It Rock & Roll”. I also asked Kendall if he’s got some favorite rock and roll books in his library and if he ever plans on writing a book.

Customer Reviews
The Podcast for Music Fans That Gets You in Deeper Than a Bookworm
Eric Senich gets music and draws out of great authors who also gets music. Senich has you “covered” driving deep into stories of bands, albums, and songs and giving you that backstage pass that’s truly behind the music, no VH-1 pun intended. Senich is a true music connoisseur and brings you from one end of the spectrum to another with bands such as Sisters of Mercy to Led Zeppelin, to The Doors, to Tom Petty, to KISS, to The Cure, and to his near and near Eddie Van Halen. I find myself “chatting” with Senich during the podcast bringing up points, trivia, or insights the he ends up immediately echoing. Listening to Booked on Rock is a conversation of rock-n-roll at its best that educates and delights. It will make you smile and you will DISCover something new with every episode.
Great podcast
Really good podcast, which usually helps me decide whether or not to buy a book on music.
Eric used to do another podcast which I really loved where he would breakdown a bands history, very insightful and good production values. Miss that!
Eric is a Massively Skilled Interviewer
I’ve known Eric since 1999 and his journalistic talent was tremendous then! It’s no surprise that his interviewing prowess is on par with the best in the business!!
