It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast Don DiMuccio

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, record promoter / press liaison / artistic director TONY KING discusses his seven decades as a behind the scenes figure in rock & roll, whose work proved vital in both the careers and lives of artists like Roy Orbison, John Lennon, Elton John, and most notably The Rolling Stones, as tour press director for over 20 years. From his days as a young man looking after artists for Decca Records, to attending the infamous live taping of The Beatles “All You Need is Love”, to playing an integral role in John Lennon's last live concert appearance joining Elton John on stage in 1974, Tony recounts his amazing rock & roll adventures, as well as his new autobiography “The Tastemaker: My Life with the Legends and Geniuses of Rock Music”.

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, guitarist and hit songwriter for one of rock's most mythical and influential bands The Doors, ROBBY KRIEGER talks about his early years as a Jewish kid living in an upper-middle class “waspy” neighborhood, and how a penchant for blues slide-guitar earned him a slot in the now iconic quartet. We also discuss the band's early gigs, the story behind him writing their first #1 hit “Light My Fire”, how they each received Vietnam draft notices, and more anecdotes from his autobiography “Set the Night on Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar with the Doors”.

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we feature 1960's hit-maker TOMMY JAMES, who along with his band The Shondells, released a string of classics including “Crimson and Clover”, “Mony Mony”, “Hanky Panky”, “I Think We're Alone Now”, and others. Tommy discusses how he went from a middle-America upbringing, to working and recording for Roulette Records, which in reality was a front for the Genovese crime family. Topics also include which of his biggest hits initially featured heavy breathing (inevitably deemed too risqué for radio); why one of his most famous singles is actually the rough mix; his worst live on-stage experience; his "introduction" to The Beatles; and many captivating anecdotes from his bestselling autobiography “Me, The Mob, and The Music”.

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and founding member of the legendary band Traffic, DAVE MASON talks about his sometimes-tumultuous tenure with the band, and how moving from England to the United States over fifty years ago introduced him to a slew of like-minded musicians from Gram Parsons to Cass Elliot. Mason also discusses his session work with Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney & Wings, George Harrison, and The Rolling Stones, as well as his songs “Feelin Alright”, “Only You Know And I Know” and “We Just Disagree”. Additionally, Dave talks about his latest tour (including one particularly scary on-stage moment from a few years back), the state of radio in an online world, working with the King of Pop, and even a bit of politics gets thrown in the mix.
