Legendary vocalist Robin McAuley hangs on Carr Stereo on release day for Black Swan's third record- PARALYZED- and we break down some tracks from this phenomenal supergroup that also features guitarist Reb Beach, bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Matt Starr. Will the band do live shows? What was record #3 like? What is the future for Black Swan? And what exactly does "Black Swan" mean? Robin fills us in.

Robin's work with Michael Schenker, solo and with Black Swan has put him in the category of rock's A List vocalists. I always love catching up with him.

TC Out! Tune in next week!

Truth be told. I love Darryl McDaniels. And I have always loved RUN DMC.

I have known DMC coming up on 20 years and he is the most interesting, engaging, passionate yet humble guest.

Do you hear some "background noise"? Well, that's because we caught up at Catfight Coffee - a rock and roll (and horror) themed coffee house in Boonton New Jersey that has not only great coffee, but a magic vibe.

Darryl and I hiphop deep dive to the glory days of rap in NYC, how RUN DMC were the pioneers of rock and rap merging long before their Aerosmith collaboration, we discuss his demons, his reinvention, his inspirations AND new music and future plans. Darryl is the greatest storyteller and I'm honored to have spent some time with this rock and roll hall of fame and living legend on Carr Stereo.

ENJOY!

Truly one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's was White Lion.

Great songs, killer guitar player, charismatic, hot singer, talented rhythm section and the "Pride" (no pun intended) of MTV.

Then they were gone.....I caught up with their founder Mike Tramp for a candid conversation over 30 years since our last chat (when we both were wearing leather and had GIANT hair!) about forming the band, his relationship with Vito Bratta, why the East Coast means so much to him, and more.

What happened? Was there gas still left in the tank? Did their record company support them? And Mike explains how he is still honoring the White Lion song legacy while not being the same guy he was in the 1980's.

It was a great ride, with Mike Tramp from White Lion.

Racer X, Mr. Big, and Solo- Paul Gilbert is the GOAT! Sheer guitar brilliance on a whole other level and I loved picking Paul's brain on his upcoming release WROC, early inspiration, teaching days, hearing loss and more.

Paul is also such a character with his ability to weave stories through his musical accomplishments, he's a dream interview. And his new record is something else, with music coming from him and lyrics coming from the writings of Washington's Rules Of Civility (you can't make it up!) Enjoy the musical musings of Paul Gilbert.

Some people sing, some deliver songs. John Corabi does both. John has fronted some super cool bands like The Scream, Union, The Dead Daisies and of course Motley Crue and has put out some fantastic music over the years.

This time, he has outdone himself. His first (official) solo record - "New Day" comes out on 4/24 and he has out together an incredible group of players and songs.

In this episode John discusses why music shouldn't "be boxed", his friend and touring mate Tom Keifer, songwriting, the magic of Marti Frederiksen, covering Sly and The Family Stone, Philadelphia and New Jersey music scene memories and more.

When I interview "The Crab" (as he is called) I call it "Going Crabbing" and I love talking to John! Enjoy .....

Damon Johnson is putting the band back together! His band that is. In this episode of Carr Stereo, the Brother Cane founder discusses the bands first new full album release in 28 years - Magnolia Medicine and it's first single - "If This Means War" and why the time was right to revive the power of this awesome 90's band.

Damon has played guitar with so many over the years including Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy, John Waite and of course is STILL a member of the legendary :Lynyrd Skynyrd, and not only do we talk about new music, but Damon talks about writing with his "old friend and secret weapon" Marti Frederiksen , Skynyrd moments and Brother Cane's first big tour with the mighty Van Halen.

Thanks for catching up Damon, can't wait to see you on tour!

Its always a fantastic conversation when Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale is on the other side of the mic, and in this edition of the Carr Stereo Podcast, we discuss taking Bush the distance with over 30 years of songwriting success, crafting they bands latest "I Beat Loneliness", why Charlie Puth inspires him, taking young talent on tour and how dogs have changed his life. (Oh yeah and Gavin rates his "smartness" too! lol)

Wow, did I have a BLAST sitting down to chat with Ron Keel, who many remember from his 80's band KEEL and his Country music re-birth as "Ronnie Lee Keel".

Ron is a full on "re-inventor" - with his company RFK Media, pivoting into online radio, movies, comic books and more. While never abandoning the Keel fans and constantly recreating ways to keep the 80's masses engaged.

We discuss Technology, AI, Rebranding, Gene Simmons and surrounding yourself with those that believe in you.

The "Right To Rock" is full on this week as Carr Stereo enters KEEL WORLD- with the Metal Cowboy- Ron Keel .
