  1. R.I.P. April Wine's Myles Goodwyn

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    From Mitch Lafon's Facebook page:

    April Wine’s Legendary Singer-Songwriter Myles Goodwyn Passes Away At Age 75
     
    Myles Goodwyn, singer, guitarist, writer, producer and leader of the multi-Platinum selling rock band April Wine, who shaped and directed the group from its earliest beginnings, has died today at the age of 75 at Noon Atlantic Time. No further details on cause of death, location or funeral details will be disclosed at this time. The family asks for privacy.
     
    April Wine has sold over 10 million recordings worldwide.
     
    Myles Goodwyn’s voice is as distinctive and immediately recognizable as his song writing skills are prolific. Myles and the other members of April Wine were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame in 2010.
     
    Goodwyn received the prestigious East Coast Music Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and the SOCAN National Achievement Award in 2002. In 2016 he released his memoir named, Just Between You and Me, which became an instant best seller on the Globe and Mail`s Non-Fiction List. His second book, Elvis and Tiger (fiction) was published in 2018 and was also very well received.
     
    The Myles Goodwyn and Friends Of The Blues recording released in 2018, it earned international acclaim and a JUNO nomination for Blues Recording of the Year in 2019. The recording won the ECMA award for Blues Recording of the Year in 2019. His follow up blues recording that year, Myles Goodwyn and Friends of the Blues 2, won the same blues category in 2020.
     
    Myles left the group for live performances earlier this year, and continued to perform live with his acoustic trio which includes himself, Jim Henman and Bruce Dixon until recently.

    If it is near the first 2 albums then it is definitely worth having on my radar. Thanks for the heads up.

    I would definitely recommend checking it out on Spotify, Amazon, whatever your preferred streamer is before buying. It's nowhere near the first two albums, just streets ahead of their recent output.

  23. Lynch Mob - Babylon

    Definitely the best thing released under the Lynch Mob moniker since the first two excellent discs (well, except for maybe ReVolution, but those were re-works/re-records). I actually think vocalist Gabriel Colon's voice fits the songs perfectly. Don't get me wrong, it ain't great, but it's infinitely more listenable than previous efforts over the last 25 years.
