Ritchie Blackmore – "Stargazer" (Rising, 1976)
Blackmore built the riff on a cello and soloed in Phrygian dominant, all under a full orchestra, for Dio's tale of a wizard's doomed tower.

George Duke wrote the music, Frank Zappa wrote the lyrics.

I was happy & honored that he did" -GD
Zappa chose to highlight the bigotry of society, with a great lyric..

Looking Back at "Apache" Live in 2003🎸
A lot of people view "Apache" as just another catchy 60s surf rock instrumental. But watching The Shadows perform it live in 2003 on their farewell tour, you realize it’s way more than nostalgia. It's basically a masterclass in tone control and stage presence.
Hank doesn't yank on the whammy bar or bend the strings aggressively like a modern rock player. Instead, he barely touches it. That light touch creates a smooth, shimmering echo that gives the track its wide-open, Western feel.
Brian Bennett’s opening drum intro isn't just keeping time—it's the backbone of the song. It creates the groove that lets Hank’s red Fender Stratocaster cut through the mix without needing a wall of heavy distortion.
Watching Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch move in sync on stage, you're looking at the prototype for modern band stagecraft. Even in their late 60s, they played with zero effort. They weren't flexing complex techniques just to flex; every single note was right where it needed to be.
"Apache" proves a simple point, Great music isn't always about how fast you can play. It’s about the space between the notes, the feel, and knowing how to let the sound breathe.
A timeless piece of music by guys who truly knew what they were doing. 🎸✨

Ronnie Lane delivers a stunning vocal on "Song of a Baker," capturing Small Faces' full range. They're firing on all cylinders, and Steve Marriott's backing vocals give pure chills.
"I've never stopped listening to vinyl. I was very disappointed when the CDs came out because I didn't like the way they sounded. So much was lost with CDs, and then MP3s, they took away much of the depth. The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.” - Jimmy Page
