“Ghost and the Witness” is from Earl Greyhound’s brand-new Suspicious Package album due out on April 13th on Hawk Race Records. As you know or will soon hear, EG rock out in a way that we can be proud of!
And we’ll have them on the Beyond Beyond is Beyond show on East Village Radio on April 8th, right before the album’s release. But for now, crank this fukker up!
Earl Greyhound-Ghost And The Witness
It’s nice to get an occasional pat on the back for the love that you put into your work…you know? And in the world of commercial radio, it’s hard to know what’s good and bad and what’s right and wrong anymore…and I would venture to say that anyone in radio that thinks they know, simply don’t.
As the head writer and associate producer for our very small Nights With Alice Cooper production team, we are constantly doing a balancing act between playing to formula and being innovative. So it was nice to see NWAC (among other great terrestrial, satellite and internet programs) recognized in the most recent Elmore Magazine.
Reversing a long decline, a new flowering of soulful and creative rock programming has gained momentum on the radio. It is heard on commercial and public/community terrestrial stations, via satellite and on the Internet.
Inventive, imaginative, hip music programming is cropping up or becoming established on stations and websites, allowing listeners once starved for variety and ‘deep catalogue’ to hear everything from Alice Cooper’s favorite 1960s-era garage-rock songs to funky, forgotten post-war blues gems from Cincinnati’s King Records.”

This Thursday on the ol’ East Village Radio show that I like to call Beyond Beyond is Beyond, I will be talking to the gold-throated ‘god of hellfire’ himself, the amazing Arthur Brown. As seen here, freaking the fuck out…
Esoteric Recordings is reissuing much of Arthur’s works, including the groundbreaking, earth-shaking Crazy World of Arthur Brown album, as well as Arthur Brown’s Kingdom Come albums.
I will also be paying tribute to MAN‘s fantastic guitarist/vocalist/songwriter, Micky Jones, who just passed away on March 10th, losing the battle to a brain tumor that he had been fighting for years. Micky will live on for many through the fine, fine music that he leaves behind. R.I.P. Micky…and thank you for the jams.
Coincidentally, Esoteric Recordings also did the superb remastering job with the MAN catalog as well, so this Thursday will be Esoteric Fest on Beyond Beyond is Beyond. So listen live at noon eastern, Thursday, March 18th to East Village Radio and let’s celebrate jams together! Sound good?
UPDATE: HERE’S THE ARCHIVE OF THIS SHOW! (…and the Playlist)
Legendary progressive rock and jazz drummer, Bill Bruford, has written a brilliant new autobiography, published by the good folks at Jawbone Press, so I lucked out and got this chance to talk to him on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday!
The book is absolutely brilliant and covers all the eras of Bill’s career, from Yes to King Crimson to UK to Gong to Genesis to Bruford to Earthworks, and we’ll definitely have lots to talk about on East Village Radio on Thursday at noon eastern, so be sure to tune in! Plus I’ll be giving away a copy of the book to one lucky winner. Email me your favorite Bruford tune at beyondbeyondisbeyond (at) gmail (dot) com for your chance to win it!
