Riff Raff was a legendary rock magazine based in London in the late 80s and 90s. A genuine working class rock mag, written and edited by "the lads" in a drug-N-Jack-D-fuelled haze, it was just too R n’R for its own good, falling behind more trainspotterly publications like Q, Kerrang, and Mojo. This website is an archive and kind of shrine to the writing of its greatest "hacks," most of whom have faded in embarrassing middle age, with at least one of them having a Smule account.
Guitar god Joe Bonamassa has gone back-to-basics for his 13th studio album. Harking back to the glory days of early '60s rock n' blues, producer Kevin Shirley has assembled a unique group of musos including Aerosmith's Brad Whitford. From inspired self-penned originals Dislocated Boy, Heavenly Soul, Somewhere Trouble Don't Go and the road-tested title track Driving Towards The Daylight to rugged-rock cover versions of Howlin Wolfs' Who's Been Talking, Robert Johnsons' Stones In My Passway, Tom Waits' New Coat Of Paint, Bill Withers' Lonely Town Lonely Street, Bernie Marsden's A Place In My Heart, Willie Dixon's I Got All You Need and the Jimmy Barnes classic Too Much Ain't Enough Love, it's a balanced affair highlighting the guitarist's signature style. Another gutsy performance from the blues rock titan - Lucky 13!
