A music legend has passed away: Ronald LaPread, founding bassist of The Commodores, died at 75 after a sudden medical event. His daughter confirmed the news, honoring a career that helped define R&B and funk with hits like “Brick House” and “Three Times a Lady.” LaPread’s journey began at Tuskegee Institute, where he laid the foundation for a global sound that toured with the Jackson 5 and shaped Motown’s legacy. After leaving the group in 1986, he settled in New Zealand, still occasionally performing with his iconic band. The mayor of Tuskegee praised his enduring influence on young musicians. His death ma...

Mark Kendall drops big news: Great White’s got three new tracks locked in, plus seven more ideas on tape — and with the band’s creative energy swirling, they’re eyeing a full album of 16 or 17 songs. The magic happens organically — Kendall jams a riff during soundcheck, and the band instantly locks in. New vocalist Brett Carlisle, who joined in late 2022, feels like a natural fit — younger than the classic lineup but with an old-soul vibe that matches Great White’s legacy. Carlisle, a lifelong guitarist and singer since age eight, says the band welcomed him like family. Studio time’s tricky...

Mick Jagger’s solo album gamble in 1992 took an unexpected turn when producer Rick Rubin brought him to a LA blues club—and he ended up jamming onstage with the Red Devils, channeling raw, youthful energy. In just fourteen hours, they recorded thirteen live blues covers that Rubin thought would be the hit album. But Jagger wanted something more polished, leading to his gold-selling but forgettable Wandering Spirit. Meanwhile, the Red Devils’ own Rubin-produced album got critical acclaim but flopped commercially, and the band disbanded soon after their frontman’s tragic death in 1998. Though Jagger only released one song from tha...
