RundgrenRadio Tonight Joey Molland guest

RUNDGREN RADIO AIRS TONIGHT 8:30PM ET! JOEY MOLLAND IS OUR GUEST TONIGHT

RUNDGRENRADIO.COM TONIGHT TUESDAY 4/22/14! Tonight, Tuesday 4/22/14 at 8:30pm ET at www.blogtalkradio.com/runt. Tonight's show will feature special guest Joey Molland, the guitarist and sole surviving member of the British power-pop band Badfinger.  We will be discussing his new solo CD, Return To Memphis - his first in 12 years - and playing some clips from it.  Of course Todd Rundgren producing Badfinger's "Straight Up" will be mentioned as well as the song "Baby Blue" making it on the Breaking Bad TV finale.  We plan to take calls from listeners too. BADFINGER became an incredible force of virtuoso musicians churning out hit after hit while being supported by the biggest band in the world. The band’s first album was the soundtrack to the movie The Magic Christian (Magic Christian Music). Their follow-up album, No Dice spawned the Pete Ham penned classic “No Matter What” (#8 U.S. Hot 100 Hit -1970) and an Evans/Ham composition “Without You” which became a #1 Hit in 1971 for Harry Nilsson and a #3 Hit for Mariah Carey in 1994. No Dice reached #28 on Billboard’s Hot 200 albums chart. The bands third album Straight Up was regarded by many to be their best. George Harrison had considerable input on the album including playing slide guitar on “Day After Day” (#4 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1971). Leon Russell played piano on the track. The album also generated the hit single "Baby Blue" (#14 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart in 1972). George Harrison left before the album was completed to work on The Concert for Bangladesh and Todd Rundgren was brought in to finish the album. Production credits were shared between Harrison and Rundgren. In more recent news, the popular TV show, Breaking Bad, finale ended with the Badfinger song, "Baby Blue".
