Lord Of The Highway
''Lord of the Highway'' is an album by the American musician Joe Ely, released in 1987. It had been three and a half years since his previous album, during which time he recorded an unreleased album for MCA Records, assembled a new band, and toured. Ely supported the album with a North American tour. Production Ely considered the album to be merely recorded (on an 8-track, at Ely's home), not produced. The title track and "Row of Dominoes" were written by Butch Hancock. Bobby Keys played saxophone on the album; David Grissom played guitar. The CD version of ''Lord of the Highway'' includes "Screaming Blue Jillions" as the 11th track. Critical reception Robert Christgau lamented that "a decade of being told what a hot shit he is has Ely oversinging to signify his intensity." The ''Los Angeles Times'' wrote that "Ely's cooked up a tasty rock 'n' roll chili with country flavoring based on much the same recipe as ''Let it Bleed''/''Sticky Fingers'' Stones."

Record Collector
''Record Collector'' is a British monthly music magazine. It was founded in 1980 and distributes worldwide. History The early years The first standalone issue of ''Record Collector'' was published in March 1980, though its history stretches back further. In 1963, publisher Sean O'Mahony (alias Johnny Dean) had launched an official Beatles magazine, '' The Beatles Book''. Although it shut down in 1969, ''The Beatles Book'' reappeared in 1976 due to popular demand. Through the late-1970s, the small ads section of ''The Beatles Book'' became an increasingly popular avenue through which collectors could make contact and buy, sell, or trade Beatles records. Reflecting a burgeoning collecting scene in the 1970s, as time went by, the adverts were becoming dominated by traders who were interested in rare vinyl unassociated with the Beatles. In September 1979, ''The Beatles Book'' came with a record collecting supplement, and the response was positive enough for O'Mahony to launch ''R ...

The Encyclopedia Of Popular Music
''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' is an encyclopedia created in 1989 by Colin Larkin. It is the "modern man's" equivalent of the ''Grove Dictionary of Music'', which Larkin describes in less than flattering terms.''The Times'', ''The Knowledge'', Christmas edition, 22 December 2007- 4 January 2008.
