Today's Podcast Of The Day is Pete Feenstra's recent chat with Rosalie Cunningham, including tracks from her 2022 'Two Piece Puzzle' album, a hugely original singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, who following early career success with Ipso Facto and Purson (pictured), has now established herself as a solo artist spanning Prog Rock, 70’s Rock, Psychedelia, a storyteller and poet, whilst frequently drawing on Beatles influences.

"All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable night. My first exposure (and hopefully not the last) to The Damn Truth, and a great performance from Mr. Hughes and his superb band celebrating a lot of music that was pretty much embedded in my DNA at a very early age." Eight years after Purple Zeppelin won our 2015 WRC 'Best Tribute' award, congratulations to the "voice of Rock", as Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live has won our 2023 WRC award for 'Best Tribute', which we were lucky enough to review in October at London's Electric Ballroom in Camden, so check out today's Video Of The Day of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's encore, filmed on the night.

2022 WRC award-winning Pete Feenstra has spent the last forty years or so listening to, writing about, talking about, and promoting Rock music, with a particular interest in the Blues, and Pete's Rock & Blues show is today's Podcast Of The Day, featuring Ghost Hounds, Del Bromham Blues Devils, Billy F Gibbons, Guitar Ray & The Gamblers, Otis Grand, Walter Trout with Will Wilde, Michael Bloomfield, Christone Kingfish Ingram, Buck69, The Groundhogs, Martin Barre (pictured), George Lamb, Rosalie Cunningham, Katie Henry, plus many more.

Ahead of their Stand United Tour, beginning in April, supporting Firewind and Edge Of Paradise across various USA dates, last month Immortal Guardian released a masterclass of Progressive and Power Metal, with their new album, ‘Unite And Conquer’ on Massacre Records, of which the title track is also one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from John Douglas, Death's-Head And The Space Allusion, Forever Mortal, 3Force and Motorpsycho.

Congratulations today to Jim McNeill, as his Blues Club Podcast has been voted Best Podcast in our WRC 2023 Awards, and Jim's latest podcast is indeed today's Podcast Of The Day, with another two hours of non stop Best in Blues and a bit of this and that, with More Music and Less Chat, featuring Emma Wilson (pictured), Nigel Mack, Little Bobby, Walter Wolfman Washington, Eva Carboni, Eve Gallagher, Eddie Roberts & The Lucky Strokes, Tas Cru, Brother Strut, Bob Corritore, plus many more.

"But prior to that, we were treated to a thoroughly entertaining, somewhat semi acoustic set by 3/5 of Long Road Home… no keys or drums, but bassist Derek White, guitarist Steve Summers and vocalist Mike Sebbage played 30 or so mins of mostly original Blues Rock material (Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland’s ‘Ain’t no love in the Heart of City’ - yes; that one - being the only cover) that definitely deserves a bigger listen." That was part of our take when Long Road Home supported Focus at London's Bush Hall in April (pictured), and consequently the three amigos from the Rock quintet with Prog and Blues influences, have been voted Best Unplugged in our 2023 WRC Awards, as evidenced by today's Video Of The Day of 'Whispering Rain', taken from their debut album, 'Are We Invisible?'

The first single to be taken from her forthcoming studio album, 'Fortuna', due to be released on Friday 1st March via Dixiefrog Records, yesterday, British Blues Rock guitarist and vocalist, Bex Marshall, released  '5am', of which this Bluesy ballad with a melancholy feel, is also one of today's six of the best 'Saturday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Lost Zone, Trashcan Dance, Mass Punishment, Rise To Fall and Babal.

Symphonic Metal supergroup, Exit Eden, featuring Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis), Anna Brunner (League of Distortion) and Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite), are back to mesmerise audiences with their second studio album, 'Femmes Fatales', illustrating strength and female empowerment, that's set for release next Friday 12th January via Napalm Records, with their latest masterpiece containing original compositions as well as covers of international hits, such as today's Video Of The Day of Journey's 'Separate Ways'. With stellar vocals, an exceptional concept and high-quality production, they have not only crafted another standout album that absolutely succeeds in expanding their identity even more, but have also given fans the chance to experience three Metal queens, united as one.

"A dazzling end to another triumphant Iron Maiden show. Much sweat was dripped, exhausted bodies abound, but happy faces all round." That was part of our take on the pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, back on home turf with their extravagant ‘Future Past’ gig, at London's O2 Arena in July (Video Of The Day), and five years after they last won it, Bruce and his troopers have once again carried off our 'Best Rock Performance' in our 2023 WRC Awards.
