Just over four years ago, atMaidstone's Ramblin' Man Fairin July 2017, we caught up with former Heaven's Basement vocalist and the nattily dressed Aaron, with his equally stylish sister Laurie, for a chat, after Aaron Buchanan And The Cult Classics had played the Rising Stage on the Saturday, which is also today's Podcast Of The Day. We had seen Aaron and Heaven's Basement supporting Aerosmith at Clapham's Calling Festival three years earlier, and in a really frank discussion, Aaron talks about life after Heaven's Basement, how ABATCC got together plus their latest album, 'The Man With Stars On His Knees' (pictured).

Their first studio album since 'Homo Erraticus' in 2014, next year British Progressive Rock luminaries Jethro Tull release their new studio album, 'The Zealot Gene', on Friday 28th January on Inside Out Music, and to give Tull fans their first taste of the new record, they have released their first single from the album, 'Shoshana Sleeping', which is today's Video Of The Day. A record that began to take shape as early as 2017, ‘The Zealot Gene’, in many ways, seeks to defy convention during a time when the business of being a touring and recording artist has never faced more uncertainties. With more than 30 albums to their credit and sales totalling more than 50 million, the band, currently consisting of Ian Anderson - flute, acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals, Joe Parrish-James - guitar, Florian Opahle - guitar (album only), Scott Hammond - drums, David Goodier - bass guitar and John O’Hara - piano, keyboards and accordion, are one of the most successful Rock bands of all-time, with a catalogue that contains classics that still resonate today.

"Keeping us on stage 1 are Nitroville, a London based 5 piece who had performed an acoustic set earlier in the day. Fronted by songstress Tola Lamont (who apparently had forgotten to pack bassist pedals), the twin Les Paul outfit also derive from a Southern Rock heritage, like the Sons Of Liberty before them. But Tola and Cookley are very different kettles of creole with Lamont having strong yet sensual vocals. It would be great to see those two do a duet. They open with 'Apophis 2029', the song named after the asteroid that is due to hit this planet and the year. It had better not hit anywhere near London as it will have a formidable Ms Lamont to deal with." Today we have Mother's third and final review of Day 3 at Hard Rock Hell XIV that concluded at Camp HRH in Great Yarmouth on Saturday night, plus check out our Tigertailz Video Of The Day.

Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new releases from The Brandy Alexanders, Highland Rose, Neverworld, Schattenmann and Last Temptation.
