Australian rising stars, The Buckleys, continue their ascent in the UK with their gorgeous new single ‘Breathe’, today's Track Of The Day, taken from their debut album, 'Daydream', which came out at the end of last month via Snakefarm Records. A major hit in Australia, ‘Breathe’ reached #3 on the airplay chart, and the video finds the band on the ocean shores near their Byron Bay home as the sun sets. Indeed, siblings Sarah (20), Molly (17) and Lachlan (18) – deliver their own unique style of feel-good music which has seen them grow from busking on the streets of Australia’s music capital, Tamworth, to topping Oz’s Country radio charts with the album title-track, ‘Daydream’.

"Not only are the songs melodically powerful and fresh but, the lyrics haven’t just been chucked together to fill out the space; each song has its genesis in an interesting tale and the titles alone evoke a sense of American life from a different era; titles like ‘Photographs of Johnny Cash’ (a great song) and ‘Voice on the Radio’ (ditto!). The solos are short and punchy and the dual guitars are mostly employed driving the tunes with ringing chords and neat riffs.” Today read yet another one of our great album reviews, as Simon Green gives you his take here on Connor Bracken & The Mother Leeds Band CD 'Nightbird Motel', which was released a fortnight ago and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'When The World Stops Turning'.

"Solving the tesseract would be easier than conveying the feeling of this new album launch. Power Trower trio, Priest preaching.. You could go on. But what it comes down to is a soulful, melodious piece that stretches the boundaries of genre. I guess this could only be a United States of Minds." Despite the state of his net curtains in the background, that was WRC correspondent Ivan De Mello's take earlier this week on a very special private virtual album launch and listening party via zoom for 'United State Of Mind' – the new album from three legends, Robin Trower, Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown, that's due to be released tomorrow via Manhaton Records. With an intro from all three artists opening up about their thoughts and feelings about this exciting project and collaboration, Livingstone broadcasted from his studio and after the songs, the media, including Ivan, were able to interject with questions.

Master guitarist Lee Ritenour will be releasing his brand new album 'Dreamcatcher' on Friday 4th December via The Players Club, and his title track is today's Video The Day. For Ritenour, there aren't many 'firsts' left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled LA guitarist has taken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupying every position in the Rock 'n' Roll firmament. He's been an enfant terrible of 70's Fusion, a crossover star of the 80's Pop chart, an honorary exponent of Brazilian Jazz, and the fingers behind 90's supergroup, Fourplay. And yet, when he checks the rear-view mirror, the 68-year-old acknowledges he's never made a record like 'Dreamcatcher'. Weaving tapestries of instrumental guitar and conjuring eclectic moods, the 12 tracks of 'Dreamcatcher' rank amongst the most melodic and tinglingly beautiful in Ritenour's catalogue. Even without lyrics, every track tells a story.

We're still playing catch up with today's latest Track Of The Day, as you can listen to the fifth Rock Vault 107 show featuring The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Twisted Sister, Styx, Jimi Hendrix (pictured), Iron Maiden, ZZ Top, David Bowie, Black Sabbath and loads more.

Taking you back in time, they'll bring you tracks that you may know and some you may not, plus they always feature a special year.

Today's Video Of The Day is dedicated to the Dutch-American musician, and if one song could ever sum up the electric energy of Eddie and Van Halen, then it just has to be 'Jump'. RIP Eddie.
