Coming Attractions
Here at Musoscribe World HQ, things are even busier than usual. The backlog of content I plan to provide gets bigger and bigger every day. And while today’s post does absolutely nothing to relieve the pressure of said backlog, here ya go anyway: a quick look at what I have in the hopper for readers.
- In connection with the release of Concord/Fantasy’s 6CD Creedence box set, an in-depth interview with CCR‘s drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford
- A review (with photos) of Fitz & the Tantrums‘ packed-house show art Asheville NC’s Orange Peel
- A wide-ranging interview with former Hawkwind vocalist/sax/flute man Nik Turner, including photos from his wild show here in Asheville
- A photo essay of the Mondo Zombie Boogaloo triple-bill tour (just ended) featuring Southern Culture on the Skids, The Fleshtones, and Los Straitjackets.
And, as previously promised (but as yet undelivered)…
- A conversation with Richard Barone about The Bongos‘ lost (and now found) 1986 album Phantom Train
- Howard Kaylan (Turtles, Flo and Eddie, Mothers) discusses his autobiography Shell Shocked
- Exclusive: Paul Revere and the Raiders’ 1960s manager Roger Hart reveals how he came up with the concept/treatment we would all eventually know as The Monkees
Plus a staggering number of releases: archival, reissue, and new music. And coming in December, my usual best-of-the-year roundup of albums, DVDs and shows.
Stay tuned, and as always, thanks for reading.

About the Author
Bill Kopp
With a background in marketing and advertising, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day since 2018). The 4000-plus interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill's keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He regularly hosts lecture/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance (including monthly events Music to Your Ears and Music Movie Mondays), and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. In Spring 2023 he is co-teaching a history of Rock 'n' Roll at UNC Asheville's College for Seniors. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues -- more than 30 to date -- and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019. His second book, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave, was published in 2021 by HoZac Books. His third book, What's the Big Idea: 40 Great Concept Albums will be published in 2024. Read even more about him here.
