A musician, singer, songwriter and dreamer obsessed with soundscapes, deeper stuff and bright and shiny things. We're talking Queen, music in general and the human psyche.
"You should really have your own nationally syndicated radio show. You have a wonderful presence and tremendous musical insights. I can see why "Tone" is your thing." - Park Howell, The Business of Story
Ladies and gents! Every month, I’ll be venturing into new releases, jotting my first reactions, and sharing them with you. Some may be from artists I’m familiar with. Others, from artists I’ve just discovered! Maybe I’ll dig up older releases that are new to me. Whatever the music, I can’t wait to listen and share how it all hits me like a snare in the chest. Join me in my inaugural episode of this new series; featuring new releases from three of my favorite artists — and a little something extra.

Queen Deeper Dive: OF MIGHT AND MYTH / “White Queen (As It Began)”
Haunting and longing emotions dominate Brian’s “White Queen (As It Began)”; and my Deeper Dive reveals alternate lyrics and title considerations that suggest an even darker presence. The stripped demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpy9usxdaRg) emphasizes fully-realized verses, the BBC take (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMosSiT5Sh8) rocks out, and the broader 2026 mix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfnikoDcFzc) contrasts with the warmth of the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx_SVPiXnWM). This has always been one of my favorites from Brian, and I love it on a stage. But even I was surprised which version impressed me most…

Queen Deeper Dive: He’s swapped amps! / “Father to Son”
Brian’s brilliant “Father to Son” officially kicks off Queen II with sparkles and thoughtfulness, but it isn’t long until floating harmonies and edgy dirt take over. I indulged in my deep(er) explorations of this song; my favorite from the band. Some elements came to life in the 2026 mix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1fJFU2dsN0), while dynamics dominated in the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hytYgRmzTs). The Sessions take (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izAh-ZkBCnE) goes beyond entertaining banter to give us cheeky irritation! And every version highlights the boys’ innate ability to lift a rock song into something almost transcendent.
