  1. This is such a cool new episode of Boppin' With Beth this week that you don't want to miss! The late, great John Bonham, one of the greatest and most influential rock drummers in history, is the "focus beam" artist on this week. Hear tunes from artists he liked including The Spinners, Four Tops, Peter Green, Graham Bond Organisation, Buddy Rich and Max Roach. You'll hear all about his story as well as a tune from his band Led Zeppelin and a track John did with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones featuring David Sutch. John's little sister Deborah Bonham is the guest for Beth's Lightning Round and there's a cover of a Ron Davies written tune, originally recorded by David Bowie, from Deborah's band with her husband (Peter Bullick), Bonham-Bullick too! I've got a Jeff Daniels rocker in Rockabilly Rewind and there's songs from The Yardbirds, Eric Johanson and JD McPherson as well! Hear it all HERE: https://boppinwithbeth.blogspot.com/2022/09/john-bonham-focus-beam-on-boppin-with.html
  2. Beth Riley recently chatted with English blues-rock singer, Deborah Bonham (who is the sister of the late, great drummer of Led Zeppelin, John Bonham). They talked about her band Bonham-Bullick that she formed with her husband, Peter Bullick, their new self titled album, guest musicians on the album including John Baggott (Robert Plant, Portishead, Massive Attack), Paul Brown (The Waterboys, Ann Peebles, Bobby Rush), John Hogg (Magpie Salute, Moke), and Marco Giovino (Robert Plant, John Cale). They also talked about her late brothers, John and Michael, Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant mainly), her nephew Jason Bonham, a time she'd like to go back to, desert island albums and so much more!

We chat about her incredible upcoming new album (The Devil In Me), Elvis' influence (and even turning him down for a Graceland visit), playing Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days, desert island discs and a time period she'd like to travel back to and LOTS more!

  4. LOVE this new episode of Boppin' With Beth!! Her "focus beam" artist this week is Dave Edmunds which I'm a HUGE fan of!!! You hear some of his influences: Chuck Berry, Jerry Reed, George Harrison, Carl Perkins and a couple of the many folks he produced: The Fabulous Thunderbirds and The Everly Brothers. And of course Beth Riley tells a lot of his history and spins a couple of his tunes (and a Rockpile track) as well! I do a classic Sonny Burgess song in Rockabilly Rewind and Beth also plays The Carolyn Sills Combo, Mighty Joe Castro and the Gravamen, Chet Atkins and Steve Cropper (with Delbert McClinton)! What a great start to the weekend!! Tune in here: https://www.mixcloud.com/BethRiley1969/boppin-with-beth-01-08-21-focus-beam-on-dave-edmunds/
