7 AUG 2026 · Bonnie Dobson wrote the haunting folk classic “Morning Dew” in 1961, inspired by the fear of nuclear annihilation. The song would go on to be recorded by the Grateful Dead, Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Nazareth, Devo and countless others—but along the way, singer Tim Rose claimed co-writing credit, beginning a decades-long struggle for Dobson to reclaim recognition for the song she wrote.
Author John Einarson joins Booked On Rock to discuss his new biography, Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew: The Life and Times of Bonnie Dobson and the Story of Her Iconic Song. We explore the remarkable origins of “Morning Dew,” Bonnie’s experiences in the 1960s folk scene and with a young Bob Dylan, how the Grateful Dead helped immortalize the song, the controversy surrounding Tim Rose, and the battle to restore Bonnie’s rightful credit. John also shares the wonderful story of Bonnie knocking on Robert Plant’s door and how Plant ultimately helped her get her song back.

1 AUG 2026 · Neil Young has never followed the rules—and that's exactly what made him a rock legend.
In this episode of Booked On Rock, legendary rock journalist and author Sylvie Simmons joins me to discuss the updated and revised edition of her acclaimed biography, Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass. We trace Neil's remarkable journey from driving a hearse from Canada to Los Angeles to becoming one of the most influential artists in rock history.
We explore Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, Harvest, the emotionally devastating Doom Trilogy, Rust Never Sleeps, Trans, Harvest Moon, his influence on Pearl Jam and the grunge movement, and the stories behind his most daring creative decisions. Sylvie also shares what she learned from interviewing Neil over four decades, including the brand-new Neil Young: Unfiltered interviews featured in this expanded edition.
If you're a lifelong Neil Young fan—or you're just discovering one of rock's most uncompromising artists—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

30 JUL 2026 · How did Blister in the Sun go from an underground college radio favorite to one of the most recognizable songs in America?
In this episode of Booked On Rock, author Nic Brown (33 1/3: Violent Femmes) explores the remarkable story behind the Violent Femmes' groundbreaking 1983 debut album. Discover how three Milwaukee outsiders created a sound unlike anything before it, why Blister in the Sun was never intended for the band, how The Pretenders helped launch their career, and why the album became one of alternative rock's greatest slow-burn success stories.
We also discuss Gordon Gano's songwriting, the band's unconventional instrumentation, the mystery behind the lyrics, the recording sessions that captured lightning in a bottle, and how Blister in the Sun became a fixture at sporting events, in movies, and throughout popular culture.

In this episode of Booked On Rock, author Richie Unterberger discusses his new book, Do What You Fear Most: The History of the Velvet Underground, exploring the band's remarkable journey from New York's underground art scene to becoming one of the most influential groups of all time.

23 JUL 2026 · From the Gibson Flying V and Explorer to the Jackson Randy Rhoads, Dean ML, B.C. Rich Warlock, and Ibanez RG, pointy guitars helped define the look and sound of hard rock and heavy metal. But how did these outrageous designs go from being dismissed as oddities to becoming some of the most iconic instruments in rock history?
Author and musician Sean Kelly joins Booked On Rock to discuss his new book, Battle Axes: A Hard Rockin' History of Pointy Guitars. We explore the stories behind the guitars, the builders who created them, and the legendary players—including Randy Rhoads, Michael Schenker, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Gibbons, Paul Stanley, Twisted Sister, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, and more—who turned these instruments into rock icons.
🎸 Topics include:
- The surprising origins of the pointy guitar
- Why the Flying V was initially a failure
- How Dean Guitars exploded during the MTV era
- The influence of Randy Rhoads and Grover Jackson
- Twisted Sister, B.C. Rich, Ibanez, Kramer & ESP
- Sean Kelly's pick for the greatest pointy guitar ever made

19 JUL 2026 · Few bands have been as consistently successful in Canada—or as underrated outside of it—as April Wine. From early classics like "Fast Train" to arena rock staples including "Roller," "I Like to Rock," "Just Between You and Me," and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen," the band built a remarkable catalog spanning more than three decades.
Author Tim Durling joins me to discuss his new book, On Record: The April Wine Album Review, an album-by-album journey through all 16 studio albums. We explore the band's fascinating origins, the misread letter that changed their future, Myles Goodwyn's songwriting brilliance, their breakthrough in the U.S., the albums every fan should hear, and why April Wine remains one of classic rock's most overlooked bands.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering April Wine for the first time, this is the ultimate guide to one of Canada's greatest rock bands.
🎸 Topics include:
- The story behind April Wine's formation
- Myles Goodwyn's lasting legacy
- The making of Stand Back, Harder... Faster, and The Nature of the Beast
- Why "Roller" changed everything
- April Wine's biggest hits and hidden gems
- Why the band deserves far more recognition

16 JUL 2026 · Jeff Beck wasn't just one of the greatest guitarists of all time—he was one of rock's most fearless innovators.
In this episode of Booked On Rock, I welcome Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill, authors of Blow By Blow: The Jeff Beck Story, for an in-depth conversation about the legendary guitarist's remarkable life and career. We explore Jeff's groundbreaking work with the Yardbirds, the Jeff Beck Group, 'Truth', 'Blow by Blow', his friendship with Jimmy Page, his collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Johnny Depp, the story behind "Superstition," the car accident that changed his career, and why he remained one of the most respected musicians in rock until his passing.
Along the way, Brad and Chris separate fact from fiction, share stories uncovered through years of research and interviews, and explain why Jeff Beck's relentless creativity made him one of the most influential guitarists in music history.

12 JUL 2026 · What really happened to Men at Work?
In this episode of Booked On Rock, returning guest Greg Prato discusses his new book, Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay Story, and explores the remarkable rise of one of the biggest bands of the MTV era—and the surprising reasons behind their rapid breakup.
We dive into the stories behind classics like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," "Overkill," and "Be Good Johnny," the band's early days in Melbourne, the creative partnership between Colin Hay and Greg Ham, the pressure of following 'Business as Usual', the Greg Ham copyright lawsuit, reunion possibilities, and why Men at Work's legacy continues to grow decades later.
If you've ever wondered how a band that dominated MTV and topped the charts could disappear so quickly, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.

5 JUL 2026 · Was Todd Rundgren exactly what XTC needed to create 'Skylarking'?
In this highlight from my conversation with Alfredo Marziano, author of XTC's Skylarking: A Life in a Day, we explore the legendary creative clash between Andy Partridge and Todd Rundgren. Their personalities couldn't have been more different, yet that tension helped shape one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1980s. Was the friction the secret ingredient behind XTC's masterpiece?
Listen for the story behind one of rock's most fascinating producer-artist relationships—and discover why sometimes the greatest art comes from the greatest conflict.
