Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0420.html>, you'll find (among other things):
RANDY HOLDEN
'Unknown' guitar god gets his due- interview by Robin Cook
"Randy Holden's Population II, released in 1970, is the work of an artist one step ahead of the curve. By the time he went into the studio to record the album, the guitarist was a veteran of such bands as The Other Half, Sons of Adam, and Blue Cheer. Population II is a sweeping, experimental work, and a crucial cornerstone in the evolution of hard rock/heavy metal. Or it would have been, if Holden hadn't become the umpteenth artist to become the victim of record industry politics. But there is a happy sequel: after decades away from music, Holden returned to playing, and Population II is being re-released this year."
PAUL MCCARTNEY/WINGS
Red Rose Speedway, Wild Life revisited by Kurt Wildermuth
"Is one of these McCartney-stirred cocktails necessarily more worthy of money and time, more valuable, more entertaining, more artistic, more anything than the other? By the same token, is McCartney's repetition of the phrase "hold me tight" less artistic than Young's repetition of "tonight's the night"? If so, why so? Just because the one's about love and the other's about death? If you can explain the differences to me, objectively, verifiably, in terms of aesthetic appreciation and not personal taste, I'm all ears."
THE ZOMBIES
Rod Argent interview by Kortney Jmaeff
"Rod reminiscences about his favorite producers, what his creative process looks like, and if he believes he made the piano a cooler solo instrument to rock and rollers."
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

See you online,
Jason
