My Rock Moment: Steve Postell’s Musical Journey — Our House, The Immediate Family, and Beyond

Some folks grow up dreaming of meeting their heroes—Steve Postell just grabbed his guitar and did it. Born and raised in New York City, Steve is a guitarist, songwriter, producer, and composer whose career has been nothing short of a musical odyssey. A classically trained guitarist, he went on to collaborate with legends like David Crosby, and after Crosby’s passing, carried that legacy forward by forming Our House: The Music of CSNY, bringing the spirit of those iconic harmonies back to the stage. He’s also a founding member of The Immediate Family, the supergroup of legendary session players who shaped the sound of countless rock classics. And with his latest solo album, Walking Through These Blues, Steve brings together an extraordinary cast of collaborators—including David Crosby, Glen Phillips, and Leland Sklar—united by his vision and songwriting. In this episode of My Rock Moment, Steve shares his New York roots, classical training, unforgettable collaborations, and the stories behind Our House, The Immediate Family, and his solo work.

VINYL RELICS - Unearthing The Nest: Jeannie Piersol’s Lost Psychedelic Gem

EPYSODE 52: "The Nest" by Jeannie Piersol. Guests: Jeannie Piersol, Alec Palao. Additional commentary by: Uncle Herff. Here we explore the story behind "The Nest" , a 2025 release showcasing the mesmerizing recordings of Jeannie Piersol, a once-overlooked voice from the late '60s Bay Area scene. While never released as a full album at the time, these tracks — produced during a brief but creatively rich period, have been carefully compiled and reissued for the first time. We're joined by Jeannie Piersol herself, along with music historian Alec Palao, for an exclusive conversation about the music’s origins, the vibrant scene that shaped it, and the process of curating "The Nest" nearly six decades later. Discover how these long-shelved recordings finally found their moment, and why it's being hailed as a hidden gem of psychedelic soul and folk-pop history. I hope you dig "The Nest" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Buy Jeannie's album, as well as other great releases from High Moon Records here: https://highmoonrecords.com Here's an article I wrote about this album for Psychedelic Scene: https://psychedelicscene.com/2025/09/12/vinyl-relics-the-nest-by-jeannie-piersol/   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify):  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/109b3seP8CQhyPEy3OiiC8?si=8ed49d9fe10d4c8e THE RISING STORM "I'm Coming Home" JEFFERSON AIRPLANE "Chauffeur Blues" THE GREAT SOCIETY “Someone To Love” *THE GREAT SOCIETY “White Rabbit" MINNIE RIPERTON "Lovin’ You" SAGITARRIUS "Gladys" JEANNIE PIERSOL "The Nest" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Joined In Space" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Gladys" YELLOW BRICK ROAD "Quivering" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Everyone Needs Love" HAIR "Shot Me Through" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Your Sweet Inner Self" Hair "Gladys" (demo) JEANNIE PIERSOL " Mr. Bright Eyes" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Heading For The Sun" JEANNIE PIERSOL "With Your Love" YELLOW BRICK ROAD "Light Sinking Down" ??MYSTERY ARTIST??

Shout It Out Loudcast: Album Review Crew Episode "Rising"

On the 68th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, SIOL Hall Of Famer, the host of Trunk Nation on SiriusXM, the Eddie Trunk Podcast, That Metal Show, the one and only Eddie Trunk to review the 1976 classic rock album from Rainbow, "Rising." Rainbow's Rising was the 2nd studio album by Rainbow, the band that guitar god Ritchie Blackmore formed when he left Deep Purple. This album saw a whole new band, with the exception of the legendary Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Jimmy Bain joined on bass, Tony Carey on keyboard and SIOL favorite Cozy Powell on drums. Rising not only continued where the debut album left off, but surpassed it by leaps and bounds. The musicianship, the lyrics and the neo-classical form of metal was unmatched. The whole band shined on this album, but especially, Dio, Blackmore and Powell. Though there are only six songs on the album, songs like Tarot Woman, Stargazer & Light In The Black which are classics which may never be topped. This was Zeus' pick. His third Rainbow album, each with a different lead singer. So grab your wizard costume and get ready to rock with Buffalo Bill at the end!

Only Three Lads: Top 5 Artists 1980-84, Part 1 - with The Big Takeover's Jack Rabid

This week, we examine the first half of the '80s to ask the question - which artists had the best run during that span? Bringing us the funny sugar in this episode is our friend Jack (where our fellow '60s music nerds at?!?). That's right, Jack Rabid, publisher/writer for The Big Takeover magazine and drummer for '80s New York hardcore band Even Worse and dreamy '90s indie band Springhouse is our Third Lad this week. And we had such a fab time that this one is a two parter! Part two will be dropping in a few days, so stay tuned... Springhouse released two albums of sparkling, melancholy guitar pop for Caroline Records in the early '90s - 1991's Land Falls and 1993's Postcards From The Attic. They were the first major label signed, nationally touring U.S. "shoegaze" band, with the 'Layers' video getting MTV airplay, and sharing stages with the likes of House of Love, The Chills, Psychedelic Furs, Belly, and the Lemonheads. In 2008, the band returned for a melodic, orchestral-pop masterpiece on Independent Project Records, From Now To OK. Originally released on limited edition CD only, it has now been reissued as a deluxe edition on vinyl, CD, and digital, and presented in a beautiful package from IPR co-owner/master designer Bruce Licher. ⁠https://springhouse.bandcamp.com⁠ The Big Takeover is a bi-annual music magazine founded by Jack Rabid and Dave Stein in May 1980, originally as a fanzine for New York punkers The Stimulators. For over 45 years, Rabid and Big T contributors have been thrilling alternative music fans with in-depth interviews, coverage of lesser known artists, and a huge review section - including Jack's always entertaining "Top 40" section. ⁠https://www.bigtakeover.com⁠.
