The 35th anniversary of The Grateful Dead's "In The Dark" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.

Redbeard had this to say, "To describe the passage of time, longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter certainly was not the first to use the metaphor of a mighty endlessly flowing river, but in the Dead hymn 'Black Muddy River' which concludes the 1987 In the Dark album as well as my interview with the band's Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Phil Lesh, Hunter had the clarity and even the courage to acknowledge a lifetime in this world to be murky, where you cannot see the bottom or gauge the depth, with relentlessly perilous and unseen cross-currents, swirling eddies, and whirlpools. The paradox of course is that the same black muddy river of time has both the power to sustain life, to transport you away (for better or worse), and yet the potential to erode or even drown your life forever.

Israel born and LA based heavy rock artist OHP (Oren Halmut) has given the Spice Girls hit single "Wannabe" a metal makeover as his latest single.

OPH had this to say, "I chose 'Wannabe' because it's such an iconic song of the '90s-it's such a distinct time piece of that decade-and I really wanted to give it a modern take. I tried to stay true to the original while giving it a completely new tonality, so I kept the original key and bpm of the song, taking out all the bubble gum pop and replacing it with live instruments.

Singer-songwriter Brodie Dawson recently released her latest single "Will I Ever", and to celebrate we asked her to tell us about the song. Here is the story:
