Keith's Music BoxEpisode 67: Jon Scott's Rock 'n Roll Adventures with Tom PettyTom Petty and the Heartbreakers are one of the great rock bands of all time, but they might not have ever achieved the same level of success if not for record promo man Jon Scott. As an early believer in Tom’s talent, Jon put his career on the line to champion the young band in 1977. The rest is history, as Jon writes in his book, “Tom Petty and Me.” I chat with Jon about his 40-year relationship with Tom in this debut episode of season three of KMB.

Keith's Music BoxEpisode 60: 1971: Part One, Rock's Greatest YearEach year during the Rock Era delivered songs that took folks’ breath away — classics that still resonate today.

Keith's Music BoxEpisode 58: Tribute to Charlie WattsThe great Charlie Watts, who always introduced himself as “drummer for the Rolling Stones” (as if we didn’t know), passed away this week at the age of 80. The news hit hard, and not just because it reminds us of our own mortality. For many of us Charlie’s steady beat has always been there, providing the backbone for many of the songs in the soundtrack of our life. It doesn’t compute that he’s gone. We’ll celebrate Charlie’s nearly 60-year legacy with the Stones on this week’s KMB.
