A Year in Harmony: Celebrating 2023's Top Albums, the Legacy of Lee Kerslake, and a Musical Farewell

The Ben Maynard Program

As the year's final chords fade, we look back at the standout soundtracks that colored our world in 2023. From my cozy holiday celebrations to the exuberant tunes that filled our homes, this episode is a heartfelt salute to the albums and documentaries that have left an indelible mark on us. Feel the soulful stirrings as I recount the musical journey through Steve Augeri's "Seven Ways Till Sunday," which not only made my top three albums of the year but also captured my highest accolades for its deep emotional resonance.
Venture with me behind the scenes of the rock legends Uriah Heep, as we celebrate their latest triumph "Chaos and Color" and remember the indomitable spirit of the late Lee Kerslake. Through the rhythm of reminiscence, we'll explore Kerslake's contributions to Uriah Heep's legacy and his crucial role in shaping Ozzy Osbourne's early solo career. The episode is further enriched by discussing a poignant documentary that weaves together the threads of Kerslake's personal and professional life, offering a tribute to his underappreciated talents as both a powerhouse drummer and a vocalist with a touch of magic.
As the calendar turns, we bid a warm Aloha to 2023 and look forward to the new melodies and narratives that await us. Whether you're streaming on Apple Podcast, tuning in on Spotify, or engaging with us on YouTube and Instagram, your companionship on this sonic journey means the world. So join us one last time this year on the Ben Maynard program, where the music plays on and the stories never end. Thank you for being the heart of our harmonious community—we can't wait to see what next year's playlist has in store.
