40 min / Published

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

 Vanilla Fudge was one of the first American groups to infuse psychedelia into a heavy rock sound to create “psychedelic symphonic rock” an eclectic genre which would, among its many off shoots, eventually morph into heavy metal.

Although, at first, the band did not record original material, they were best known for their dramatic heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs which they developed into works of epic proportion.

Vanilla Fudge celebrated their 50th year Anniversary in 2017 and are still rocking the world in the current day with one of their greatest hits 'You Keep Me Hanging On' featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'

Please welcome lead vocalist, keyboardist, composer, and arranger for classic rock legends Vanilla Fudge… MARK STEIN to Interviewing the Legends …

The last time chatted was in March of 2018… Spirit of 67 Vanilla Fudge and Mark Stein Project.

QUESTION: I just had on Arthur Brown who is 80 now. He mentioned Vanilla Fudge … I told Arthur that he and Vanilla Fudge don’t seem to age!

ENTITLED

VANILLA ZEPPELIN

After recently releasing 3 remastered Led Zeppelin classics ‘Rock and Roll,' ‘Immigrant Song’ and ‘Ramble On’ in the lead up, Vanilla Fudge have today released the remastered album Vanilla Zeppelin digitally via Golden Robot Records.

This is Led Zeppelin done ‘’Fudge’’ style and fully remastered. Vanilla Fudge roll these classics out in their own way, with some amazing and soaring organ interludes and adding their soul and funked up influence giving these songs a new life and identity of their own.

Available at amazon.com

"Vanilla Fudge are the true masters of the cover song. The listener will be pleasantly surprised by the direction each track will lead them. Do not expect a cloned Zeppelin album because that’s not what makes a great cover song and that’s not what Vanilla Fudge is all about! These brand-new interpretations of Led Zeppelin classics are Ingenious & inspiring and should be revered by the true rock historian."

-Ray Shasho Music Journalist/Author/Talk Show Host
