Welcome Barak Obama (i.e. cuarenta y cuatro)!

November 6, 2008

I’m still a little shocked that it actually happened. Had you told me four years ago that in 2008 a black man would become president I’d probably have called you crazy. Now we can finally hold our heads up high and turn a new page. We can say goodbye to all the destructive politics of [...]

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals EP

October 24, 2007

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals have a new EP out called Follow The Lights. The material on it sounds much like Easy Tiger and if it had a couple more songs (there are seven) the EP could stand up as an album. I’m always amazed at the volume of amazing music Ryan Adams cranks out [...]

Richard Buckner

January 8, 2007

There is a Texas style troubadour that I’ve been listening to a lot lately. His name is Richard Buckner and he is phenomenal! The only thing more soulful and heartfelt than his songwriting is his voice and his guitar. He’s conveniently labeled “Alt Country” and I’m still not sure that I know what that term [...]

Trey Anastasio – Bar 17

November 10, 2006

It seems like Jam is a four letter word these days, with all the great jam band pioneers breaking up right and left. The new Trey Anastasio album Bar 17 is a great anecdote to all the bad jam karma lately. Its not quite as radio friendly as last album Shine was but is considered [...]

Willie Nelson – Songbird

October 31, 2006

Willie Nelson‘s new album Songbird was released today, what an excellent Halloween treat! The album was produced by Ryan Adams and features Ryan and his band the Cardinals as Willie’s backup band. The album is very bluesy and has some killer guitar licks to compliment Willie’s lyrical presence. The steel guitar really sounds sweet, giving [...]
