Brooklyn, NY-based indie rocker Mathew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, has announced the release of that group's new album. This time there's a twist. The album To Willie will be a collection of 11 covers of Willie Nelson songs. In selection Houck has purposely steered clear of the hits and dug for lesser known material. I'm a sucker for cover albums, especially ones with a theme, so this should be good. To Willie is set for a February 3rd release. Phosphorescen... MORE

While the first annual Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival seemed to offer very little in the form of traditional Bluegrass or Blues music, from an enjoyment standpoint the festival was a success and headliners, the Avett Brothers , were the main reason behind that success. Just placing the Avett Brothers in the headlining spot signaled that this was not going to be any sort of traditional bluegrass or blues festival but in the end this worked in the festival's favor....

It is turning into a pretty great year for Hank Williams . First, a major effort is being put forth by Time-Life to release performances from a 1951 radio show that Williams hosted, showing off some of his greatest songs and a number of other songs never before heard performed by the singer.
Now, the Reinstate Hank campaign has been started (www.reinstatehank.org ) to attempt to right the expelling of Williams from the Grand Ole Opry in 1952. Williams became a member... MORE

Elliott BROOD is not a singer/songwriter. It’s a band. The band has no one with Elliott or Brood in their names. They play with banjos and ukuleles, but they aren’t country and don’t dare call them bluegrass. They are from Canada and they are rock and roll. Mountain Meadows grabs your attention immediately with "Fingers and [...]

A couple of years ago I bought A Dr. Demento holiday music collection and "Hanukkah Homeboy" stepped out of the laptop's speakers. I'll leave that Rap performance to someone else, and upload something completely different. Here's a dance number for Hanukkah observers, in Flecktone style.
For the Christmas Traditionalist, here's the Flecktone take on J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio, #41, "Ich will nur zu Ehren leben."
Here's something that will either get you out of bed on Monday morning or send you diving under the covers in fear that Islamists are at the door. Not to worry, it's just Béla Fleck and his merry band of musicians adding another language to holiday season music. A music reviewer mentioned that a little Tuvan throat singing goes a long way, but this one could be on the next Dr. Demento holiday music collection. "Tchungalash," y'all!

It was like a class reunion at the Wiltern last night for the Lucinda Williams show. Musicians - Rich McCulley, Amilia Spicer. Writers - Chris Morris. and writers who play music - Shaun Mason. Lots of enthusiam to see the final show of Luncinda's fall tour in support of the new "Little Honey" record. In prepping for the show I glanced back through some reviews from September and October and the results were mixed. More than a few dates had to be downsized to smaller ve... MORE
Lyle has his ups and downs, but in my opinion, his ups are classic and they just rope me in. This tune has a simple beauty in it's lyric and melody and hence the title. You don't like this, you have no heart. It's a simple song for simple feeling
You see the moon and watch it rise
Across the continent the night bird sings
And somewhere someone hears its cry
So disillusioned
Keep your head down
If you do they'll never know
You'll have no answers to their questions
