Fun day in New Orleans. I didn’t see every great band that played today, but I definitely saw whole bunch of bands worth mentioning. First up was Marc Broussard. He’s got that great, soulful white-guy voice that was super popular in the 80′s. My buddy suggested he should go on tour with Marc Cohn and [...]

Great Dylan Interview

If you haven’t seen the new interview with Bob Dylan posted on his website, you should definitely check it out. Here’s a sample: Say you wake up in a hotel room in Wichita and look out the window. A little girl is walking along the train tracks dragging a big statue of Buddha in a [...]
The Hold Steady – Atlantic City
Posted in Review, Song Review, tagged Beck, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Craig Finn, The Band, The Hold Steady, War Child on April 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I just finally heard The Hold Steady’s version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City.” It came out on the War Child Heroes charity compilation this year, featuring artists covering other major artists’ work. As you might expect, not every track is a masterpiece. If you’re not familiar, “Atlantic City” is about a down on his luck [...]

Update: So the Beacon Run is over. I’m sad. I’ll miss the excitement of the shows, night after night. I only went to two of them, but just following along on the the Allmans’ forum message board was thrilling in its own right. The Brothers definitely brought it over this three week stretch. They made [...]
Bruce Springsteen – Working on a Dream

Bruce Springsteen’s Working on a Dream is a good collection of songs, but a flawed album. Still, it’s still better than most.
It Goes Like This, the Fourth, the Fifth…

It should surprise no one that when I picked the graphic that adorns the top of this page, I did not do so at random. It’s just not my style. If you look closely, you’ll see that the notes and underlying lyrics are from the opening verse of Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece, “Hallelujah.” The oft-covered beauty [...]
Blitzen Trapper – Furr

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m rarely short on opinions. Those who know me well know that I usually form my opinions with speed, if not haste. That’s why it was all the more alarming for me that I took me nearly a week to piece together my feelings on Blitzen Trapper’s newest album, [...]
