The concert gods can be cruel, to say the least. For more than 10 years, I’ve been waiting for God Street Wine to get back together. In the meantime, I’ve seen nearly all of its members play shows of their own with the various post-GSW bands they formed. Now, as a major component of my [...]

I’ve spent my entire life staring in awe at guitarists. I’ve seen Clapton, Trucks, Haynes and Betts, Garcia, Springsteen, Malkmus, King and Guy. I’ve stood and danced and studied as my favorites picked and bent and pulled their way to new dimensions of song and sound, all on the surface of these six-strings. Well, watching [...]
The Hold Steady – Atlantic City

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 [...]

I’ve got that tune, stuck in my head, driving my crazy. I lie awake in my bed. The telephone rings. I ain’t answered in days. No one can reach me, when the melody plays. It’s funny how it doesn’t take the best lyrics, the best guitars, the best singing or the best anything else to [...]

OK, so I’ve been sitting on writing this damn post for more than a week now. Here’s the problem, I didn’t know what to say. I listened and listened and listened to U2′s latest disc waiting for it to hit me… and it never happened! I wanted my karaoke song. I wanted my anthem. I [...]

I found this item after reading a bit of hype press in Rolling Stone. I’m glad I did, but after a half-dozen listens or so, I’m still a little trying to figure out whether it is a good album or a good collection of songs. The songs on Oh My God, Charlie Darwin evoke the [...]
