I've been featuring troubadors, folk singers mainly so far, who influenced my talented folk singer friends. This week it's Fred Neil, a great songwriter and baritone vocalist whose work has wound up on the screen more often than most. Here's "Everybody's Talkin'": Here's one Sid Selvidge (who has the pipes to cover Fred Neil) likes, "The Dolphins": I think Sid may like Fred's "I've Got A

Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery, poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960’s. It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993 -coming...

Karen Dalton's got one of the best voice I ever did hear. Now, this don't mean histrionics or gutteral soul howls, but, more like a voice that you can't quite pin down. Is that the blues? Is that jazz? Do...

People expect usually too much from Google even in the sectors, like biotechnology or medicine where Google is not native. For me the recent Google Health - which is basically an embryonic online medical health record system for users with a Gmail Account in the USA - seems to be rather about just catching up [...]

Disclosure: I got this CD for free Now, I'm not a Neil Diamond fan. Sure, I know his well known songs, and I even played a few in Franco's Office Bar, Edinburgh, a long long time ago. But the reason I accepted the offer of this CD to review was the involvement of producer Rick Rubin, who has done great work with Johnny Cash on his American Recordings series. And when I got the CD and saw from

Why bother? Gram Parson's legacy is a blighted one. He invented country rock as we know it, which was then stolen and plundered by the likes of The Eagles and Poco. That doesn't mean you should dismiss him. Far from...

Lately I’ve started to cherish an alternate vision of the café folk troubadour scene from the 60s. Instead of the precision-tooled harmonies, fresh-scrubbed faces, matching shirts, proper enunciation and generally annoying pearly wholesomeness of groups like the Kingston Trio, it's one of misanthropic boozers, wannabe jazzbos, and croak-voiced trouble-makers who weren't toeing any party line handed...
