Jackson Browne
Miami New Times | Complete Issue (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009
As both the precocious bard and poet laureate of the Laurel Canyon elite, Jackson Browne created a late-'60s/early-'70s repertoire that found him standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other notables of the day. Alongside peers such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young...

DCist Interview: Dawes
DCist (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009
Dawes When I think about the band Dawes , I'm reminded of that line in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou when George Clooney's character, Ulysses Everett McGill, is explaining the sound of his band, the Soggy Bottom Boys. In an attempt to convince the old blind radio station operator that the group is worthy enough to play on air, Everett says, "Uh, sir, the Soggy Bottom Boys is been steeped in old-timey...

This Day in Rock History (Gene Clark, High-Flying Byrd Brought Low, Born)
A Boat Against the Current (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009
November 17, 1944— Gene Clark , an original member of the 1960s pioneering folk-rock group The Byrds , was born in Tipton, Mo., to an amateur-musician father who fed him a diet of country-music standards. Ironically, the future composer of “Eight Miles High” and several other original compositions for his band saw his career blown off course by fear of flying—and his life ended...

So, is Jeff Lynne the single luckiest bloke in the history of rock?
Word Magazine blogs (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
All this reminiscing around the career of the mighty ELO got me musing about something. Is Jeff Lynne basically the single luckiest/most fulfilled bloke in the entire history of rock music? Let's look at the evidence... Here's Jeff, a member of an obscure Brummy beat combo who's grown up being heavily influenced by a range of artists, each of which have blended to form a part of his musical DNA. There's...

So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star...
American Power (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
You know what it's like: There are some songs, like Jimmy Hendrix's, "Purple Haze," or The Stones', "Jumping Jack Flash," where the guitar introductions practically clinch the recordings all by themselves. That's how it used to be for me, with Patti Smith's cover of "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star." (Wikipedia's entry on The Byrds' orginal is here , with discussion...

At the base of the monument it says: This is our cry. This is our prayer. For building peace in the world. The Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima is one of the world's most haunting memorials. The bronze statue of a girl holding a paper crane atop the memorial is the likeness of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was two when the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Nine years later, she was diagnosed with leukemia....

The Ash Grove - Mick Jagger Gets the Blues
The Music Digest (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009
In his Ash Grove recording, guitarist Dave Alvin laments the loss of a favorite Los Angeles club, a venue that should be on the National Register of Historic Places. It would have to be in an urn, however, the club burned not once, but three times. Ed Pearl (an uncle of Spirit's Randy California) founded the 250-seat Ash Grove in 1958.

Soulsavers
Some Velvet Blog (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009
Soulsavers' new album Broken seems to have fallen on quiet ears since its release in August. The band's redemptive gospel-goth-rock & soul seems to have gotten more cinematic and sonically expansive since their album of almost two years ago, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land . Mark Lanegan continues to handle most of the vocals along with collaborators Ian Glover and Rich Machin....

David Wiffen - Sydenham-Canadian singer
Transpontine (Free subscription) | 11/12/2009
Thanks to Bob from Brockley for providing me with a rare opportunity to weave The Cowboy Junkies into the Transpontine Mythos, albeit via a rather indirect link with South East London. For, as Bob notes, Canadian singer-songwriter David Wiffen was actually born in Sydenham in 1942 and spent his childhood in South London and Surrey before moving across the ocean at the age of 16. In the early 1970s...

Manassas - Pieces CD Review
TheCelebrityCafe.com (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
- In 1971, Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young gathered musicians to record sessions for his third solo album. Some of the people invited included members of the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Byrds. The resulting group worked out so well that they decided to record an album together as their own band.The still unnamed band partook on a small tour. While at the train station in Manassas,...

Oh Just Wank Me Already, It's Another Early Clue to the New Direction
PowerPop (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
From 1966, please enjoy The Byrds and "2-4-2 Foxtrot (The Lear Jet Song)," the (let's be frank) concluding throwaway track from Fifth Dimension (my personal fave of their albums nonetheless). Roger McGuinn (still Jim, at that point) actually taped the sound of a Lear jet on the runaway for the track, and over the years it's apparently been a source of some irritation to him that most people...

The Reigning Sound: Love and Curses
prefixmag (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
With Love and Curses, the fourth full-length from North Carolina-via-Memphis garage-rock combo the Reigning Sound, lead singer/guitarist Greg Cartwright just may have staked his claim as one of the finest songwriters in any genre working today. Fans of the former Oblivians shouter might quibble as to whether Love and Curses stacks up next to 2004's much-loved scorcher Too Much Guitar, the album recalls...
