Back in June, I was awakened by a text message from a very excited friend who read that Sonic Youth was going to be a part of Celebrate St. Louis' Live on The Levee in which the city provides free live entertainment. Needless to say, I thought this was merely a rumor considering Sonic Youth not exactly striking me as a family-friendly act and for free no less. Talk about too good to be true. To my surprise however, the art-rockers were actually the band scheduled to kick off Live on The Levee which is a month long [...]
I just realized that I have never posted about ANGIE STONE on this blog! That's just wrong! Tonight I'm taking it down a notch and relaxing listening to one of my favorite albums of all time MAHOGANY SOUL . In my opinion this is Angie's finest work - a glorious soulful chill out album. I don't think I'll ever tire of songs like 'I Wish I Didn't Miss You' 'Pissed Off' and 'Brotha.' Angie has one of those delightful voices that easily convey emotion [...]
Just as every good story has been told before, so too has every great song been covered.

Gig of the Week: Twisted Christmas - Barbican As Christmas hurriedly approaches, the larger venues around London have been largely booked up by comedians and tribute shows. Fortunately the smaller venues keep the variety levels high, and this week is no exception. Pick of the bunch is the second in the Barbican's series Only Connect , the first of which was the Drifting and Tilting concerts featuring the music of Scott Walker. The theme this time round is the underbelly of our traditional festive practices, with the artists performing their own [...]
we always talk about artists who we believe are inspired by prince, but less so on who originally inspired his purpleness. prince has pretty much created a recognisable sound of his own but there are elements of many artists of the 60s and 70s. we don't need an excuse to post about prince here at dirtymartini: a post of prince duets , featuring beyonce, angie stone, madonna to name a few a post of [...]

In December of 2006, after being acquired by the Concord Music Group through its purchase of its parent company Fantasy Records , the legendary southern soul label Stax was re-launched. Soon after it's return, they signed two major artists: Isaac Hayes (yes, that one who was so instrumental in Stax's early success) and Angie Stone , who released a new album in October of last year. I recently got my hands on that album, The Art Of Love & War , and I'll tell you right off, it [...]
