When rumors about the first ever BottleRock Napa festival began to circulate, they were impressive: early flyers listed Dave Matthews Band and Pearl Jam as headliners (neither was ever confirmed). Still, the festival had the attention of the Napa Valley and surrounding music lovers long ago. Once the final lineup had been released and tickets [...] The post BottleRock 2013 Review: Napa's Inaugural Music, Wine, and Food Festival appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Natalie Maines , best known as the vocal centerpiece of the Dixie Chicks, makes her long-awaited musical return with Mother (May 7, Columbia), her decidedly non-country solo debut produced by Ben Harper. The rootsy, no-twang album is Maines' first full-length studio recording project since the last Chicks album in '06 and is a daring, dramatic change from her country and new-acoustic past. But this is, after all, the woman who once remarked, "Growing up, when people asked, 'What kind of music do you listen to?,' I'd say, 'Anything but country'. A collection of mostly [...]
Iconic bluesman Charlie Musselwhite has been belting out the blues on his harmonica since the 1960s. He has played the blues with the best of them, but in a guest appearance on a John Lee Hooker album in 1997, he met Ben Harper . It may have taken 16 years to finally get these two together to do an album (2013’s Get Up! ), but last Thursday at the 9:30 Club , they proved that the wait was worth it. There would be no opener this evening. Billed as “An Evening [...]
Ben Harper é um artista que os portugueses acarinham praticamente desde o início da sua já longa carreira de 20 anos, carinho que vem retribuíndo, com actuações míticas e inesquecíveis tanto a norte como a sul. Em Janeiro deste ano, lançou o seu álbum mais recente Get Up (Stax/Concord), em que se alia a Charlie Musselwhite, um histórico da harmónica blues e em dez originais nos faz regressar às margens do Mississippi no seu estilo único. Ambos se têm desdobrado em concertos pelos Estados Unidos, com destaque para a sua presença no Memphis Soul Concert [...]
It's been a decade plus since I cared for the BEN HARPER , but his performance of WE CAN'T END THIS WAY , on the Letterman show last night, despite being dressed head to toe in a cowboy outfit, really makes me happy. Support comes from the CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE .
Nine studio albums and 11 EPs later, musician Joseph Arthur is finally ready to release the album he's always wanted to. On June 11th, Lonely Astronaut Records will deliver The Ballad of Boogies Christ (and album title of the year goes to...), the tale of a fictional character based loosely on Arthur's own life. Recorded onto tape over multiple years in studios across New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Brooklyn, Arthur says the album is "unlike anything I’ve ever done before. It’s a big production with horns and soul singers; a psychedelic soul record [...]

ARTIST: Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite - [Album] DATE: 03-12-13 REVIEW BY: G. Murray Thomas Get Up! is an album that had to happen eventually; the question is why did it take so long? It unites two generations of bluesmen (Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite were born twenty-five years apart) and, in the process, demonstrates the universality of the blues idiom. Harper and Musselwhite first worked together in 1997 [view more]
Still not convinced that Dixie Chick Natalie Maines was going to try something dramatically new and different on her upcoming debut solo album? The powerful version of Eddie Vedder's "Without You is all the evidence you need (not to mention her cover of Pink Floyd's "Mother" that serves as the upcoming May 7 album's title track). Co-produced with Ben Harper (and recorded at Harper's studio), Mother will also feature two Harper-penned songs, a cover of Jeff Buckley's "Lover You Should Have Come Over" and "Free Life" by frequent Chicks collaborator [...]
There are some of you that will see there is a review of Ben Harper’s newest realease on Nine Bullets and immediately move on to something else. I accept that but I pity you. You may know Ben Harper from his “hits” or from that stoner hippy in your dorm room all those years ago. You may have been a fan in your younger years (that would be me) or you might just know that you don’t like him. If you haven’t already stopped reading scroll down and start one of the songs at the end of this post before [...]
