Last month we heard a track off Jim James, Jay Farrar, Anders Parker, and Will Johnson's new collection of music put to previously unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics in the form of the memorable Farrar-led folk-rock cut "Old. L.A." Now a second glimpse at New Multitudes , the 12-song set due later in February, is here via American Songwriter 's new sampler mix. Upon further inspection, however, it turns out the tune, "VD City," has seen the light of day before: 41 years ago, Bob Dylan recorded a version after Ramblin' Jack Elliott [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-12T02:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4054593/toadcast-213-thefootiecast/
Don't worry, this podcast really isn't about football. I might have been tempted, but in all honesty, but I can't really think of all that many good songs about football and if I am being truthful with myself I can't imagine you lot really enjoying a podcast about football all that much. More to the point, I am back playing football myself now, after something like two years out with back problems. Two years really is a long time to miss out on something you love doing, and even more so when you're past your mid-thirties and every [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-10T21:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4052573/listen-whitey-1965-2012/
Activist/musician/writer Pat Thomas has been busy the past five years compiling music, speeches and photos from the height of the Black Power movement, spending much of that time in Oakland, California, the birthplace of the Black Panther Party. The result is Thomas' forthcoming book, Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975 (out March 5 through Fantagraphics Books ), which entrenches us in one of the most politically and culturally explosive times in America, and more specifically in the writings and music of black revolutionaries like Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T13:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4048686/bloggy-goodness-big-easy-express/
Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues.

California duo Tashaki Miyaki do a rainy-day 50's pop/early 90's alterna-gaze hybrid version of Uncle Bob's 1970 song "If Not For You". The song's warm but far-off female vocal and laid back production values will definitely remind of Mazzy Star. Listen.

Nonostante il singolo "I Want to Hold Your Hand" avesse appena venduto un milione e mezzo di copie e la trasferta fosse stata anticipata da cinque milioni di poster disseminati su tutto il territorio, i Beatles erano preoccupatissimi per il loro esordio negli Stati Uniti (fu proprio McCartney a confessare: "Hanno gi i loro gruppi. Cosa possiamo dargli che non abbiano gi?"). Emozionati e imbarazzati, i quattro ragazzotti di Liverpool atterrarono al JFK di New York il 7 febbraio del 1964, ignari che avrebbero inaugurato la cosiddetta british invasion .

Dolled up like a carefree '70s singer (not unlike Taylor Swift in the current issue of Vogue ), Miley Cyrus took to the Ellen DeGeneres Show 's stage for a performance of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" . The LOL star was accompanied by one acoustic guitar, which made her vocals the focal point and she pulled off a mesmerizing performance pretty easily.

Denton's Boxcar Bandits have been playing their warped version of Americana for just over half a decade. In that time, they've played countless shows and produced two albums: 2008's Smells Like...

The Chieftains vuelven, y lo hacen con un disco que conmemora su 50 aniversario. Exacto, la banda lanz su primer trabajo en 1963, apenas un ao despus de formarse en Irlanda, y que saquen un nuevo trabajo en 2012 no es ms que la confirmacin de que cuando hay buenas ideas, las bandas pueden durar dcadas. Y para aportar algo de frescura a esas ideas se han rodeado de un puado de buenos artistas entre los que estan Bon Iver, Pistol Annies o The Decemberist , con quienes han grabado una versin de When The Ship Comes In [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-06T07:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4039441/a-list-obligatory-the-grammys-top-albums/

Faixas como Rox in the box , do lbum recente The King is Dead , e The mariner's revenge song , de Picaresque , sempre revelaram com clareza a influncia que o folk irlands tem na obra de Colin Meloy e seus Decemberists .

Repost: Published in 2009, still of interest today. To this day, people still mourn the musical talent who died in a plane crash in the early morning hours of Feb. 3, 1959. A small airplane, carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, crashed only minutes after taking off from Mason City, Iowa, in a snowstorm. The three had just played the "Winter Dance Party" (see yesterday's post ) and were heading to the next stop in [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T19:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4032620/the-13-best-jack-white-collaborations/
On the heels of Jack White's new album announcement as well as the unveiling of Blunderbuss 's first single " Love Interruption ," we thought it was time to revisit the hits - not the literal ones , unfortunately - of White's wide-reaching, strange and prolific career so far. So, here's 13 of Jack White's most memorable collaborations. Sorry Bobby D . For once, you didn't make the cut. 13.

Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan is a fantastic four disc, 76 song collection of Dylan covers honoring 50 years of Amnesty International and celebrating the work of Dylan. More than eighty artists contribute their versions of Dylan classics and lesser known songs including "All Along The Watchtower" by the Dave Matthews Band, "You're A Big Girl Now," by My Morning Jacket, Sting's cover of "Girl From The North Country," "Like A Rolling Stone," a collaboration between Jeff Beck and Seal and "Corrina Corrina" by Pete Townshend (see video below).
