For All Fall Down (Nonesuch), her first studio album in six years, Shawn Colvin enlisted the help of friend and versatile musical "buddy", the acclaimed guitarist and producer Buddy Miller. The initial offering of the collaboration comes via the new project's title track, a simply-structured song that, over the course of about three and a half minutes, slowly builds from hand-clapping acoustics to a epic riffed folk/rocker thanks to the shimmering guitar lines from Miller and Bill Frisell, Brian Blade's dynamic drum work and a gospel-tinged sing-along chorus that quickly embeds itself [...]

With Christmas out of the way, and the year almost over, it's time I finally get around to compiling my Top 20 albums of the year of 2011 (in fact, there are 21 entries). Each album is represented on the mix with a song, and each entry has a link to the artist's homepage or other outlet where the album can be ordered from. Because this list is intended not only to show off my impeccable taste, but also to showcase artists, all data files in the mix have been downscaled to 128kbps. This is not really a chart, but [...]

No one since has explored the guitar's potential as Hendrix, and these discs give you the chance to enjoy the experience.
Psychedelic rock and funk come together perfectly in this soulful track.
One of my favorite things about Hip-Hop has always been stumbling upon samples and references. Whether it's hearing a now-commonly used phrase or melody on a 1980s rap record (think pretty much every line on Paid in Full ) or catching a sample that I didn't even realize was there (I definitely wasn't thinking about Shawty Lo when I put on Mandrill's "Children of the Sun"), Hip-Hop's constant nods towards the past create infinite opportunities for spontaneous discovery for a music lover. Last time I contributed a Daily Funk , I highlighted [...]
Levon Helm and friends ramble on at the Ryman Auditorium.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Cory Schwartz, Getty Images The words " Bonnaroo " and "church" don't exactly go together, a fact acknowledged by Mavis Staples during her early afternoon set on Sunday, the last day of the festival. But that was not going to damper the 72-year-old songstress' good mood. "This is the closest you are going to get to church today... Amen," shouted Staples in her smoky growl of [...]
Little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks, and a delightful tribute to a timeless album.
Woah! This has the bass-funk & then some Brothers and Sisters! Lyrically pounding, with a deep n' dark collective significance, Buddy Miles screams a Blues-type message across in perfect form, crossed over with a magical piece of Rock 'n' Roll magnitude that gifts his sound with important consequence and meaningful character. A true embodiment of [...]
Woah! This has the bass-funk & then some Brothers and Sisters! Lyrically pounding, with a deep n' dark collective significance, Buddy Miles screams a Blues-type message across in perfect form, crossed over with a magical piece of Rock 'n' Roll magnitude that gifts his sound with important consequence and meaningful character. A true embodiment of Nebraska born American rock and funky drumming talent, the former drummer for Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys, Electric Flag and the Buddy Miles Express leaves his legacy in tack and his love for California Raisins in the archives. [...]
A mixture of Zeppelin hits, covers and traditionals in one delicious bluesy, folky stew.

The Majestic Silver Strings is Buddy's reimagination of classic country songs with unrestrained guitars, atmosphere and attitude. Buddy and the three acclaimed guitarists Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot... Download your favourite album at The Mood Indicator
Adele & Lucinda Williams top the charts in this week's countdown of the highest selling albums at Nashville record stores Grimey's & The Groove.
The masterful Nashville guitarist and singer joins forces with Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and Greg Leisz, plus a bevy of great singers, to transform classic country tunes. Buddy Miller is a Nashville-based country musician who transcends "country" so brilliantly that he makes genre distinctions wholly beside the point. As backing guitarist, singer, and producer for the likes of Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Solomon Burke, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, and (his wife) Julie Miller, Buddy Miller is the world's most sympathetic accompanist and arranger, genre be damned, a singing partner both gritty and elegant, with the guts and grit to [...]
The 2011 Cayamo Cruise took place last week and seems to have been an amazing experience for all involved... just one big, week long, floating concert. I didn't make it this year, but maybe one year soon. I'd love to spend a week in February on a boat in the South Atlantic with Buddy Miller, Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Scott Miller, The Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin, Richard Thompson, etc.... People who were there this year got to see all of this... Shawn Mullins & Dar Williams singing "Beatiful Wreck" [...]
