Crystal LiepaThe country music scene is often overlooked in place of more organic genres, but St. Paul-based musician Dave Olson really isn't classified as country. On his new album, Dave takes the Am
Back before their recent gig at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston, My Morning Jacket guitarists Jim James and Carl Broemel played a short set for winners of a radio contest at the city's Museum of Fine Arts. WFNX , the radio station who put together the performance, have just released a clip or the pair tackling Slow Slow Tune off Circuital ... Click here to view the embedded video.

Leah Nash It was only five days or so and not especially far, but this past weekend's extended jaunt to New York City was a lovely break from both my jobs - the blog and the one that pays - so while I readjust to the reality that my lifestyle is NOT meandering about Manhattan, taking pictures and eating strange and delicious meals, I'm just gonna toss up some stuff that's been accumulating over the last few days and go have a nap. And I guess we'll start with Mr Stephen Malkmus , whose [...]
The new effort by this veteran southern rock band has some instant classics but falls short of measuring up to its other classic albums.
Video: My Morning Jacket on VH1 Storytellers It took a minute for Jim James to warm up to the unusual narrative format of VH1's Storytellers last night, but after describing My Morning Jacket's early days on "Golden," he bravely proceeded to reveal heartfelt accounts of the inspiration behind a number of their notable tunes. Standouts included a gut-wrenching tribute before "Dondante," in which James broke down discussing the loss of his late friend, a Roy Orbison, Shannon Hoon, and Marvin Gaye-honoring intro to "The Way That He Sings," [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News WireImage Alright My Morning Jacket -heads wondering what one-fifth of America's greatest rock band sounds like: Within about the first few seconds of a Carl Broemel solo set, it's evident that the soft-spoken guitarist has a remarkably good voice. And there's an explanation for that. "When I was a young kid, about 7 or 8, I started singing in a church choir," Broemel tells the [...]
As we continue to do some more end of the year house cleaning around HT's home office to get it all tidied up for 2011, I figured it was about time to continue with a tradition around these parts by taking a look at my favorite six albums of the last half of the year with the Top 6 Of The Last 6... 6) Junip - Fields Prior to [...]
A few months ago I complained that few albums released this year had grabbed me; suddenly there came an avalanche of quality albums that compensated for my disappointment in sets by some favourite artists that I had looked forward to. I have not been able to get on with the Ben Folds and Nick Hornby collaboration, much as I am a Folds fan and as I like Hornby's books. Joshua Radin's album is decent enough, but it did not attract the affection I had for his debut album. Jenny Lewis' collaboration with Jonathan Rice bored me. Even the [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Rockabilly queen Wanda Jackson has found more than just a friend and supporter in Jack White -- she's also found a guitarist. That is to say, White will perform with Jackson as the guitarist in the Third Man House Band -- Jackson's special backing group for a pair of shows in New York and Los Angeles next month. White produced Jackson's forthcoming release, 'The Party Ain't Over,' and is [...]
City of Refuge is not only the title of the fine new album due January 4 from acclaimed singer/songwriter and clawhammer banjo player Abigail Washburn , it could also sum up her new musical mindset. Working wi th noted indie producer Tucker Martine (The Decemberists , Tift Merritt) and Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist and songsmith Kai Welch, Washburn explores themes of dislocation and self-exploration in her new songs -- all things that could also be said of her more style-blurring attitude. "This [...]
Tonight at Radio Radio, Carl Broemel of My Morning Jacket + Brando + Cabin! 21+ | Doors at 8pm. MP3 : Carl Broemel - Heaven Knows
Plus, listen to the White Stripes cover "Get Rhythm."
Earlier this year we got our first taste of what to expect from the upcoming Jack White produced album from the Queen Of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson - courtesy of a double A-side single. Now, we've gotten the details about the duo's full-length called The Party Ain't Over, which will hit stores on January 25 of next year. The 11-track all covers album, which will be Ms. Jackson's first set of new material in seven years, features the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer tackling songs from Bob Dylan, Jimmie Rodgers and Amy Winehouse, while [...]
For a better part of the decade, My Morning Jacket has been synonymous with the evolving rock revival emanating from Appalachia. MMJ's performances are laden with long instrumentals and, of course, Jim James' distinct vocals. So, it is somewhat surprising that when guitarist Carl Broemel unleashed his second solo album, All Birds Say , it turned out to be an organic, warm folk album, rather than the psychedelic roots rock that has defined his band. Recorded mostly in Nashville over the past four years, Broemel made the record with his friends Teddy Morgan and Richard [...]
Love You Now - Madi Diaz My Own Two Feet - Caleb Hawley 500 Miles - Josh Ritter & Dawn Landes Heaven Knows - Carl Broemel
Rare is the album that maintains an unwavering adherence to its sound without even a single song's departure. In the case of Carl Broemel, the multi-instrumentalist best known as the yin to Jim James' yang in My Morning Jacket, the debut solo album All Birds Say manages this consistency, despite the fact that the record unfolded over the course of five years. The album unravels like a relaxing country getaway that requires little more than a porch, a hammock and a breeze. It's easy [...]
Carl Broemel, the guitarist for My Morning Jacket released his debut solo album All Birds Say last week on ATO Records. The lush arrangements and varied instrumentation on this collection of modern folk speak volumes of his experiences writing and touring with My Morning Jacket and with his previous band, the highly under-appreciated Old Pike. Opening the album, the instrumental title track, "All Birds Say" features gentle, acoustic guitar that leads into the next track, "Life Leftover", a meditative M. Ward-like tune with excellent harmonies. The laid-back, slow waltz of "In The Garden" follows [...]

End of summer doldrums leaves slim pickens in the new release shelf. School's starting up, though, and the debut from the Jenny Lewis/Johnathan Rice collaboration (Jenny & Johnny) has a kind of high school rebellion/innocence to it, while Yo Gabba Gabba covers the preschool/elementary angle (and, more importantly, the parents). Other releases worth mentioning are the latest from The Weepies, My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, Radiohead's Philip Selway, Film School, Richard Thompson and an EP from Anthony and the Johnsons.
