Black Country Communion: Darius Rucker and Lionel Richie

Apr 24, 2012, 3:00am PopMatters

Despite country's southern roots, there remains a dearth of black artists. Darius Rucker dipped his toes in those muddy water in the past, but alas, Lionel Richie's new country album doesn't wade in much deeper. Lionel Richie's new release, Tuskegee, might come as a surprise to the casual observer, one who believes that the former Commodore, the man who once proclaimed that he couldn't slow down, who extolled the virtues of being easy, who was once tagged as the black Barry Manilow, has gone country. Of course, he hasn't really gone anywhere. It's appropriate that the album is named [...]

Lionel Richie - Tuskegee

Apr 16, 2012, 4:51pm SqueezeMyLemon

Tuskegee Believe it or not, I have been listening to mostly country music over the past year or so. So it has been a challenge to keep up with my blues blog. I really do love all kinds of music, so imagine how excited I was when I heard about the Lionel Richie Tuskegee album. It mixes too of my favorite kinds of music, R&B and Country. It reminds me when I was young and I sang these songs (if there is a sound track for my youth, these songs are on [...]

Obama’s 2012 playlist: Green onions, loads of ‘Hootie’ and no anthem

Feb 9, 2012, 4:55pm Death+Taxes Magazine

So, President Barack Obama's reelection campaign today released its official campaign playlist on Spotify and Google+. Though team Obama says the commander-in-chief played a role in picking the tracks, they admit to The Hill that the tunes are largely their own suggestions. That said, here are a few take-aways from Obama campaign's strange, somewhat discordant and intentionally romantic playlist. "I GOT YOU BABE:" Alright, the classic Sonny and Cher track didn't make the cut here, but it might as well have. With songs like Ray LaMontagne's"You Are the Best [...]

Obama releases Spotify playlist

Feb 9, 2012, 4:10pm Consequence Of Sound

President Barack Obama built his entire campaign on the premise of hope and change. Along the way, he's realigned the musical tastes associated with the leader of the free world, as evidenced by his love of hip-hop and Al Green and invitations to acts like The Killers and Yim Yames to play the White House. Fun fact: President Bush only had a  paltry 250 songs on his iPod . In an effort to further play up his musical savviness (which undoubtedly translates to more votes in the Williamsburg region), [...]

Review - Lady Antebellum / Darius Rucker / Thompson Square @ Wells Fargo Arena - Des Moines,IA 1-28-12 Review - Lady Antebellum @ Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, IA Lady Antebellum brought their "Own The Night" Tour to Des Moines and invited Hootie & the Blowfish rocker, Darius Rucker, and Country-duo, Thompson Square, as openers.

Adele And Maroon 5 Add A Pop Twist To CMT Artist Of The Year Performances

Dec 5, 2010, 3:26pm Idolator

Nashville can seem a very insular world — but Country Music Television looked outside Tennessee for a change at Friday’s Artists Of The Year celebration , where they made the festivities a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll — even a little bit gospel disco , thanks to Adele. Yes, apparently CMT shows love for their favorite country stars by replacing them, inviting musicians from other genres to try their hand at Nashville hits. Thus, the “Rolling in the Deep” singer went to town on Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”, while Maroon 5 [...]
