Whitney Houston 's Greatest Hits re-enters the Top 10 at #6 and my heart hurts all over again so I can't talk about it! I am happy for Adele who just up 95% after her huge Grammy win to hold her top spot! In addition it pushed up her debut record "193 back to #9 after remaining on the chart for over 58 weeks. No one deserves it more. She is amazing! In other news Lana Del Rey plummeted to #13 with a 62% drop in sales. Yikes! [...]
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), [...]

Our review of the stellar new collection of Bob Dylan covers in support of Amnesty International.
Filed under: News , Holy Hell Getty Images/AP Photo Jason Isbell, singer and former Drive-By Truckers member, launched a Twitter feud with country singer Dierks Bentley last week. According to Billboard , Isbell says Bentley's new single 'Home' is similar to 'In A Razor Town,' a song from Isbell's 2007 solo album 'Sirens Of The Ditch.' Isbell raised the issue on Jan. 6 with a tweet repeatedly misspelling [...]
The January release holds a special place in the ebb and flow of artistry; though it runs the real risk of being forgotten by the time it comes to make our year's end lists, it also finds the market just gearing up again after a spate of holiday absence and Christmas releases. Thanks to tip-offs and promos from the usual sources, our fresh eyes have spotted three albums - each one due to drop this month, all well worth watching for - plus a few bonuses on the event horizon. As always, read and click for [...]
It all started when former Drive-By Truckers member Jason Isbell tweeted ""Dierks" [Bentley] has officially ripped off my song "In A Razor Town." Dierks is a douchebag" for Bentley's song "Home," a song written co-written Bentley, Dan Wilson and the Beaver brothers. Here's the basic sequence for you: So, there you have it. Listen to both songs after the jump and decide for yourself. [...]
I was alerted to this in the comments section of the Isbell/Bentley post and it's covered in greater detail over on El Trash so head over to their post about it for a more in depth piece about it but: DOES THIS: PLUS THIS: EQUAL THIS? More pressing. This Matt King fella. Worth checking out? If so, where should I start?
Last night, on his twitter feed Jason Isbell leveled the following charge: " "Dierks" has officially ripped off my song "In A Razor Town." Dierks is a douchebag. " The song Jason was referring to is a song called "Home". Having never heard the song I shot on over to youtube to check it out and....wow. Personally, I think it's way too close to be coincidence but I'd love to hear your opinion on the subject. Here are both songs (cause I imagine you've not heard the Dierks song either). Jason Isbell: [...]

Last week, we reported that Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was running a week-long tribute to Pink Floyd (coinciding with the reissue of Pink Floyd's catalog). The tribute featured some top rock bands performing Floyd covers on the show. Missed the performances? Watch all of them below! The Shins - 'Breathe' The Shins brought their new lineup to Fallon for this fairly straightforward cover of Dark Side Of The Moon highlight 'Breathe'. No, they don't play 'On The Run' after. [...]
You're now reading what will probably be the only time we post about Dierks Bentley here at Prefix. As you are most likely aware, there have been Pink Floyd tribute performances going on all week on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon . Last night, the program had its one slight curve ball performance when Bentley took the stage to cover Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." And while it starts out just fine and he keeps the twangs to a minimum, the pedal steel guitar sticks out for all the wrong reasons. To be fair, he deserves some credit [...]
Watch Dierks Bentley and his band do a country-fried cover of Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here.'
I'm not a country fan but in order to stay true to posting each one of these shows this week I have to put this one up as well. I will admit though that having the violin play the intro is a nice touch. Dierks Bentley - "Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd Cover) Here is how the week has unfolded so far and who's next Monday - The Shins performing "Breathe" from Dark Side Of The Moon [...]
Dierks Bentley represented the Wish You Were Here album tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of their Pink Floyd week celebrations by playing the title track. I'd say he does it justice but I'm definitely not the best judge ever of either artist's material. Check out the video for yourself...
