It's a shambling, half-tossed study of an artist who epitomised the shambling, half-tossed record, executed by a musician who has made his career out of shambling, half-tossed performances. Brilliant. One night we were sitting there listening and Trogg put on this CD of this guy I'd never heard before. Jerry Jeff Walker. Who some of you might have heard of... If you haven't ever heard of him the main thing that people know him for is the song "Mr Bojangles" but he's got a ton of great songs. And, I had never heard that kind of music before. I [...]
Todd Snider - Mr. Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker cover)
This compilation is not accompanied by an instalment in the country history, because the next chapter goes with the next mix. And, in some ways, it makes sense that this mix has no history (of course, the timeframe is covered by past articles in the series) because the late 1970s was a time of hiatus. Many of the stalwarts of just a few years earlier ceased having strings of hits, and those artists who had grown out of the Outlaw movement now had their day. In this mix, the likes of Guy Clark, John Anderson, Larry Jon Wilson [...]
Instead of reinventing the wheel this Christmas, let's recycle a past post or two. Today, the holidays in the Lone Star State! Christmas in Texas is pretty much like Christmas in any other place - except most of the time it's hot, everybody's playin' football, people are barbecuing and drinking beer, there's a lot of country music and blues and rock, and the stuffing has jalapenos in it. Okay, it's like no place else. MP3: "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" by the Texas Tornados [...]

You know how we love our Lone Star Beer around these parts - not really, but it somehow feels like you are not a true Texan if you don't pop the top on a Lone Star every once in a while. When I was in college, Lone Star was notoriously one of the "bitter" beers (Texans used to call it "horse piss in a can') but now it's not so bad. At least it compares respectably to your other "premium" beers ... like, ah, Busch, Keystone and Miller High Life. [...]
What a life. Although I bet they didn't have the blue mountains of Project Cold . See the rest of Nick DeWolf's photos from his 1981 summer in Aspen, Colorado here .

Some radio DJs here in Houston had an intriguing bit going a few weeks ago: they wanted listeners to nominate an official state rock song for Texas. Apparently Ohio did that recently, and its official state rock song is now "Hang On Sloopy." Go figure. Anyway, listeners of Dean and Rog (on KGLK-FM, "The Eagle") could choose from a short list of a few songs each from ZZ Top, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds … and their winner was the Top's "La Grange." Official rock song for the entire state of [...]
More than once someone has asked, "If I wanted to throw a party at my house and I wanted that Texas sound, what should I play?" Well if your house is in Buffalo, New York, then you can play the Goo Goo Dolls and and probably half the crowd would say "Yeah, that's Texas." (And hopefully the other half would correctly recognize the Goo Goos are a local band from Buffalo.) And unfortunately that's sort of the situation here in Texas. This state has many transplants who really couldn't identify a true Texas artist outside the obvious (Willie [...]
Editor's Note: Our L.A. correspondent Randy Fuller has written a post for his excellent wine blog Now and Zin on wine and rock and roll. He has graciously allowed us to reprint this post - and we've included links to some of the songs referenced in the copy. And at the end, we have added a few "bonus" songs of our own.) One of my many joys in life is music. I love gathering mp3s of songs together in a thematic group and burning them to a CD. I [...]

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass drops 2010 lineup

Consequence Of SoundEvery year in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, there is a music festival that brings together hundreds of thousands of people and is a proven success - and it's not Outside Lands. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the name, and the free three-day fest is in its 10th year. And judging by the lineup that dropped last night, this may be one of its best years. The names that stand out are frankly shocking gets for a free and ticketless festival: Joan Baez, Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes, and the Godmother of Punk herself, Patti Smith. Other [...]
