It's been a while since our last Fantastic Foursome, and I've picked a lively Hank Williams tune for this one. Although he was actually from Alabama, one of his best-known songs - "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" - was based on the music of Southern Louisiana and named for an iconic dish from the region. But even though he's given credit for writing the song, some sources say he had a little help from a contemporary, Moon Mullican, and also that the melody for it came from an old Cajun song. In any case, his 1952 record topped the country [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-13T21:57:15+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4777657/this-week-in-music-history-february-10-16/

Back Track reexamines an old cover that deserves a new spotlight. In 1983 X released More Fun in the New World, which became the fourth consecutive album to garner critical praise, and no doubt helped solidify their status as L.A. punk legends. More Fun was crisper than their previous albums, but no less raw and passionate. John Doe and Exene Cervenka still wrote their lyrics as if they were simply writing poems, and while there were more elements of pop to this album, the bands punk and rockabilly roots held a presence. Its within those roots where we can shed [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-27T07:27:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4471196/back-to-school/
