Here's a re-cap for your pre/late ordering pleasure all in one convenient place: April 6th/ Dr. Dog - Shame, Shame buy: [ CD ][ Vinyl ][ Digital ] I only recently became a Dr. Dog fan, but since I finally gave their 2008 album Fate [...]
"There's kind of two Blazes. A lot of people saw one or the other. There was the wild one. . . . And then there was the gentle, loving, caring one. I got to know both." ~ Townes Van Zandt Over the years of doing ninebullets, I've had the occasional emailer ask me if I'd ever heard of Blaze Foley. One was even so kind as to email me a collection of Blaze's songs. These emails were the first I'd ever heard of the man, but it's been [...]
I was introduced to John Prine several years ago when I heard Mason Jennings cover "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" in San Diego. Since then I've become well acquainted with the man's music and come to love his wry and often cutting take on the American experience. So I was pretty excited to get an email about his upcoming live album, In Person & On Stage , to be released on May 25th on Oh Boy Records . Here's a taste: mp3: John Prine - Long [...]

Today Mr. Vernon (or whoever handles the tweeting on his end) posted the link to pre-order the album, Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows . The album hits the shelves on June 22 and features one hell of a tracklist/lineup: [...]
Several years back a friend and trusted mentor handed me a crappy, low-bias cassette with John Prine scrawled on it in ballpoint pen. "It's incredible," he said, before adding, "he's a mailman." In actuality, Prine had long since hung up the USPS cap, but my dear friend was spot on regarding the quality of the record. Prine's self-titled debut is a songwriting masterpiece, alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, with a sprawling cast of stoners, loners and Marines with boners sure to make Sherwood Anderson proud. On May 25th, the fine folks at [...]

John Prine is easily one of the most underrated songwriters alive today - or ever for that matter. And it seems that the folks who got together to pay tribute to Prine are in the same boat - super-talented yet overlooked in the spectrum of popular music. With the release of Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine , all this may change. The caliber of artists that contribute to this album not only shows the far-reaching appeal of John Prine, but also reveals an often obscured common thread between these artists - many of [...]

On June 22nd, Oh Boy Records will pay homage to John Prine with the release of Broken Hearts And Dirty Windows: Songs Of John Prine . The 12-track features cover versions of Prine's song by a slew of musical heavweights, including My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band, Drive-By Truckers, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, Josh Ritter, The Avett Brothers, Deer Tick, Lambchop, and Justin [...]

Happy Easter, Easter People. I'm a Jew but that did not stop me from partaking in some celebratory grillin' and chillin' tonight. I had a hot dog, a cheeseburger, and s'mores made with Peeps. I found the "golden egg" during our Easter egg hunt (curated by Ken and Kt), which contained a condom and some lube! I watched the Red Sox beat the Yankees, and I was temporarily joyous, until I realized that the Mets open their season tomorrow. Upon realizing this I suddenly felt very, very sad. Is it pathetic that I'm hoping the team loses their first ten [...]
He may be remembered for his children's books nowadays more than for his songwriting, but group of at least 15 of today's musical artists has come together to ensure that we acknowledge Shel Silverstein 's notable songwriting résumé. As reported by TwentyFourBit , a tribute album called Twistable, Turnable Man will hit shelves June 8th via Sugar Hill Records . Contributing Silverstein covers for the collection are My Morning Jacket (which opens and closes the album), Andrew Bird, Dr. Dog, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, and Lucinda Williams.
