21 year old Lydia Loveless (who name conjures up a goth country diva) initially impressed with "Steve Earle", a fitting "tribute" that paints Earle as a stalker of sweet young things who "won't stop calling me" and "just wants to write some songs", but all she wants is for Steve "to please introduce me to your son", the ultimate backhanded compliment. And it's just the tip of the iceberg for Indestructible Machine , an album awash in that Old 97's galloping backbeat, but recasts Rhett Miller as Loretta Lynn. But mostly this album [...]

It seems hometown girl Lydia Loveless turned even more heads this year at SXSW. SPIN named her one of its " Best of SXSW ," saying she's "one of the most badass country or Americana or rootsy-fartsy songwriters working today. Her Red Eyed Fly set at the Bloodshot Records showcase was a revelation.... Loveless may not even be a household murmur right now, but she'll get hers soon enough, and the old alt-country guard better look out." Greg Kot at the Chicago Tribune [...]

2011 was a good year for stunning female voices in roots-country music, what with Zoe Muth, Rachel Brooke and Lydia Loveless dropping killer albums. What's interesting is that both Brooke and Loveless come from a background in punk rock, which, at least for Loveless, might account for her tough-as-nails delivery and ass-kicking vocals. While the [...]
"Can't Change Me" is a fantastic track- it's fast and angry and clever. 21 year old Lydia Loveless kicks ass and takes names with this song, establishing herself as a writer and performer well beyond her years. Lydia Loveless - Can't Change Me Lydia Loveless is hitting Colorado this week for a run of shows: 1/12 at the Larimer Lounge, Denver 1/13 at the Woodcellar Bar and Grill, Evergreen 1/14 at the Outlaw Snowdown, Pagosa Springs
The biggest struggle when putting together this list is how to rank the albums. What exactly is the difference between a #1 and a #2 album? Without doubt, Viva Brother's "Darling Buds of May" was the song I listened to the most in 2011 and the album it comes from is pretty damn good. But is it my favorite album as a whole? The Damnwells have consistently put out great material and I'm sure I listened to No One Listens to the Band Anymore more, front to back, than any album on the list but did I do that because [...]
Not done one of these on a Friday for a while tending to push the odds n ends I stumble across weekdays over twitter here's a few worth checking checking out or putting in your diary. The Wrinkle Neck Mules have a new album due out Feb 21st, the bands fifth release is called Apprentice to Ghosts and will be released by Lower 40 Records , I'll post some more info as soon as I get some, the Mules have a new website and a tune from [...]
This year's list of favorites is fairly sedate (even for me), with just a little ruckus here and there. Lots of morning-coffee music, which I guess says something about my 2011. But music's strength is its pliability. It can be whatever you need it to be at the moment, especially when we have instant access to virtually any song ever recorded, often for free . Judging by this list, I needed music to be a salve more than a release valve this year. I also never expected my favorite album to come from someone who held the [...]
Scott H. Biram and Lydia Loveless are touring together in early 2012. The aptly titled Bad Machine Tour follows the release of outstanding new albums in Biram's Bad Ingredients and Loveless' Indestructible Machine and brings together the two Bloodshot Records label mates. The tour begins in Dallas, TX on January 26 and circles around the Southeastern US before looping back to Houston, Texas (venue to be announced) two weeks later. Full tour dates and ticket links are here. [...]
Lydia Loveless (Photo: Ely Brothers) Exclusive Interview: Lydia Loveless December 9, 2011 by Chuck Norton Remember when you were a teenager and you liked something so much you couldn't say much more than, "Um, you know, it's just ... like, um ..."? That's me trying to write about Lydia Loveless. She's a 21 year-old spit-fire of a singer. She's basically what would have happened if Mike Ness and Patti Loveless (no relation) had a musical love-child. Originally from rural Ohio, Lydia [...]
