Standards: Wayfaring Stranger(s)

Jan 26, 11:59am Star Maker Machine
Standards: Wayfaring Stranger(s) Maria McKee: Wayfarin' Stranger [ purchase ] Jerry Reed: Wayfaring Stranger [ purchase ] "Wayfaring Stranger" is a standard in the folk music catalog, dating back to the 19th century. A religious ballad, it gained new meaning during the 1930s, with lyrics seemingly reflecting the plight of the displaced and homeless -- poor wayfaring strangers, "traveling through this world of woe." In the 1940s, it became a signature tune for Burl Ives, who named both his autobiography [...]

Maria McKee: Gulpin' Down Communion Wine

Dec 9, 2011, 12:42pm The Adios Lounge
Maria McKee: Gulpin' Down Communion Wine McCabe's Guitar Shop Santa Monica, CA September 23, 1988 Video goes on for :50 too long. Should end at 3:10. Consider this an addendum to my Lydia Loveless post . When I first started writing about "Jesus Was A Wino," "Drinkin' In My Sunday Dress" was a natural point of reference. Unfortunately, after roughly 27 drafts, I realized that the post worked better without it. That said, I think the comparison makes sense. Maria McKee is an obvious antecedent to Lydia. When Maria was 20-21 years old (1984-85), she was a badass [...]

Born to Sing But Not Necessarily for Stardom

Terry Ellis - Where Ever You Are
Lately, I've been dwelling on something -- in this blog, in the gym, on the street and pretty much anywhere I never venture without my iPod: great singers who either fell short of finding a sizable audience or ones whose heydays were far too brief. In my quest to give a few of them a little bit of their due, I posted a video by Shara Nelson -- whose stunning voice made Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" one of the most powerful musical statements of the '90s -- on my Facebook wall.

Great covers: Darkness On The Edge Of Town (1978)

Feb 28, 2011, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Great covers: Darkness On The Edge Of Town (1978) For many years 1978's Darkness On The Edge Of Town , in my view Bruce Springsteen's greatest album, was rather underrated. The trouble might have been that it produced no hit single, and nothing as exuberant as Born To Run on the preceding album of the same name or Hungry Hearts on 1980's The River . The album's title suggests an existential sense of alienation, a loss of hope and a ferocious anger, which is reflected in the songs, in their sound and in their words. The hope of Thunder Road on Born To Run gives [...]

Lone Justice and the Workin' Man Blues: 1983-85

Mar 13, 2010, 12:29pm The Adios Lounge
Lone Justice and the Workin' Man Blues: 1983-85 "My girlhood among the outlaws was salty, bittersweet, The things I did, I could just kick myself now." Maria McKee, 1993 If you're like me, you've often said to yourself, "Wouldn't it be nice if someone put together a 40-45 minute documentary on early Lone Justice? You know, before the band was engulfed by mediocrity and their souls cannibalized by music industry tiger sharks???" Of course you did. Well, you're in luck because I did just that. Granted, it's an audio documentary, but the upside is you can download it to your [...]

Hot Lovin': Jason's Sexy Sexytime Mix

Aug 24, 2009, 6:00am The Opening Acts
Hot Lovin': Jason's Sexy Sexytime Mix Back in April, I wrote a long piece about a girl who would put on really obnoxious music whenever we'd have sex at her place. You can read it here . Read it now - I can wait. This post began a bit of an obsession on the subject of sex and music. Mainly, I wanted to hear other people's stories about the songs that have soundtracked their sexual experiences. Last month, our snazzy contributor Ben had a discussion with his friend Christy about this topic. The highlights of this discussion were condensed into an incredibly entertaining [...]

Lost Classics! Lone Justice/Maria McKee

Apr 30, 2009, 8:24am 30 Days Out
Lost Classics! Lone Justice/Maria McKee In the 1980s, Los Angeles was the birthplace of a curious genre called cowpunk, a mashup of punk rock with roots music. Among the more famous practitioners were the Beat Farmers, the Blasters, Los Lobos, Green on Red and of course, Lone Justice. Lone Justice came together in 1982 under the guidance of guitarist Ryan Hedgecock and singer Maria McKee, an L.A. singer whose half brother was Bryan McLean from the psychedelic band Love. In their early days, Lone Justice was a hot band in the L.A. area - thanks in part to having famous champions and fans [...]

Ten Favorite Covers of Bruce Springsteen's Songs

Apr 19, 2009, 7:15pm Salty Salutes
I'm not just a Bruce Springsteen fan, I'm one of those freaks who has every official release, a bookful of bootlegs, and a few thousand dollars less in the bank account thanks to all the shows I've been to. But you can only listen to so much Boss. Then you have to listen to people that covered the Boss. So I decided to put together a list. In the end it was a little difficult, but I narrowed it down to ten favorite covers of Springsteen songs that I think everyone should hear. It also serves as [...]

"American Idol" Gets Whacked By Quentin Tarantino [Idolator's American Idolatry] This week, American Idol goes to the movies, with director Quentin Tarantino sitting in as mentor as the contestants take on the frustratingly vague theme of "songs from film." (Tarantino has actually served as a guest judge on the show in the past, and he's not exactly a pushover , which should be awesome when he deals with Lil Rounds' outsized ego.) The bloodthirsty Tarantino has always had a deft touch when it comes to putting together soundtracks for his own flicks, and part of me kind of hopes [...]

13 Songs: 1989 Reconsidered

Feb 26, 2009, 8:43pm The Adios Lounge
13 Songs: 1989 Reconsidered Star Maker Machine recently spent a week profiling songs from 1989 . I failed to contribute, despite the fact I had a song picked out, and fought for the theme. What can I say? My jackasseritis flared up. In fact, 1989 had a profound impact on me. That was the year I started DJing at KCSC , Chico State's campus radio station ( see flyer below ), and discovered so much greatness in the vast American rock 'n' roll underground. It was like seeing in color for the first time. Music didn't suck, [...]

Coward was necessary, desperate music. Someone had backed it into a corner, done bad things to it. For forty minutes it lashed out, punching the air, screaming into a pillow, mouthing unspeakables. At its best, Coward 's power came from the singular, fractured performance of singer Julie Christmas. [...]
