Holy shit. If you guys aren't yet aware of Nick Curran, I need you to sit up and listen to what I'm about to lay on ya. Like so much of the newest / oldest / coolest stuff I hear these days, Nick Curran came to my attention via Little Steven's Underground Garage . As soon as "Baby You Crazy" blasted through my speakers, I was hooked by the guitars, the horns, and the boogie-woogie piano, all of it distorted and all of it sounding like [...]

Rockabilly, not unlike its kissin' cousin, the Blues, is tricky genre. The conventions of both are so well-established that they provide a boilerplate that invites any hack with working knowledge of the I-IV-V progression to take a whack. Both genres seem to spawn more pretenders than contenders, and that's at least part of the reason why the true masters like Carl Perkins and Ronnie Dawson gigged up until the bitter end, and why folks like Wanda Jackson and Robert Gordon still put asses in the seats. Now, I don't pretend to appreciate [...]

I can't help but sort of fall in love with Nick Curran , in a musical sort of way. The guy mixes classic punk sounds with the romance of Motown, and since I'm an avid fan of both, this is the perfect thing for me. Nick's an Austinite, and he has a new record coming out on February 16 titled Reform School Girl. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined with tongue cancer, so if you're in Austin, or just a fan of good tunes, you should keep him in your thoughts. [...]

I've got a virus on my computer...and a song in my heart! For no other reason than that: ABC - The Look Of Love (Part I) for my friend, the original Dr. Phil, who dug this with me in '82. Bad Co. - Young Blood 'cuz it reminds me of those summers at the lake. OK GO - White Knuckles because man cannot live on oldies alone. Old Man River - Sunshine because this is just a great [...]
