Michael Doughty is an inspiration and influence for many a musician. Ahead of the release of his fourth solo album Yes and Also Yes - and first biographical offering The Book of Drugs , both released on 23rd January - the revered former Soul Coughing front-man is also giving us a musical taster in the form of seasonal single Holiday (What Do You Want?) . Not only that, but it is a duet with Roseanne Cash - it has delicately jolly sleigh bells, soft heart-warming melodies and harmonies, the sentimental talk [...]

"This is an incredible, special, emotional day for the Cash family," Rosanne Cash said during an April 14 press conference in Jonesboro, Arkansas. "Dad always held this area dear to his [...]
This well-covered ballad, originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell just over fifty years ago yet so timeless it's often erroneously cited as a traditional tune, is not as simple as it seems. Where the vast majority of both traditional and modern folksongs range from simple verse to simple chorus and back again - if indeed they use chorus structure at all - here, the doubled chorus makes for a tripartite pattern, a heart-stutter that well suits the Saki tale of the story, twisted and self-sacrificing, with its well-timed reveal at the end of the second verse, and its grounding [...]

Inevitably, a love of coverage leads to a constant, ever-vigilant search for thoughtful, well-crafted reinterpretation. I spend hours each week mining full albums for the hidden cover song, and scanning MySpace and email inbox for the promotional, the one-off acoustic in-studio radio track, and the otherwise unreleased singleton, and the endless discovery is eminently worth the pursuit. But there's no question that tribute albums are the cover lover's bread and butter. I gather these things in like truffles, and hold a special place for them in my heart and in my [...]

We've all heard the skin-crawling stories about the questionable interrogation techniques at Guantanamo. We've all seen conservative pundits try to argue that waterboarding isn't torture. And it isn't news that guards have used incessant, loud American pop music as a way of breaking down detainees. But now, a coalition of musicians are speaking out to support Barack Obama's plan to close Guantanamo and oppose the use of their work as a torture device. The BBC reports that The National Campaign to Close Guantanamo includes such artists as R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Steve Earle, Roseanne Cash, Billy [...]
Phew boy! This week's new release calendar is overflowing with goodies. I'll have to admit to not having heard all of these in their entirety. And honestly, when you're hit with this many releases at the same time, it's impossible to really absorb them all, even if you do make the time to listen through each one. But this week is definitely chock full of albums I've been eagerly anticipating. The Raveonettes latest, In and Out of Control , has finally arrived. What can [...]
