A suburban boy from Detroit named Brett Farkas becomes one of the most skilled and imaginative guitar players in the Los Angeles music scene and creates a side project called Boys School . Mr. Farkas started his career playing in The King of Rock 'n' Soul, Solomon Burke's band as a fresh, wet-nosed kid. Now, he's making guitar-driven, indie-pop music alongside Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint , Aaron Embry of Elliott Smith and Edward Sharpe , Andy [...]

After the Stones released their first LP, they set out for the US in the summer in 1964. They didn't exactly conquer America. On the heels of the Beatles success here before them, they arrived with no big hit record to promote and to less fanfare than they were used to back home in the UK. The first leg of their tour was marked by poor attendance and a US Television debut in which they were ridiculed by host Dean Martin on Hollywood Palace. Still, remarkable things were happening. At the San Antonio [...]

I love Solomon Burke's early soul recordings. Recently, though, I've found myself turning more often to his later albums. Late in life, Burke's voice became huskier, sweeter. He seemed more reflective as he sang, almost as if he were pausing to savor every note. I certainly plan to do the same whenever I listen to "Hold on Tight," an album he recorded two years ago with the Dutch band De Dijk. I like most of the album's songs a lot. The title track, though, is fabulous. It's bittersweet listening to it knowing that it will [...]
The freshest shit out of Connecticut we've heard pretty much ever. Jazz, funk, pop, soul, Beatles, it's all here and it's fucking great! We are SUPER stoked to catch these guys at SXSW. Sample the jam for "Santos & Ken" below and catch, if not a little Holy Ghost, a little Teddy Pendergrass or some Solomon Burke. Pour one out.

I guess it's time to wrap it up for Christmas 2010. I thought I'd go out with a couple R&B/soul songs - one of my favorite varieties of Christmas tunes. Gatemouth Moore, backed by the Tiny Grimes Swingtet, offers a classic plea directed at santa Claus. The final lines are one of my favorite set of lyrics in any Christmas song. Moore was a blues shouter in the Forties. After a conversion in 1949, he spent the next 30 years as a preacher. The late, great Solomon Burke was also spiritually inclined. He preached [...]
