The name Andrew Love will probably mean little to most music fans; but as a leader of the Memphis Horns (with Wayne Jackson), everybody will know at least some tunes the tenor saxophonist played on. The Memphis Horns were part of Stax's session crew, and they also recorded on Hi Records. You'll know them from tracks such as Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds, Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, Al Green's Let's Stay Together and Dusty Springfield's Son Of A Preacher Man. They are believed to have played on something like fifty #1 singles! This year they received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, [...]

The Flying Burrito Brothers, circa 1969: clockwise from top right, Chris Ethridge (d. 2012), Chris Hillman, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow (d. 2007) and Gram Parsons (d. 1973). Chris Ethridge, a founding member of the country rock pioneers The Flying Burrito Brothers, has died. He died in Mississippi of complications from pancreatic cancer; he was 65. He played bass and piano on the Burritos' The Gilded Palace of Sin debut album in 1969, co-writing a few songs with singer Gram Parsons, including "Hot Burrito No. 1." After leaving the Flying Burrito Brothers [...]
Chris Ethridge with The Flying Burrito BrothersIf there's a Country-Rock Heaven, well you know they've got a hell of a rhythm section. Not quite the lyrics we remember the Righteous Brothers singing,
Sorry I'm so late in getting this guy up today, I had to travel back to school yesterday and it got all caught up in the hullabaloo, then today was my first day back in class and what not, so that didn't leave much time for you, dear listeners. So hopefully you managed to have a depressing enough day without my help. (Also, I'm running out of songs from my initial list that I've been selecting these playlists from, so if any of you listening at home have a suggestion for future Melancholy Mondays, you can shoot me [...]

Delaney & Bonnie had a lot of friends. So there's no surprise that an early D&B album cut entered the repertoire of both The Staple Singers and The Flying Burrito Brothers before the duo commercially released their own recording. "Get Ourselves Together" was never anyone's single, but there was something about this song that transcends [...]

60+ more Dylan covers, finishing up our series in which we posted one cover of every single Bob Dylan song.
This is The Flying Burrito Brothers performing live at the Seattle Pop Festival held at Woodenville, Washington on July 27th 1969 (tracks 1-15) and additional material from a gig in Wynona, Minnesota in May 1970 (tracks 16-21). This bootleg was called "The High Lonesome Sound of The Flying Burrito Brothers" and was originally released on Gold Standard (Scorpio Records). The history of the Flying Burrito Brothers is long and checkered. The definitive line-up began with two ex-Byrds, Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, and soon added a third, Michael [...]
An exhaustive collection of Cowboy Junkies live covers spanning their entire career.
Don´t you mess with Christine, folks. Gram knows, he´s been there and back. "It´s alright to call her but I´ll bet you, the moon is full and you´re just wasting time..." A bona fide vintage country rock classic, coming at you in true cosmic American stereo, with vocals left, right, and centre. Should Ingram Cecil Connor III be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as soon as possible? Of course. He may not have invented country rock single handedly, but he sure played a very important [...]
This track is one that was love on first listen for me and the affair still goes on - I heard the Stones version first well before I discovered The Flying Burrito Brothers version which was the first to be released appearing on the bands second album Burrito Deluxe in April 1970, around a year before Sticky Fingers came out. A quartet of favourites, MOKB has a whole load more. The Flying Burrito Brothers - Wild Horses ( buy ) [...]

Nicci sang a song in her friend's one-man show tonight. I couldn't make it in time to see her, but I did make it to Aroma Coffee & Tea for a delicious crispy chicken wrap! Then we went to her friend's house for some beers and snacks and conversation. Then we came home and watch what is now officially the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It's called Hanger . It's about a foetus that gets aborted via coat hanger (yes, they show the coat hanger inserted into the vagina and the baby being pulled out) [...]
I'm looking forward to watching the Scott Pilgrim movie next week and have been preparing myself by devouring Bryan Lee O'Malley's original comic book series. There's already been a fair amount written about the official Scott Pilgrim soundtrack and director Edgar Wright has spoken to both the Guardian and Drowned in Sound on musical matters. It looks solid and there's a nice post on O'Malley's website that's well reading too. I had hoped for a higher twang quotient though. Scott Pilgrim [...]
I don't have much to talk about tonight. I'm feeling kind of out of it. And by that I mean I'm a little depressed. Not in a "I'm going to down a bottle of painkillers!" way, but in more of a, "Jesus I need to figure my shit out!" kind of way. Though I probably wouldn't mind the painkillers. Anyway, I have a busy week ahead of me. I guess it's good to clear my mind of stupid thoughts and, well, focus on sports and getting drunk: there's the Red Sox game on Tuesday night against the Angels [...]
"His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay." Jeremiah droppin' lyrical science in the King James Bible (20:9) Today we connect the dots between Alex Chilton and a few of his southern contemporaries in the late '60s and early '70s. We begin this journey on April 7-8, 1996, in ... Glasgow, Scotland??? Damn straight, hippie. On those two nights, Alex played now-legendary gigs at The 13th Note with Teenage Fanclub as [...]
