Counting Crows return to the studio and come out with an all-cover album. 'Sometimes it's great to play someone else's music and try to make it your own,' says Adam Duritz. 'Sometimes it's great just because it's fun.'
Counting Crows announce an album of covers to be released in April and release a free track. They're also looking for artists to submit their Counting Crows covers to be included on a free EP.
New single from the New Orleans duo with a pension for tickling the keys. I don't think I've ever heard of Cajun indie pop but this is probably as close as it gets.

Now for the third and finally aspect of a great night cruise mix. This is the part i love the most. These are the songs i basically have planned out a year in advance. The songs for the quite ride home. When you've decided it's time to head back in and call it a night. Any conversations at this point will have meaning and depth...real. Never underestimate the importance of songs that you internalize immediately (see big red marbles' "make that call" from my This playlist is better than most relationships i\'ve been in post i put up back [...]

Over the last few years, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, which boasts an impressive array of celebrities buried within its grounds, has played host to a series of unique concerts.

The psychedelic-rock act , who will play the cemetery for two nights and one morning on June 14 and 15, will seize the opportunity by performing their 1999 breakthrough album The Soft Bulletin [...]
We have been following the Choose the Cover of Rolling Stone Contest and the second round is now under way. We are interested because, after hundreds of thousands of votes were cast online, there are now eight acts left vying for the cover of Rolling Stone – as well as an Atlantic Records contract – and we have featured two of the eight on MM. Obviously, we're hoping one of these two, The Sheepdogs or Romany Rye will be successful. You can download their offerings below, and voting for round [...]
That is, as they say, the question and I've been pondering it this afternoon as I've been cleaning out my cupboards and madly searching my kitchen for minute holes in the walls because my state has been beset by mice in plague proportions this last month or so, and the little buggers are STILL finding ways to get in. So as I threw out and rearranged and wiped and scrubbed and cursed, I wondered whether or not this post was going to be my last. I've hardly listened to any new music in the last couple of months, [...]
It's no secret that we here at RFC are huge fans of Daytrotter , the internet's best music discovery tool. Nary a week goes by that we don't link to something amazing they did and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only RFC-er that has a Daytrotter sticker proudly placed on the bumper of her car. If you trolled around RFC during the summer, you might remember the massive coverage we gave to Daytrotter's Barn on the 4th of July, a concert that saw Sean Moeller and the rest of the Horseshack's champions of music [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive Courtesy Rolling Stone In the spirit of March Madness, Rolling Stone has narrowed the field from 16 to 8 in its 'Do You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star' contest.

Here we are again. A mix of the best tracks we posted in February and a few new ones too. Twenty seven cracking songs to immerse yourself in! Download O'Death – Bugs mp3 (from Outside) Echoes of their ramshackle and punkish best, but this time it is cocooned in something more subtle and thoughtful too.

I Hate Myself The Romany Rye is a country rock band from Big Bear, CA fronted by Luke MacMaster ex guitarist of Colour. I just caught this new track that I'm assuming will be on their new album that was just recently recorded at Matt Costa's studio. Pretty excited to hear more from this band, their folk / country / roots rock sound is right up my alley; the harmonies are fantastic, the guitar is right on, and what the hell ... why not an organ solo. I can't complain.
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A Courtesy of Rolling Stone After playing guitar with the Colour for a couple of years, Luke MacMaster went the folk rock route and started writing songs for a new project called the Romany Rye. Named after the 1857 George Borrow novel, the Romany Rye released their debut album, 'Highway 1, Looking Back Carefully,' in 2009 and quickly received the praise of Kings of Leon [...]

![The Romany Rye offer up new song [new mp3, SxSW 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3230479_lg.jpg)
I first wrote about The Romany Rye back in June of last year and claimed that they filled the void left by Ryan Adams' hiatus. I've since seen the band open for Delta Spirit and was won over once more. They just released a new song called "I Hate Myself (For Loving You)" and it's not a Joan Jett cover. The song was produced by Kelly Winrich (Delta Spirit) at Matt Costa's studio in Santa Ana, CA. You can meet us and them at one of their SxSW 2011 sets, listed below. [...]
