Son Volt is playing tonight at Mercy Lounge
No text
It’s been over a year since we’ve heard anything new from Wilco, but frontman Jeff Tweedy has a knack for finding other ways to keep his name in the news. The Chicago-bred singer-songwriter is currently preparing for the third Solid Sound Festival , set to touch down at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art this June, with performances by Neko Case, Yo La Tengo, Reggie Watts, and more. He's also kept busy by handling production on Low’s tenth studio LP, The Invisible Way , which hit stores earlier this week. Quality aside, it serves as the [...]

The cover of Indian Wars ' second album Songs from the North features a wooden duck on a bed of wilting parsley set amid some fine silverware. On the back cover there is a photo of a garage with a photo of Dylan on the door and a torch stake with a doll's dismembered head and foot attached to it. I know why Dylan is on the door, but what does the wooden duck mean and why is there a dismembered baby doll on a torch? Either it is some great symbolism or an inside [...]

Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/New Multitudes fame has written a memoir, Falling Cars and Junkyard Dogs due in stores this spring. Described as a collection of "beautifully crafted autobiographical vignettes", one can only hope for some pretty cool tales about the ins and outs of some bands that have been indie rock mainstays. As far as I am concerned, there aren't enough well written books about this particular walk of life. I'm looking forward to what I have a feeling will be a great read. Preorder the book for only $13 bucks at [...]

If he wasn't busy enough with his many gigs, ?uestlove is going to now have to find time to grade papers, as The Roots drummer has revealed that he will be teaming up with Universal Music Enterprises vice president Harry Weinger to teach a course titled Classic Albums, next semester at the Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. According to Billboard , the two credit course, "will focus on the concept of what it means for something to be called classic or seminal, as well as take a close look at the [...]
Chris Erickson has been a human being for over 40 years, a guitar player for over 30 years, a hired gun to NYC americana stalwarts (Tandy, Matt Keating, Florence Dore, Hem) for over 20 years, a dad for over 10 years and a solo recording artist for less than one year. So you can see how maybe he lost track of the time. The current Brooklyn resident makes up for that by jam-packing his solo debut with smoke-filled songs of heartbreak, romance, wiseass broadsides to exes, hyperbole and heartbreak, each [...]

Woody Guthrie would have been 100 today, and the folkways are imploding a bit as they celebrate the man who practically defines 21st century folk. But we've gone there already: a few weeks ago, in announcing the release of Little Seed, Elizabeth Mitchell's wonderful new tribute to his children's songs; in a comprehensive feature on the Guthrie family legacy back in 2010; in a score of other posts, as the modern inheritors of the singer-songwriter mantle have interpreted the songs of Woody Guthrie over and over again. Indeed, the Guthrie songbook is [...]

Uncle Tupelo L-R: Jay Farrar, Mike Heidorn (stooping behind drums), Jeff Tweedy (with beer and bass and all like, "Yo, where's the drink tix, bro?") If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: One man's lazy embedding of YouTube videos is another man's history of Uncle Tupelo . Consider it a documentary, minus all the boring interviews, montages, and the Ken Burns move where a voice intones dramatically as a camera slowly pans across a black and [...]
[Photos courtesy of Joe Papeo. See more of his excellent work at irocktheshot.com .] It's my understanding that the seeds for the New Multitudes project were first sown as far back as 1995 when alternative-country godfather Jay Farrar (Son Volt , Uncle Tupelo ) was tapped to collaborate with Billy Bragg on what would eventually become the ' Mermaid Avenue ' album. After Jay declined, Bragg wound up recruiting Wilco and released two discs of previously unheard lyrics by folk singer Woody Guthrie put to [...]
