* Johnny Cash, the man in black . + Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear [...]

To complete the summer portion of the "In Step" tour, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble played two shows on August 25 & 26 at Alpine Valley Theatre in East Troy, WI, while on tour with Eric Clapton. For travel to the next venue, the tour manager reserved four helicopters to circumvent congested highway traffic. In very dense fog, the helicopters were clear for lift-off at 12:40 A.M. Just past the lift-off zone was a 300-foot hill. Vaughan's helicopter pilot was unfamiliar with the flight pattern for exiting the area, and did not climb to sufficient altitude immediately after take-off. [...]
Rockabilly guitar-slinger, big band impresario, and all-around cool cat Brian Setzer takes a walk on the dark side with his film noir-inspired new album 'Songs From Lonely Avenue,' out October 13th on Surfdog Records. With a propulsive rhythm, an ominous minor key, wickedly good instrumental solos and the familiar character of the Devil up to his old tricks, opening track "Trouble Train" sets the mood for the whole album (with echoes of that other great song about Lucifer, Charlie Daniels' "Devil Went Down to Georgia"). Throughout the rest of [...]

Check out his page to listen to John and Bruce Springsteen cover a Everly Brothers' wonderful tune "When will I be loved". + The track list includes songs from Buck Owens, Ray Price, Rickie Nelson and other great artists: * Paradise (John Prine) * Never Ending Song of Love (Bonnie Bramett/Delaney Bramlett) * Garden Party (Rick Nelson) * [...]
+ Some adjectives critics have given at Elizabeth & The Catapult : jazzy chamber-pop breezy melodies precisely arranged but casually presented tunes Tin Pan Alley pop "Taller Children" and "Race You" are " Class A indie pop" [...]
+ Billy Bob Thornton, the actor behind so many excellent films (not including Bad Santa), plays good old rockabilly with his group The Boxmasters. Their modern mix is irresistible! + Two good records (The Boxmasters and Modbilly) are there for you to know them. * Listen to Poor house . Reno's sparkling ahead honey I thought I'd give you a call. I'm looking for tomorrow to be sunny in the midst of this snowfall. I let you and the kids down for way too long now, I'm hoping to turn our life around [...]
+ Chicago native BRYAN SCARY recorded his 2007 debut solo, before recruiting the rest of THE SHREDDING TEARS and setting up shop in Brooklyn. The five-piece group features Graham Norwood on guitar, Mike Acreman on keys, David Ostrem on bass, and Brian Bauer on drums, with Scary on vocals and keys. BSST has been called "psychedelic," "progressive," "quirky," and "strange," but they consider themselves first and foremost a pop band. 2008's FLIGHT OF THE KNIFE fused glam, psych rock, and theatrical 70s pop with [...]
+ Listen to this, today it's friday. We are not in the USA, but in Murcia. It's steaming, hot as hell, but tonight: You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up * Listen to Zac Brown Band and imagine listening to the radio while drinking cold beer and eating, well, fried chicken (or lamb or whatever you fancy).
+ Rock living legend John Fogerty played last night in San Javier (Murcia) in the first of a series of four shows in Spain, where he has never played. It was time! + Fogerty played many of his unforgettable hits, and many others were missing. I guess he could play four or five shows without repeating a hit. Nowadays, the once broken-down cowboy (in his own words) was in perfect rocking shape, happy and with a sensational band, among them Kenny Aronoff , who drummed all night with superb precision. + The audience [...]
Wonderful release of the Woodstock experience since June 30th. The spirit of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair of 1969 resonates 40 summers later, as if it were just yesterday. In 1969, five acts recorded albums for the Columbia, Epic, and RCA labels (divisions of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT ) and brought their music to Max Yasgur's farm that summer. For the first time, [...]
Ariel recently released a cover of the Psychedelic Furs' classic "Pretty in Pink." The cover takes a new twist on the '80s rock classic by adding a string section and infusing Ariel's Bowie-esque sound. Ariel covered the song not only because of his love for the Furs, but also because he thought it to be the perfect vehicle for spreading optimism and hope amongst women battling breast cancer. Ariel's close friend of twenty plus years was diagnosed in May 2005 with stage III breast cancer, and today can call herself a survivor. [...]
+ Why this man does not have about the same recognition as Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen, for instance, is a mistery to me. + His most recent work, sex and gasoline, is another gem of wonderful songs, soulful lyrics . + The album , follower of the spirit of his recent records, since The Houston Kid in 2001, Fate's right hand in 2003 and The Outsider in 2005. Get to know him before it's late.
+ They say you will find many 80's and 90's easily recognizable influences when you listen to Green River Ordinance first record in a major label, Out of My Hands. But I do not think this is a sin, isn't guys? + I think that the merit of these guys is to release a wonderful set of rock songs, perfectly fitted to today's music.

+ The name Green River Ordinance is given to a common American city ordinance prohibiting door-to-door solicitation. Under such an ordinance, it is illegal for any business to sell their items door-to-door without express permission from the household beforehand. Some versions prohibit all organizations, including non-profit charitable, political, and religious groups, from soliciting or canvassing any household that makes it clear, in writing, that it does not want such solicitations (generally with a "No Trespassing" or "No Solicitations" sign posted). The ordinance is named for the city of Green River, Wyoming [...]
* Jace Everett - Bad Things . I wanna do bad things with you. When you came in the air went out. And every shadow filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are, But before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you. I'm the kind to sit up in his room. Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue. I don't know what you've done to me, But I know this much is true: I wanna do bad things with you. When you [...]
* Now that we know that they knew, although we knew it from the beginning, again, we have to say it again: * Nerina Pallot : everybody's gone to war. I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine, He said he's waited his whole damn life for this, I knew him well when he was seventeen, Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas. And, so... Everybody's going to war, But we don't know what we're fighting for, Don't tell me it's a worthy cause, No cause could be so worthy. [...]
