Do you like Jim White, Tom Waits, Howe Gelb and Chuck Prophet? Yeah...me too. What is it about their collective sound that is so cool? Probably has a bit to do with the level of musical sloppiness they all share, the amount of reverb added to both the vocals and guitars, and mostly their unique view on life. Add German singer songwriter Digger Barnes to that list above. When you heard "German" do you immediately think Hasselhoff, Lederhosen, and beer gardens? Sure Germany hasn't had the greatest rock track record of late, but [...]
Barclay Martin- "Miracle" (MP3) You don't want to sit or stand next to me at a concert. I'm an emotional guy and music often brings tears to my eyes. These embarrassing incidents occurred several times in 2009. I cried when Emmanuel Ax played Chopin. Tony Bennett giving it his all made me mist up. I cried as Shane MacGowan slurred his way through "The Old Man Drag." I wept watching Kris Kristofferson struggle to sing. Lots of people, myself included, were reduced to tears by Leonard Cohen's brilliance the other night. [...]
Non content d'avoir co-signé l'un des meilleurs albums rock de 2008 (Real Animal d'Alejandro Escovedo), Chuck Prophet ajoute une nouvelle pierre à sa précieuse carrière solo avec le tonitruant ¡Let Freedom Ring!. Enregistré à Mexico dans des conditions rocambolesques (séisme + épidémie de grippe A), le nouveau bébé de l'ex-Green on Red est un savant condensé de rock'n'roll, de soul et de
Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday Night I didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it. I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight. Monday 11/9/09 [Pick of the Night] [...]

With the year drawing to a close musically speaking, Drake runs down two of the most anticipated follow-up releases of 2009. -ed. We're quickly approaching the point of no return as far as significant releases go, before the tide turns to that of gift-oriented, so we have to savor what morsels are thrown our way. This week that means the latest from The Swell Season, Devendra Banhart, Tegan & Sara, Wolfmother, Gemma Ray, Broadcast And The Focus Group, Boat , a live release from R.E.M. , a compilation from The Breakaways [...]

This week's program was hosted by Chris of I Am Collecting Beautiful Things . A wide variety of rock was played, new and old. Some of my favourite selections from this week's program was new music by Julian Casablancas and music from the re-issue of Nirvana's Bleach album. Nirvana released a re-issue of their 1989 album Bleach celebrating the albums 20th anniversary this week. The album was originally released on June 15th, [...]
Chuck Prophet heeft in de jaren '80 met het bandje Green On Red een onuitwisbare stempel gedrukt op de Amerikaanse alternatieve country rock. Het album Gas Food Lodging uit 1985 heeft zo langzamerhand de klassieke status bereikt. In de afgelopen...
Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas talks to the New York Post about his solo album, Phrazes For The Young (out November 3rd). "Some of the songs sound like they can be found on the soundtrack of a random '80s movie," says Casablancas, 31, who plays almost all of the instruments. A little over a year ago, he went into the studio fully intending to set himself apart from his bandmates. For the first time, he took song ideas they had rejected and set out to [...]

Chuck Prophet. If the name doesn't sound shivers down your spine, then you clearly haven't heard of the critically underrated musician and songwriter. Or maybe you've heard his songs, just sung by somebody else. Covered by artists like Heart, Peter Wolf and Solomon Burke—and acclaimed by Lucinda Williams and Cameron Crowe, among others—Prophet refuses to [...]
Between his top-notch previous albums and his work with other artists, Chuck Prophet had already developed a superior artistic cache before Let Freedom Ring , but this is hands down his best work. Thinking inside the box has never been Chuck Prophet's strongest point, and that's a good thing. The last few years have found Prophet hipping the traditional-leaning Kelly Willis on tunes by Adam Green and Iggy Pop, and adding some razor sharp bite to Alejandro Escovedo's latter-day career revival. Prophet's latest release, Let Freedom Ring, is a bit of a mixture of Willis' Translated from Love [...]

Sonny and the Sunsets - "Too Young To Burn" With their first full length Tomorrow is Alright , Sonny and the Sunsets have created a simply wonderful West Coast pop album, led by the whimsical songwriting of Sonny Smith. Smith's been a cult hero around the Bay for a while: Chuck Prophet formed a record label in order to release his 2006 solo album Fruitvale and John Dwyer (Thee Oh Sees), Tim Cohen and Shayde Sartin (The Fresh and Onlys) were among the contributors to the [...]
Today's Digging Deeper featured two songs, "American Man" and "Let Freedom Ring," by Chuck Prophet. A native Californian, Prophet got his start in the 80s band Green on Red, but in the decades since then, he has established himself in other circles. He's done guitar work for artists as diverse as Aimee Mann and Cake, released his own solo material, and performed on Letterman and Last Call with
