Norah Jones is back with The Fall , her fourth offering since her silken debut in 2002. As such it represents quite a departure from her previous work. The latest album sees the artiste mix and match different sounds along with a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a producer and engineer who has notched bands like Kings of Leon and Modest Mouse plus Tom Waits on his cv. Jones wrote nearly all of the songs in the past and most of the songwriting credits here still go to [...]
Over the summer, we revealed the details surrounding Norah Jones' fourth studio album The Fall. For her latest record, Jones has traded the piano for electric guitar - an instrument she's no stranger to having strapped one on for more than one of her many side projects over the past few years. Jones is backed in the studio by an interesting and eclectic batch of musicians that includes Marc Ribot & Smokey Hormel. The album drops tomorrow. In addition to her longtime collaborator [...]

For our second edition of Thursday One-Hitter, we employ the Austin-based indie-rockers Okkervil River . I've been a big fan of theirs since I found 2007's The Stage Names and subsequently discovered the band's earlier material. Last year, Okkervil River released The Stand-Ins, the follow-up and stylistic sequel to their 2007 disc. The final track on The Stage Names made a huge impact on me from the first time I heard it - and more every time since. What begins as a twisted retelling of [...]

Originally, the purpose for The Midnight Rambles at Levon Helm's Woodstock home-recording studio - otherwise referred to as The Barn - was to serve as a way for the legendary drummer of The Band to recoup money from his mounting medical bills after battling and overcoming throat cancer. Helm's iconic and unmistakable voice was down to barely a raspy whisper after radiation treatments which forced him into resting his vocal chords. While he had to rely on his capable band to provide the vocals, Helm was able to return to [...]

Filed under: New Music Norah Jones gets more interesting with every record. Two years ago she released 'Not Too Late,' a sometimes sparse and subtle collection which still sold like the proverbial hotcakes. It included the spine-tingling 'Wish I Could', a song which carried a gothic chill you wouldn't normally associate with Grammy-winning, Amazon-record-setting jazz artists. Well, that was just for starters. Autumn's closing in and Jones' latest, 'The Fall,' comes blowing in on an icy wind. For this, her fourth record, she has decided to make things [...]

This was the greatest decade of music for me as a fan. There were so many incredible albums, almost all by bands I'd never even heard of in 2000, discovered almost entirely through the same musical venue that you are reading write now -- the Internet. At the dawn of the decade, I was approaching a rock fan milestone that presumably signaled the end of my interest in cool new music (I turned 30 in 2001), while at the same time, the rock music industry (ie. whatever they played on the radio) had devolved into a hybrid of cheap rap-rock [...]
Norah has taken a new direction on the The Fall, experimenting with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partners Jesse Harris & Richard
Salut à toutes et à tous ! Désolé pour mon absence de la semaine dernière, mais j'ai eu pas mal de soucis informatiques qui m'ont empêché de vous offrir la sélection dominicale hebdomadaire.

Et on va prendre la direction de Nashville pour commencer, retrouver Brooke Waggoner. Je vous ai déjà parlé de cette chanteuse pop-folk qui musicalement se rapproche et me fait souvent penser à [...]

Puoi vivere a Londra e vedere 4 concerti a settimana, al punto che ascoltare gente che suona è un po come fare la spesa certo puoi ed è bello scegliere e a chi non piace mangiare, ma in certe circostanze diventa una sorta di ineluttabile routine. Ti ritrovi quindi a concerti che tutto sommato ci vai più per dovere che necessità, tipo mi fanno tutto questo gran parlare di Laura Marling vuoi non andarci a sto concerto? Fuori pioggia all'interno atmosfera rilassata come impone ogni concerto folk. Un sacco di gente direi, fondamentalmente troppa mentre mi guardo [...]

photo: Jessica Attie Austin based singer and guitar player Lee Barber has a quite in making in music, performing since 1972. So what took him so long to come up with his debut solo album? Let's just say things happened, various bands, a marriage, a divorce, the destruction of his hometown New Orleans by hurricane Katrina, working construction, and painting. Thief and Rescue took awhile, but it's well worth the wait. Barber has a warm voice and a knack for enlisting musical comrades to add [...]
