Don't worry, this podcast really isn't about football. I might have been tempted, but in all honesty, but I can't really think of all that many good songs about football and if I am being truthful with myself I can't imagine you lot really enjoying a podcast about football all that much. More to the point, I am back playing football myself now, after something like two years out with back problems. Two years really is a long time to miss out on something you love doing, and even more so when you're past your mid-thirties and every [...]

Activist/musician/writer Pat Thomas has been busy the past five years compiling music, speeches and photos from the height of the Black Power movement, spending much of that time in Oakland, California, the birthplace of the Black Panther Party. The result is Thomas' forthcoming book, Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975 (out March 5 through Fantagraphics Books ), which entrenches us in one of the most politically and culturally explosive times in America, and more specifically in the writings and music of black revolutionaries like Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and [...]

• The Lumpen - Free Bobby Now

Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues. The entire [...]

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.

Listen to The Chieftains Celebrate Their 50th Anniversary with The Decemberists on a Cover of Bob Dylan's 'When The Ship Comes In'.

California duo Tashaki Miyaki do a rainy-day 50's pop/early 90's alterna-gaze hybrid version of Uncle Bob's 1970 song "If Not For You". The song's warm but far-off female vocal and laid back production values will definitely remind of Mazzy Star. Listen.

Nonostante il singolo "I Want to Hold Your Hand" avesse appena venduto un milione e mezzo di copie e la trasferta fosse stata anticipata da cinque milioni di poster disseminati su tutto il territorio, i Beatles erano preoccupatissimi per il loro esordio negli Stati Uniti (fu proprio McCartney a confessare: "Hanno già i loro gruppi. Cosa possiamo dargli che non abbiano già?"). Emozionati e imbarazzati, i quattro ragazzotti di Liverpool atterrarono al JFK di New York il 7 febbraio del 1964, ignari che avrebbero inaugurato la cosiddetta british invasion . La frase di [...]

Dolled up like a carefree '70s singer (not unlike Taylor Swift in the current issue of Vogue ), Miley Cyrus took to the Ellen DeGeneres Show 's stage for a performance of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" . The LOL star was accompanied by one acoustic guitar, which made her vocals the focal point — and she pulled off a mesmerizing performance pretty easily. "I'm so excited to be on this record, just with so many cool people — everyone [...]

Denton's Boxcar Bandits have been playing their warped version of Americana for just over half a decade. In that time, they've played countless shows and produced two albums: 2008's Smells Like... Continue reading "Rex Emerson of Boxcar Bandits Talks Bob Dylan and Playing Gator Farms" >

Watch Ziggy Marley perform a funky acoustic cover of Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind' on Late Show with David Letterman.

The Chieftains vuelven, y lo hacen con un disco que conmemora su 50 aniversario. Exacto, la banda lanzó su primer trabajo en 1963, apenas un año después de formarse en Irlanda, y que saquen un nuevo trabajo en 2012 no es más que la confirmación de que cuando hay buenas ideas, las bandas pueden durar décadas. Y para aportar algo de frescura a esas ideas se han rodeado de un puñado de buenos artistas entre los que estan Bon Iver, Pistol Annies o The Decemberist , con quienes han grabado una versión de "When The Ship Comes In" [...]

The Decemberists team up with the Chieftains for some Bob Dylan.

Faixas como Rox in the box , do álbum recente The King is Dead , e The mariner's revenge song , de Picaresque , sempre revelaram com clareza a influência que o folk irlandês tem na obra de Colin Meloy e seus Decemberists . Agora as fronteiras geográficas (incluindo todo um oceano e um continente) que separam Portland de Dublin acabam de se dissolver, com a colaboração entre os Decemberists e os lendários Chieftains , unidos por um cover de Bob Dylan gravado para o álbum comemorativo [...]

• Bob Dylan - Leopard-skin Pill-box Hat

Repost: Published in 2009, still of interest today. To this day, people still mourn the musical talent who died in a plane crash in the early morning hours of Feb. 3, 1959. A small airplane, carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, crashed only minutes after taking off from Mason City, Iowa, in a snowstorm. The three had just played the "Winter Dance Party" (see yesterday's post ) and were heading to the next stop in [...]

On the heels of Jack White's new album announcement as well as the unveiling of Blunderbuss 's first single " Love Interruption ," we thought it was time to revisit the hits - not the literal ones , unfortunately - of White's wide-reaching, strange and prolific career so far. So, here's 13 of Jack White's most memorable collaborations. Sorry Bobby D . For once, you didn't make the cut. 13. Insane Clown Posse and JEFF The Brotherhood w/ Jack White Definitely one of the higher-ranking moments in Jack White's "WTF?" register, White [...]

"Una cosa con la que he sido bendecido es con un enorme sentido de auto-confianza," bromea Tom Morello , explicando de dónde obtuvo valor para hacer una versión de " Blind Willie McTell ", original de Bob Dylan . El tema salió en una compilación llamada Chimes of Freedom , lanzada por Amnesty International USA con fines benéficos, donde también se escuchan otros covers a Dylan por artistas como Peter Seeger y Gaslight Anthem, o la versión interpretada por Ke$ha de " Don't Think Twice, It's All Right ". El track [...]

• Jackson Browne - Love Minus Zero/No Limit

It's safe to say that without the tireless efforts of Alan Lomax , the world may never have been introduced to the likes of Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or countless other musicians the folklorist and ethnomusicologist recorded on dusty back roads, barns or just about anywhere else he could set up his recording gear. Lomax spent his entire career making field recordings of folk and traditional music, both in the U.S. and abroad, amassing a collection of 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts. Some 17,000 tracks from [...]
