Let's face it, Tyrannosaurus Rex (later T.Rex) rarely comes up in conversation these days, and most folks think Bang A Gong (Get It On) was concocted by a half-baked Duran Duran side project. Even many self-proclaimed music fans can contribute little to a T.Rex debate than Electric Warrior and the fact that original percussionist Steve Peregrine Took (yes, you read that right) died by choking on a cherry pit. T.Rex's relative lack of notoriety is perhaps not surprising. Always more popular in the UK, the band burned white hot for a brief [...]

What about you? Here are a handful of new releases that will help you rock the Fourth no matter where you are, or how you celebrate. It borders on the criminal that Alejandro Escovedo isn't a big star outside of Texas. Here, he's the hero of the Lone Star state - and his new Street Songs [...]

"A band record" is how Austin roots-rocker Alejandro Escovedo succinctly describes his upcoming tenth solo album Street Songs of Love (June 29, Fantasy/Concord), a point driven home from the moment the guitars ring out and the drums kick in on lead track "Anchor." This is clearly an album powered by a fine-tuned band cruising comfortably on all cylinders and light years from Escovedo's earlier jagged, punk-fueled alt-country work. As a follow up to 2008's Real Animal , the new project shares some inescapable comparison to the more recent work of Bruce Springsteen in more than [...]
I have this annual funk I work myself into in which I find myself longing for the halcyon days of the "great rock-n-roll record." I'm thinking records like Damn The Torpedoes , Heaven Tonight and Especially For You . Records you can play end-to-end at a party without anyone complaining. Early in their run, The Black Crowes made a few, and bands like Drive By Truckers and The Hold Steady seem forever on the verge. And just when I've decided that the "great rock-n-roll [...]
Alt country pioneer works with Tony Visconti on new album.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive "Austin is the oasis of Texas," explains Alejandro Escovedo , one of the city's great musical heroes. Born in San Antonio, he made his name in San Francisco's pioneering punk group the Nuns (they opened for the Sex Pistols on the their last show) before moving to Austin for good back in 1980. "It's where everyone in Texas goes because every place else is pretty conservative and closed-minded." Austin may not always be quite as music crazy as [...]

1977 Mercury 1186 On 1977's Bad Reputation, Thin Lizzy were re-tooled by the legendary Tony Visconti (T-Rex, Bowie, Sparks) The tunes may not be all that exciting or deep for that matter - but their performance was arena rock tight. Granted Phil Lynot was once penned Springsteen light , on Bad Reputation his lyrical observations were served up straight, no chaser- " You got a bad reputation, That's the word out on the town, It gives a certain fascination, But it can only bring you down, " [...]

![KristeenYoung And Patrick Stump Bring The Drama [Listening Station]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1349834_lg.jpg)
KristeenYoung* has teamed up with Fall Out Boy mutton chop master Patrick Stump for the dramatic duet "That's What It Takes, Dear." Under the supervision of the super-awesome Tony Visconti, "Dear" rumbles and thunders its way over spiky pianos and low synths to its going-for-it conclusion. It's rather minimalist in arrangement, but big-sounding, which ain't easy. I hate to pigeonhole, but there's definitely a mid-period Tori Amos vibe here which is undeniable, particularly in its rhythmic construction. I don't consider this a bad thing at all, and I've got nothing against melodrama, particularly in music that might [...]
