The Wood Brothers: The Wood Brothers: Up Above My Head

Read "The Wood Brothers: Up Above My Head" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Highlights of The Wood Brothers' live performances invariably include ingenious renditions of choice covers in addition to their own well-wrought originals. So it stands to reason they'd find it perfectly natural to put together this mini-album of outside material by the likes of Beck and Allen Toussaint, among others. Returning to the strictly two-piece ...

Jackson Browne at The Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vermont

Read "Jackson Browne at The Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vermont" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Jackson Browne Shelburne Museum Shelburne, Vermont July 14th, 2009 Jackson Browne should have opened his two-set performance with “I'm Alive," closed it with “Running On Empty," and encored with the much-requested “Redneck Friend."

The Bill Evans Trio: Turn Out the Stars: The Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980

Read "Turn Out the Stars: The Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)

Read "The Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The project is, however, the work of a master singer, guitarist and songwriter who has studiously refused to look back or ...

by Doug Collette

The Taj Mahal Trio Higher Ground South Burlington, Vermont June 18, 2009 Given the pre-show buzz in the ballroom, it is quite likely Taj Mahal had the Higher Ground crowd in the palm of his hand before he even ambled onstage on June 18th. He didn't take their loyalty for ...
