John Scofield: This Meets That
by Doug Collette
The first tones you hear on This Meets That are those of John Scofield's guitar as if it's being tuned to a particular frequency. Listening to the CD it becomes clear there is, in fact, a wavelength into which all the musicians involved have locked. No doubt bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Stewart know that ...
Mule on the Water: Warren Haynes & Co. in Boston
by Doug Collette
Gov't Mule Bank of America Pavilion Boston, Massachusetts September 7, 2007 The element of surprise is crucial in gauging reaction to a Gov't Mule performance.

Trey Anastasio: Saying More With Less
by Doug Collette
The cover graphic of guitarist/singer Trey Anastasio's new album depicts a train negotiating a precarious turn on a mountain precipice with ever-so-deft precision. It's an apt metaphor for Anastasio's post-Phish career and his vocation in general. The Horseshoe Curve betrays none of the overt marketplace compromise represented by Anastasio's Shine (Columbia, 2005). And while ...
Warren Haynes & Friends: Jamming For Charity
by Doug Collette
Guitarist Warren Haynes' prolific nature as a musician is matched by his great generosity of spirit. Since joining the Allman Brothers in 1989, and forming Gov't Mule in 1994, the North Carolina native has become a warrior of the road and the studio with both bands, while also serving as a lynchpin of the Phil Lesh ...

North Mississippi Allstars: Keep On Marchin'
by Doug Collette

The Charlie Hunter Trio: Mistico

The Charlie Hunter Trio sounds ...
Muddy Waters / Johnny Winter / James Cotton: Breakin' It Up, Breakin' It Down
by Doug Collette
The partnership of guitarists/vocalists Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters in the late-seventies was a collaboration in the truest sense of the word.

Winter and Waters ...
