Marshall Crenshaw: The Wild Exciting Sounds of Marshall Crenshaw: Live in the 20th & 21st Century
by Doug Collette
Live in the 20th & 21st Century is not the first collection of Marshall Crenshaw in concert. The Wild Exciting Sounds of Marshall Crenshaw follows collections titled (with equally sardonic wit) My Truck is My Home (Razor & Tie, 1994) and I've Suffered For My Art...Now It's Your Turn (King Biscuit, 2001), among others. Culled from ...
Chrissie Hynde: Standing In The Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan
by Doug Collette
The existence of Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan might well have been inevitable, if only because she and The Bard share some patently obvious personality traits, not the least of which are a staunch independence and a healthy, if wickedly wry, sense of humor. But even conceptions of the greatest clarity don't necessarily lead to so ...
Rory Gallagher: Rory Gallagher: 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set
by Doug Collette
The 50th Anniversary Edition box set of Rory Gallagher's eponymous solo debut is an elaborate expansion upon the virtues at the heart of that 1971 record. In fact, as with brother Donal's prose recount of the album's history, each component of content enclosed in the glossy slipcase--its simple but striking graphic design itself replicating that of ...
Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Capitol Session '73
by Doug Collette
Bob Marley and the Wailers The Capitol Session '73 Mercury Studios 2021 Talk about buried treasure indeed! Bob Marley and The Wailers The Capitol Session '73 would not exist in this CD/DVD package (or it's other configurations) if not for a series of deceptively fortuitous events that occurred nearly a half-century ...
Mike Clark: The Drummer Gets (And Gives) Some!
by Doug Collette
Drummer Mike Clark must've already had some estimable pedigree in the first place to be invited to join Herbie Hancock's seminal funk/fusion ensemble Headhunters back in the Seventies. But the man at the kit only built upon his existing prestige during his tenure with that group and then went on to expand upon his rep with ...
Robben Ford: Pure
by Doug Collette
It's only fitting guitarist Robben Ford assigns a closeup of his chosen instrument to the cover of Pure. His devotion to the axe is at least equal to, if not greater than, the ardor he elicits from fretboard fanatics. But then that's a deserved devotion as the man demonstrates in less than two minutes at the ...
Rodney Crowell: Triage
by Doug Collette
Even if the listener isn't aware of Rodney Crowell's personal history in recent years, the veteran songwriter and recording artist may still sound a bit defensive during his metaphysical rumination that closes Triage. In the end, however, “This Body Isn't All There Is To Who I Am" is a logical, perhaps even inevitable, culmination of the ...
Summer 2021
by Doug Collette
Blues Deluxe is a regular column comprised of pithy takes on recent blues and roots-music releases of note. It spotlights titles in those genres that might otherwise go unnoticed under the cultural radar. Mike Younger Burning The Bigtop Down Self Produced 2021 The backstory of an album is ...
Charlie Parr: Last of the Better Days Ahead
by Doug Collette
Country-blues in its most vintage form, Last of the Better Days Ahead is not appreciably different from Charlie Parr's last couple albums, Dog (Red House Records, 2017) and Charlie Parr (Red House Records, 2019). As on those records, his economical playing meshes with the deft, spare accompaniment, almost surreptitiously evoking people, places and moods with such ...
Los Lobos: Native Sons
by Doug Collette
Unusual as it may seem for a veteran band like Los Lobos to display the artistic humility of Native Sons, only a single original song appears here surrounded by a diverse round of cover material by artists based in and around their home city of Los Angeles. It's a generosity of spirit that actually recalls an ...
