Jackson Browne: Running On Empty: 2019 Remaster
by Doug Collette
There is no other album quite like Running On Empty in Jackson Browne's discography. But then, there may be no other album comparable in contemporary rock: it is an absolutely unflinching portrait of an artist looking for a connection to the muse and only fleetingly establishing one. In a sense, this 1977 album resides at the ...
Santana Live At US Festival
by Doug Collette
Santana Live At US Festival Shout! Factory 2019 The Carlos Santana appearing at the US Festival in 1982 is not the same hungry street urchin transformed by the music he made early in his career with the band under his name. Since the galvanizing breakthrough at Woodstock in 1969, the group ...
The Allman Brothers Band: Fillmore West '71
by Doug Collette
Like virtually all the previously-releases from The Allman Brothers Band Recording Co., this latest archive release, Fillmore West '71, is a mixed blessing. The four-CD set might better have been graced with the stylized graphics that adorn such titles as Nassau Coliseum: Uniondale, NY 5/1/73 (The Allman Brothers Band Recording Co., 2005) including the caveat about ...
Blue Note Records: Beyond The Notes
by Doug Collette
Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes Eagle Vision2019 Seventy-one minutes hardly seems long enough to tell the story of a record label so profoundly influential as Blue Note. Yet even a marathon film of multiple parts could not capture the essence of this phenomenon any more completely and certainly no more succinctly ...

Bruce Katz: Solo Ride
by Doug Collette
On Solo Ride, Bruce Katz posits himself as a stylist par excellence, curator of a perennial genre that deserves preservation in the musical landscape of America. And while it's something of a surprise to see him release a solo album, given the self-effacing demeanor he's displayed in his otherwise broad and varied collaborative experience (with Gregg ...
Rob Laufer: The Floating World
by Doug Collette
Rob Laufer's first album in nine years, The Floating World, will no doubt compel repeated listenings after the first one, if only so the curious music lover can better distinguish how much he or she might have missed on that initial hearing. While the LP's main touchstones are a bit obvious, the process of distinguishing the ...
Seth Yacovone: Old Canada
by Doug Collette
Anyone who's seen guitarist/composer Seth Yacovone perform his weekly solo acoustic gigs at the fabled Burlington venue Nectar's knows full well of his admiration of the work of Bob Dylan and Neil Young. And the most avid followers of his peripatetic activities have also most likely attended his regular tributes to the Canadian rock icon's work ...
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Live At Woodstock
by Doug Collette
Creedence Clearwater Revival's appearance at the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, shortly after midnight on August 16th 1969, wasn't so much a breakthrough as a consolidation of their burgeoning success to that point. The San Francisco Bay Area quartet had already released three albums, the most recent issued earlier that very month in the form of ...
Dickey Betts: Ramblin' Man: Live at the St. George Theatre
by Doug Collette
Dickey Betts does not add to his reputation with Ramblin' Man: The Dickey Betts Band Live at the St George Theater. To be fair, he doesn't significantly sully reputation as an icon of Southern rock either, but that's just testament to how firmly established is his position in history as co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band, ...
