Mike Stern: Echoes and Other Songs
by Doug Collette
With a running time of seventy-seven minutes plus, guitarist Mike Stern's Echoes and Other Songs is effectively a double album. And like most such expansive works--including classics like Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde (Columbia, 1966) and The Beatles (aka 'The White Album')(Apple, 1968)--it would benefit from consolidation of its best elements (as would a replacement of ...
Davy Knowles and Jorma Kaukonen at The Essex Experience Summer Concert Series
by Doug Collette
As serendipitous as was the confluence of circumstances that brought Davy Knowles and Jorma Kaukonen to The Essex Experience Summer Music Series, it was all the more providential that both men gave solo performances on two late summer night dates so close to each other. For the former, this first stop in Vermont since just prior ...

While it is fair to say ...
JD Souther: You're Only Lonely
by Doug Collette
JD Souther might well be considered the unsung hero of country rock as we know it. Forget for the moment the ill-conceived and woefully mis-executed David Geffen vanity project that was Souther, Hillman and Furay: his early alliance in Longbranch Pennywhistle, with the late Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles, led to Souther's collaborations with that ...
Matt Choboter: Unburying, from Liminals, Emerging
by Doug Collette
More than just the title of this particular album, Unburying, From Liminals, Emerging, might well be a description of the process Matt Choboter has followed on his previous few records. Dating back to Anima Revisited (Songlines, 2021), then Sleep Inertia (ILK, 2022) and Postcards of Nostalgia (ILK, 2023), the Canadian pianist and composer has explored the ...
John Lee Hooker: The Best of Friends
by Doug Collette
In contrast to his often (always?) irascible peer Chester Burnett, aka Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker has long been amenable to collaborations, reciprocal and otherwise. Bonnie Raitt, Los Lobos, Charlie Musselwhite and Carlos Santana, among others, appeared on The Healer (Chameleon,1989) and all those artists also populate the credits for The Best of Friends. (Santana, the ...
