Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Anders Parker, Yim Yames: New Multitudes
by Doug Collette
New Multitudes arises from a distinctly unusual multi-faceted collaboration. The initial entry in the centennial celebration of Woody Guthrie's birthday began as a Gob Iron project helmed, as was Death Songs for The Living (Transmit Sound/Legacy Recordings, 2006) by Jay Farrar and Anders Parker. Given access to the Guthrie archives by Woody's daughter Nora, the duo ...
The Doors: LA Woman: 40th Anniversary Edition
by Doug Collette
The two-disc reissue of The Doors' L.A. Woman (Elektra, 1971), released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original album, documents how this band achieved what The Beatles could not with Let It Be (Apple, 1970).

But it is Quadrophenia (MCA, 1973) that has grown exponentially in importance--not only in the history of the band, but in the history of rock. Quadrophenia is the second rock ...
Scotty Alan: Wreck And The Mess
by Doug Collette
The antique sound quality of Scotty Alan's Wreck and the Mess suits the rootsy sound of this guitarist/vocalist's music, as the raggedy dynamic of the opening “Goodbye" suggests he and his accompanists are just barely keeping it together as they play. Still, their precarious interaction is one of the most joyous of musical sensations, the sound ...
Alan Leatherman: Detour Ahead
by Doug Collette
Two tracks into Alan Leatherman's Detour Ahead and the phrase “sweet soul music" comes to mind. But this isn't the rarified realm of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding with ballads. Rather, Leatherman resides--and comfortably so--in the role of classic torch singer Careful phrasing, perfect breath control and deep emotion earmark the title song, “Blame ...
