Joe Restivo: Where's Joe?

by Doug Collette
The title Where's Joe? carries a deliciously ironic subtext because guitarist Joe Restivo has hardly been an unobtrusive figure on the Memphis music scene.

Scott Sharrard & Jack Pearson: Brothers by Proxy

by Doug Collette
As the legacy of the Allman Brothers Band looms ever larger with the passing years, those musicians outside the nucleus of the seminal Southern rock/blues band are building upon their early contributions to the group, plus their own prior work, in so doing elevating their profiles proportionately.

Leon Russell: On a Distant Shore

by C. Michael Bailey
In the same way that the death of my Aunt Irene in the early 1990s showed me Father Time was coming for my immediate family, did I realize the same fate awaited my musical heroes when Frank Zappa was shown the door about the same time. This past year has been especially hard with the deaths ...

Gregg Allman: Southern Blood

by C. Michael Bailey
Music made at the end is always necessary listening. It may not be the best, prettiest, most, but it is obligatory if, for no other reason, as a final act of respect for the artist. Examples of compelling music made at the end of an artist's life are manifold. From classical composition, late Mozart, in particular ...
