Erik Deutsch: Demonio Teclado
by Florence Wetzel
The title of Erik Deutsch's Demonio Teclado means “Keyboard Demon"--and indeed he is. Raised in Washington, DC and Nashville, Deutsch spent ten years in Colorado honing his craft, receiving a degree from the University of Colorado in piano performance, plus studying and playing with pianist Art Lande and gigging with trumpeter Ron Miles. In the mid-2000s ...

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 ...
Neil Young - Live At Massey Hall 1971 (2007)
There's just something about Neil Young. His present-day persona along with his musical past form a sort of rolling time capsule in my head. Very strange, much like the man himself. This particular album, recorded 1971 at Toronto's Massey Hall, showcases Young and his songwriting at an early career peak. Played on acoustic guitar and sometimes ...
The Jeff Gauthier Goatette: Open Source
by John Kelman
When two-thirds of a group has “effects" in their instrumental credits, it's a safe bet this ain't your granddaddy's jazz. When it's violinist Jeff Gauthier's Goatette, punctuating the quirky theme in the first moments of “40 Lashes (With Mascara)" with thundering drums and high-octane power chords, it's clear that Open Source is going to make plenty ...
The Twenty 20s: Uh! Oh!
by Dan McClenaghan
Are these people nuts? That could be the question when the title tune to the The Twenty 20's Uh! Oh! begins to spin. It sounds like surf guitar legend Dick Dale found a cheeky--but really good--girl singer influenced by Alvin and the Chipmunks, then recruited Phil Spector to produce--on a lower budget than the famed producer ...
Pierrick Pedron: Cheerleaders
by Bruce Lindsay
Pierrick Pédron grew up in 1980s France listening to Neil Young and the super groups of rock, as well as to saxophone greats such as Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley. This combination of early influences can be clearly heard on the French alto saxophonist's third solo album, the fascinating and occasionally enigmatic Cheerleaders. ...
Neil Young - Prairie Wind (2005)
By Mark Saleski No harm meant by this remark: I'd rather listen to John Mayer than Elliott Smith. So there, I've said it. Not to illustrate that I've got no indie cred. That I apparently have no taste in music. Not even to piss off the legions of Smith fans. No, that is not the point. ...
