Neil Young and the International Harvesters - A Treasure (Reprise, 2011)
Rock and roll legend Neil Young was a bit of a journeyman in the 1980's, investigating several forms of music from proto-techno to sad-eyed balladry. This previously unreleased live album from 1985 with a group he called The International Harvesters was one of his most successful groups of the period. Country music had always played a ...

by John Kelman
Days 1-3 | Days 4-6 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal Montréal, Canada June 25-July 4, 2011 Montréal is a city in transition, and in a move that's absolutely uncharacteristic of other Canadian cities, is planning a downtown renovation driven, in no small part, by the arts. Place des ...
Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II (2007)
By Mark Saleski I love to read negative reviews of albums put out by aging rock stars. They're predictable in a comforting sort of way. A big chunk of them say that the artist hasn't been any good since the “blah blah" release. Of course, the time span between now and then can usually be measured ...
Robbie Robertson: How To Become Clairvoyant
by Dan McClenaghan
Expat Canadian guitarist/vocalist Robbie Robertson has never topped his first two major-label recordings with The Band, Music From Big Pink (Capitol, 1968), that included the timeless single, “The Weight," or its classic follow-up, The Band (Capitol, 1969). But, then again, neither has anyone else.Since the original Band broke up--its final days together in 1976 ...
Take Five With Rhinoceri Trio
by AAJ Staff
Meet Rhinoceri Trio: The Rhinoceri trio, named for the most ponderous and terrifying beast of the primeval forest, both ponders and terrifies.

Neil Young and the International Harvesters - A Treasure (2011)
Time to rethink Neil Young and the 1980s. A Treasure, featuring live songs from a 1984-85 tour with a group of Nashville pros, is the sixth release in Young's ongoing Archives Performance Series—and it shines a spotlight on an often overlooked period between 1979's Rust Never Sleeps and Freedom a decade later. Young tinkered, and sometimes ...
Neil Young - Living with War (2006)
By Mark Saleski The debate had become predictable; maybe a little sad, too. An artist was coming out with a protest record. You could hear the bluster from miles away. Folks twisted themselves into spittle-flecked knots in the attempt to dress down the album as insincere, misguided, vain, self-absorbed—go ahead, pick your own adjective. Add to ...

In the New England Conservatory graduate's own words, “I listened to a lot of rock growing up, I continue to do so. So a lot of my music is about reconciling that...."

Daniel Lanois: Black Dub
by Nenad Georgievski
Not even a heavy motorcycle crash accident can prevent Daniel Lanois from doing what he does best, and better than most--making music or helping other people make music. He is simply bulletproof to whatever circumstances slap his face, be they bad or good. During his recovery period, after the intensive care following the accident, he produced ...
