Christian Parker: American Cosmic Revival Vol. 2: Miles From Nowhere

Read "American Cosmic Revival Vol. 2: Miles From Nowhere" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Cover bands abound within contemporary music circles, both on stage and in the studio. But a chosen artist's interpretation of the songs and music of another rarely matches (and never exceeds) the authenticity of spirit displayed by Christian Parker and those kindred spirits with whom he has been collaborating in recent years on the esteemed canon of ...

Joey Alexander: Celestial Keeper

Read "Celestial Keeper" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Joey Alexander may no longer qualify as a prodigy, but his skills as a pianist and composer remain prodigious. The bell-like clarity of the notes ringing out at the outset of “Bemused (solo improv 1)" augurs as much for Celestial Keeper as it does for the now 22-year-old, who follows suit throughout the album.

Musician

Ben Blankenship

Born:

I grew up in Enid, an Oklahoma town of about 45,000 people surrounded by wheat fields and known for huge grain elevators and a boom and bust oil economy. No one in my family is a musician, but there was always music around our house. In the music I play today, I recognize the influence of my parents vinyl record collection...large doses of Ray Price, Jim Reeves, Charlie Rich, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, a love of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash I absorbed from my uncles, the sounds of Neil Young, Bob Marley, Frank Zappa, the Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, the Meat Puppets, Husker Du, the Replacements, the Beatles and the Stones through musical friends, and my mother singing Patsy Cline and Hank Williams songs she learned from her mother and father. At 10 I was given a Fender acoustic guitar and began to play.

Rolling Stones: Black and Blue (2CD)

Read "Black and Blue (2CD)" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Forgetting for the moment any revisionism applied to the Rolling Stones album Black & Blue (Rolling Stones Records, 1976), the iconic British band was in more than a little disarray when it repaired to a variety of studios for recording sessions beginning roughly two years prior to issue. Still, retrospect applied via the reissue(s) of the ...
