Radio I-Ching: The Fire Keeps Burning
by Fred Bouchard
Ever eat wild duck? It can be tough and sinewy but often has oddly fascinating flavors. Try it spit-roasted over resiny charcoal from a Djibouti street vendor and you get an idea of Radio I-Ching--wacky quacky. The odd intersections of 'world' music (here Pan-AfroAsian meets jazz and Americana pop) are strangely unsettling yet grounded in this ...

It's hardly a surprise that Gov't Mule performed Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy (Atlantic, 1973) in its entirety in sequence on Halloween, 2007. The legendary British band is one of the most profound influences on The Mule, in both their original compositions--"Streamlined Woman" and others on High & Mighty (ATO, 2006)--and covers--"When the Levee Breaks" ...
