Lone Justice: This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983
by Doug Collette
After The Byrds went to Nashville and The Flying Burritos Brothers startled LA with their suits from Nudie's, but before there was alternative country as founded by Uncle Tupelo, there was cowpunk in the stylized form of the Long Ryders, but more organically as portrayed by Lone Justice. With three-quarters of its twelve tracks previously unreleased, ...
Uncle Tupelo: No Depression Legacy Edition
by Doug Collette
It may not be entirely accurate to state Uncle Tupelo invented alternative country music, but it is very close to the truth to say that by incorporating influences as disparate as The Stooges and the Carter Family, they defined the diversity integrated within this style of music evolving in the late Eighties and early Nineties. Accordingly, ...
Iain Matthews: The Art of Obscurity
by Doug Collette
Iain Matthews has come to be something of a past master of the concept in this album title. Not the highest profile member of Fairport convention--Sandy Dennis and Richard Thompson hold that designation--the singer/musician has nevertheless continued to maintain a more than respectable profile for decades, through his assembly of Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong and a ...
Big Head Todd and the Monsters: Black Beehive
by Doug Collette
Big Head Todd & The Monsters have maintained a solid and occasionally high profile since their formation in 1986.

Phish at Madison Square Garden
by Doug Collette
Phish Madison Square Garden New York, NY December 31, 2013 Above and beyond the secret language of their community, Phish have long been masters at making statements without coming right out and saying what they mean, largely because of the mutual faith long ago instituted between the band and their fans. ...
Brian McCarthy: This Just In
by Hrayr Attarian
Jazz is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Vermont but the state, despite its size, has had a long involvement with improvised music. Trumpeters Alan Shorter and Bill Dixon taught at Bennington College and guitarist Attila Zoller founded the Vermont Jazz Center in Brattleboro. In addition to having a small yet ...
Van Morrison: Moondance Expanded
by Doug Collette
Described as classic by the artist himself, Van Morrison's Moondance is one of those albums that is nothing but a sublime pleasure to rediscover it via the expanded edition. In its remastered version, the polished perfection of the original ten collection of tracks heightens a delicate density that's further illuminated by hearing the outtakes, alternate versions ...
Los Lobos: Disconnected in New York City
by Doug Collette
Recorded within the intimate confines of the Big Apple's City Winery in December 2012, Disconnected in New York City finds Los Lobos' simultaneously recognizing, anticipating and celebrating its fortieth anniversary as a band. Little wonder the performances are so sparkling on the three discs within the 'Deluxe Edition,' potent beyond their somewhat abbreviated duration.
The Clash: Hits Back
by Doug Collette
Companion piece in miniature to the exhaustive Sound System (Epic, 2013), The Clash's Hits Back would be merely another collection were it not for the novel twist applied to its anthologizing. The thirty-two remastered tracks on two cd's (or three vinyl lp's) are sequenced in the running order of a 1982 Clash concert, a replication of ...
