Jackson Browne and David Lindley – Live at the Philadelphia Folk Festival 2006
After listening in depth to the Jackson Browne/David Lindley DVD that I wrote about in my last post, I decided to post the audio here. It’s really a superb show, and an excellent companion to Solo Acoustic Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The version of Late For The Sky is unbelievable. Here is the track […]
Jackson Browne, a random note on Matthew Sweet, and a music lesson from Bruce Hornsby
So I get a call from my dad while I am at the radio station yesterday, asking me if I would have time to bring some stereo equipment out his way. I drove out, dropped off the stereo equipment, and we set out to grab a bit of late lunch. I had Jackson Browne’s Solo […]
Rock and Roll Weekend part one: Bruce Springsteen
Part of my absence here lately has been related to a couple of rock and roll road trips that have sucked up my weekend time. And as for during the week? Well, work took care of taking the rest of THAT time. But hey, that’s cool – it’s nice to have a roof over my […]
Counting Crows – Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings – delayed thoughts on the new album
I’m digging on the new Counting Crows disc Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings. I was a little bit bummed initially, because I thought the album was going to be a real “double album.” When I hear double album, I think of CD 1 and CD 2, and even when you have an album like Wilco’s […]
Albums Revisited – Bonnie Raitt – Road Tested
Sorry I’ve been absent from class lately. Life got busy. But now, here I am, so let’s get into it. Friday’s musical moment finds me listening in the waking hours (for me between 6am and 8am) to Bonnie Raitt’s double live album “Road Tested.” Road Tested is one of the finest and most accurate live […]
Festival Overload: When are there too many festivals?
Everybody and their brother are in full swing, blogging the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival happening in Austin, TX. SXSW is an annual 10 day overdose of audio/visual paradise for movie and music fans. For the past several years, I’ve had the goal to go to SXSW – heck, my aunt and uncle live […]
U2 3-D: The Movie
I finally saw U2 3-D last night. I’ve been dying to see it, and while I’ve been waiting for it to open in Cleveland, I’ve heard from every friend in every other city, many of them casual U2 fans at best, raving about it, telling me that I needed to go out and see it. […]
Concert Envy – Clapton and Winwood in NYC
I had plans to catch Steve Poltz at the Beachland last night, but the crummy weather here in Cleveland made me think good thoughts about being home safe instead. The recap of the initial Clapton/Winwood summit at Madison Square Garden makes me wish that I was in NYC instead. Being in attendance for last summer’s […]
LIVE: VAST at the Cleveland Agora 2-23-08
Jon Crosby and VAST are a musical nut that I’ve tried to crack, yet haven’t gotten into, up until now. My friend Andrea had sent out a mass email musical plea for friends to come out and check out one of her favorite bands, the aforementioned VAST. Always up for a good musical challenge, I […]
