Doing That Rooster Rag With Little Feat
The good folks at Hittin’ The Note magazine (get yerself on over to www.hittinthenote.com and subscribe!) have been kind enough to provide a download of my recent feature interview with Little Feat’s Bill Payne and Fred Tackett. We had a ball talking about the new Rooster Rag album, songwriting with the great Robert Hunter, painful […]
Philip Cushway Discusses The Art Of The Dead
Big and beautiful, Art Of The Dead (Soft Skull Press) is not just another coffee table book for Deadheads. It truly is – as the subtitle reads – “A Celebration Of The Artists Behind The American Rock Poster Movement”, compiled by longtime poster collector (and printer) Philip Cushway. Though he is no longer an art […]
Bananas to Bearin’s
With thanks to the eagle-eyed Sarah Ruef-Lindquist!
George Kilby Jr. – Six Pack
George Kilby Jr. and his long-time co-conspirators The Road Dogs – along with some special guests – have crafted a six-single collection of Kilby’s brand of “rough-cut American music.” The result is Kilby’s new Six Pack, packed with tunes as rootsy as the art on the album’s cover (created by his wife Katy Keen, by […]
Bovine Social Club – Bovine Social Club
Combining the eclectic acoustic bounce of early Boris Garcia, the worldgrass vibe of Railroad Earth, and a grittiness all of their own that’s nothing but real, Bovine Social Club’s self-titled debut album is ten tracks of fun, fun, fun – and great musicianship. It certainly didn’t hurt matters that BSC’s maiden voyage in the studio […]
The Folkadelics – Not A Folk Album
The Folkadelics’ debut album is exactly as advertised: it is not a folk album, fo’ sho’, boys and girls. This fine and dandy brain wrap is woven from threads of reggae, ska, bursts of funk, splashes of tie-dye spaciness, ratta-tat-tat hip-hop, and stone-ground rock ‘n’ roll. The key to The Folkadelics’ sound is that there […]
Dubbest – Avoid The Pier
Displaying a level of talent, taste, and patience beyond their years, the young lads of Dubbest took their time in the creation of their sophomore album, with the result being Avoid The Pier, total dub porn for the masses. The liner notes spec 13 tracks, but this is simply one big, fat hour of groove […]
Bunny Marrett – Bristol Archive Recordings’ 71-year-old rookie
The Jan/Feb 2013 copy of Relix magazine includes my feature on Bristol UK reggae veteran Bunny Marrett, who released his debut album I’m Free earlier this year. A rookie recording artist at 71 years old? With an album that was cut back in 1986? There’s a story here … Look for the Jan/Feb 2013 Relix […]
