Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – TD Garden, Boston – 3/20/23

2023-03-21 · 18 Comments ·

Yes, yes, dear regular readers. Did you think I was going to allow the Boss to visit Boston and not go see him and the boys (and girls?) Silly you. But this won’t be a review as such. Reviewing a Springsteen show is like reviewing … Continue reading Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – TD Garden, Boston – 3/20/23

An ME tribute to Gary Rossington – The Last of the Original Skynyrds

2023-03-13 · 14 Comments ·

I was watching the 6:30 national news recently when I heard that Gary Rossington had died. Interestingly, they referred to him as a “guitar legend” but I very much doubt that his name is well-known outside the rock world. Certainly, there were people who didn’t … Continue reading An ME tribute to Gary Rossington – The Last of the Original Skynyrds

An ME Tribute to Wayne Shorter

2023-03-09 · 20 Comments ·

In case you missed it (since the media completely isgnored it), jazz giant Wayne Shorter died on March 2nd, 2023. I found out several days later when my friend Steve texted me. Meanwhile we get media alerts every time Beyonce drops a tune or Taylor … Continue reading An ME Tribute to Wayne Shorter

Book Review – The Philosophy of Modern Song – Bob Dylan

2023-03-06 · 29 Comments ·

Back in 2004, Bob Dylan published a book of (some of) his life called Chronicles: Volume One. It was a pretty insightful, entertaining look into the mind of this enigma. While we await Volume Two, we now have The Philosophy of Modern Song which is, … Continue reading Book Review – The Philosophy of Modern Song – Bob Dylan

One-hit Wonders

2023-02-272023-02-27 · 8 Comments ·

I wanted to belatedly note the passing of Tom Verlaine, guitarist, and songwriter for the band Television. Their seminal album Marquee Moon from the punk era (really a guitar album) is one that i’d done a blog on a while back. Actually, I reblogged a … Continue reading One-hit Wonders

Featured Album – Super Session – Al Kooper (with Michael Bloomfield and Steven Stills)

2023-02-20 · 11 Comments ·

(Despite the cover, at no point in time were Bloomfield, Kooper, and Stills in the studio at the same time) I did a two-part series on Al Kooper a while back which I called Al Kooper- Journeyman. Which he was, and is. I’ll spare you … Continue reading Featured Album – Super Session – Al Kooper (with Michael Bloomfield and Steven Stills)

Popa Chubby Live at the Bull Run

2023-02-15 · 11 Comments ·

The Bull Run is a long-standing (mostly) blues club way out in small-town Massachusetts. Have to go there or New Hampshire as the city of Boston – which is actually a fairly cosmopolitan city – has largely abandoned it. They have a House of Blues … Continue reading Popa Chubby Live at the Bull Run

Mad Dogs and Englishmen – The Joe Cocker/Leon Russell 1970 American Tour

2023-02-122023-02-12 · 12 Comments ·

When singer Rita Coolidge attended the premiere of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, the 1971 documentaru that chronicled the Joe Cocker–fronted tour of the same name, the experience was far from celebratory. β€œI started shaking and crying and it all came back to me,” she says. … Continue reading Mad Dogs and Englishmen – The Joe Cocker/Leon Russell 1970 American Tour

One Song/Three Versions – Ring of Fire

2023-02-08 · 22 Comments ·

I’m not the world’s biggest country fan. But if I had to pick one guy it would be Johnny Cash. He wrote good stuff, he was a collaborator with Dylan and he was open-minded enough later in life to record songs by bands like Nine … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – Ring of Fire

One Song/Three Versions – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

2023-02-06 · 5 Comments ·

My One Song/Three Versions posts are about nothing more than showing the creative ways other artists can take a song and give it a different spin. These versions may never replace the original in your estimation. But give them credit for trying.Β  Wikipedia: “This Must … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
