The highlight of my musical life in the last two weeks was seeing Ramblin’ Jack Elliott perform at WOW Hall in Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is a pretty rough music town if you aren’t into jam bands and the like so I don’t get to see much when I am home. A pleasant surprise that Ramblin’ […]

My musical highlight of the last two weeks was visiting The Big House, where the Allman Brothers and various hangers on lived in the early 70s. I was down in Macon for the only good reason anyone goes

I don’t have any shows lined up for January, which I don’t much like. But I did have one exciting musical moment in the last two weeks. I finally watched Les Blank’s film A Poem is a Naked Person, which is a sort of profile of Leon Russell, but really is a more a film […]

The big news in music this week was the loss of Angelo Badalamenti, the great film composer who made David Lynch’s films even greater. His collaboration with Lynch was just about equal to Morricone with Leone and he should be seen as a top 10 film composer of all time. Huge loss. We also lost […]

This week’s musical highlight for me was seeing a recording of Mountain Stage, the legendary West Virginia-based public radio music program. But I wasn’t in West Virginia. They did it at t

This week’s musical highlight for me was seeing Patterson Hood play City Winery in Boston. This is exactly two weeks after his Drive By Truckers bandmate Mike Cooley played there so that was a g
