The Deliverance of Ronny Cox

By 


If you spend even a few minutes talking with actor and singer-songwriter, Ronny Cox, you may see a subtle but distinct light shine from his eyes. If you spend a little more time listening to his new album, Ronny, Rad & Karen, or going to one of his shows, you may experience that same light as warmth. It comes from a life well lived in pursuit of songs and stories while keeping…

NORWOOD: Well, my name is Norwood.  I’m an original, founding member of Fishbone.  I play bass.  And I spend most of my time just trying to appreciate the…

Concert Review: Honeyhoney at Fox Theatre in Boulder, 5/8/12

Back in the day when MTV actually played music videos and Rolling Stone magazine wasn't pocket-sized, a Southern California band named Lone Justice gave birth to a splendid hybrid of reckless alt-country rock.

It was 1985 when the band released their eponymous first album, which I still own on glorious vinyl. Fronted by the magnificently manic Maria McKee, who was 
heralded by esteemed…

"We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes"

There's a certain haze which gathers below the top of Bays Mountain some mornings after sunrise, some evenings, moments before dusk. It's like a sheer net someone has dropped on the hay, cascading down the hill toward the barn. In the distance are a few cattle, two donkeys. A pickup truck is usually parked. Birds and crickets sing the truest song of peace. On dark nights, when the sky is clear, lightning bugs flash their fire in visual syncopation across the hill. Their glow always…

An Interview With Andre Williams

Andre Williams is perhaps the greatest R&B legend you’ve maybe never heard of.  He wrote “Shake a Tail Feather”.  He scored hits for the legendary Fortune Records in the 1950s (songs like “Bacon Fat”, “Jail Bait”, and “The Greasy Chicken”).  He worked for Motown Records five different times.  He recorded for the legendary Chess record label in Chicago.  He wrote for, managed, and produced artists such as Stevie Wonder (he claims to have had a hand in selecting Stevie’s stage name),…

CD review - Norris and Nicely

Norris and Nicely- Plum Tree Studios

The pair teamed up in 2011 as a side project from their main gigs and decided to compete in the international Blues Challenge Solo /Duo category and won a chance to represent the Washington Blues Society in Memphis, making it to the semi final round.…

Glen Campbell and The Collins Kids in 1963

An astounding clip from the 1963 television show Star Route, featuring super-hot picking from Glen Campbell and a vocal cameo from Larry & Lorrie Collins. Oh, and George Morgan, who is actually the featured performer.

Great Escape 2012, Brighton, UK

Three days of music in the halls and clubs and pubs and nooks and crannies of Brighton. Hundreds upon hundreds of bands. Good, enthusiastic crowds. A well attended industry convention in parallel...

Downloading seems just as far from 'killing music' as home taping was in the seventies. Just as Edinburgh in August can only give you confidence in the energy, creativity and commitment of young people determined to make drama, there's much to savour in the Great Escape's showcase for new…
