Review: Marty Stuart- "Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions"

There are certain artists whom I feel most music fans should have at least a passing familiarity with: Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, the Ramones, etc. The list is debatable, of course, and I'm sure hard rock and heavy metal fans would want to add Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath just as fans of hip-hop would want to include the likes of N.W.A. (in fact, f… Continue

Find more photos like this on Americana and roots music - No Depression

Rosie had played the very same space just one week before on her way north to a swing through southwestern Canada. She and her band liked it so well that they asked if they could stop on the way south just a week later and play again. So, Monday July 26, they played a 2 hour happy hour show. There were returnees from th… Continue

Grant Alden's Field Notes: The Patty Griffin Gospel Hour

My monthly bit of abject self-promotion: The next edition of "Grant Alden's Field Notes" airs Friday night, July 30, at 7 p.m. EST on WMKY-FM. For various reasons involving lawyers (but not guns) and money, they can't podcast the show. Which is a pity, from my side of the...microphone.

Anyhow, this show (cut at the end of March, so it's all a dim memory and an iTunes file now) celebrates Patty Griffin's terrific Downtown Church… Continue

Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
July 28, 2010
By Michael Berick

Summertime concert-going can be an exercise in “pick your nostalgia.” Do you want to see Heart or Pavement? The Scorpions or Cheap Trick? Last night, I chose the early ‘80s New Wave-y variety of nostalgia, going to see a double bill of the English Beat and Squeeze at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheatre.

Opening the show was the English Beat, which is now original frontman Dave Wakeling and a younger supporti… Continue
