CD Review - Jason Isbell "Southeastern"
Jason Isbell is quickly becoming the next prolific singer/songwriter of this generation with the upcoming release Southeastern which will be hitting the record racks on June 11th. Although this is considered his first solo release since 2007′s Sirens of the Ditch, Isbell has been cranking out work with his band The 400 Unit since 2009. Isbell received my coveted “Album of The Year” award for the first Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit self-titled album and scored a nomination for 2011′s Here We…See More

"It's going to be a low-key singer songwriter thing, but more on that to come at the Gram group. The Stones certainly wrote part of the soundtract of our lives, thanks for the notice of this."

New Major Stones Exhibit Coming to Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame
My column usually includes some heartfelt commentary about music ’cause I try and I try and I try and I try to keep readers connected to the latest happenings. In the summer of 1965, I was six years old riding around in the car with my big sis driving when this song comes on the AM radio. A three note guitar riff starts one of the greatest songs ever recorded and forever grabbed my attention, as well as the music world. Ladies and Gentlemen … The Rolling Stones will be honored by The Rock and…See More

Liner Notes: Dawes, Record Store Day, 420, and Patriot's Day Tragedy
It’s always a little tough to write about non-essential subjects when devastating tragedy has come down on folks who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Be it shootings, weather, transportation, or trying to be invincible … people continue to die senselessly … some way too young. It has touched close to home here in Akron, Ohio this month just as it has done more than likely in your town or region. We will continue to get brushed back and knocked down, only to get back up…See More

Aaron Neville- "My True Story" (CD Review)
There will be a ton of talent heading to Cleveland from April 19th to the 27th participating in this year’s Tri-C JazzFest including Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, Natalie Cole, and Michael Feinstein. But this writer is looking forward to the opening night when two icons from New Orleans, Aaron Neville and Dr. John, will be sharing the stage for some swamp boogie rhythm and blues funk. For Malcom John “Mac” Rebennack Jr., who is also known as the “Night Tripper” besides the good doctor, had a…See More

Will James said… Welcome Jay Minkin to Gram Parsons InterNational (as well as my other fun group The Americana In Not Country Group). At some point I want to put together a Gram InterNational in Cleveland, possibly on my way down to Nashville. I'll need input on Gram-inspired bands, besides Brent Kirby & the New Soft Shoe of course.

Greg Reilly said… Yeah, Jay, Tim Carroll writes really sharp lyrics and I really dig is ramshackle, Stonesy sound. There are some really clever songwriters around these days. Indeed, I reckon there has never been so much good music. It costs me a fortune, man! Have you heard of a bloke named Jonathon Burks? I try to turn everyone I can on to him. His album, Brown Paper Bag (all booze songs), is a cracker. A few of his albums you can download free. I exchange emails with him from time to time, he's a cool guy, too.

Yes, the Chambers' family has talent, man, including her dad and brother.
