Jim Lauderdale: Americana's Country Journeyman Returns to L.A.

With a career as diverse as the emerging genre we call ‘Americana,’ Jim Lauderdale continues on the same track toward collaboration, generosity and an imagination fused with the influence of Country and Bluegrass traditions. His December, 2012 release with musical cohort, Buddy Miller, is a collection of songs, some covers and some originals, that focuses on the tight harmony vocal approach eschewing style over the feel and soul of the song. It’s a typical move for Lauderdale who has made a…See More

A Tribute to The Doors Ray Manzarek 1939-2013

"You don't make music for immortality, you make music for the moment, capturing the sheer joy of being alive on planet Earth... Everybody should live it that way."    Ray Manzarek  

In the summer of 1967 The Doors played the Anaheim Convention Center. I was 12 years old. I was completely transfixed by the band. Having an older musician brother, playing the Sunset Strip, signed to United Artist Records and playing frequent live gigs, made me no stranger to live…

Willie & Lukas Nelson - Just Breathe

Last June, with what felt like a last breath of grief, my brother, sister-in-law and I drove down the Abilene Highway that runs between Dallas and Abilene, Texas. With the hot summer wind on our backs, we rolled toward a small town, Winters, where my mother’s casket waited for burial between my 46 year-old brother and 34 year-old dad. It was a lonely trip.  At one point, these words came through the car stereo:

 ”Yes I understand every life must end, uh…

CD Review - Susie Glaze and The Hilonesome Band "White Swan"

From the earthy opening fiddle strains on White Swan to the final song's sweet homage to Appalachian singer-songwriter Jean Ritchie, it's clear this is not an album to listen to once and put away.  Susie Glaze and The Hilonesome Band have made an album that is a ride through a wide range of Americana meadows and valleys. From skilled instrumentation bluegrass jams, Appalachian vocals, sweet high lonesome harmonies and old-time folk influences, White Swan sings with the…

The Milk Carton Kids Return to the Roots of Folk Music

There are those voices that ring in our memories. Some are singular and scream with passion that demands to be heard. Elvis, Jim Morrison, and Bruce Springsteen can be counted among these. Then there are the interchangeable harmony singers whose voices weave around each other in a way so seamless, the voices carrying each strand of harmony and melody become one. The Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel are just a few who…

Happy Birthday Poem for Willie Nelson at 80

To the Gypsy for Willie 20 years later

               When you step off the bus

               your slow, easy movement

               gifts my mind with open desert scenes

               cactus, tequila and rain after a dry summer day

               you move through the crowd like a honky-tonk king
               dispatched from some smokey sawdust bar

               funny how time has slipped…

Carla Olson: The Gypsy Rider Returns

When Carla Olson was a young girl growing up in Austin, Texas her musical role models were Mary Travers and Jackie DeShannon.  It's not hard to imagine why.  With her rich vocal talent, long blond-hair and the music of the golden era of folk, rock, and country breezing through the Texas airwaves there would be little else to captivate her. But, her own musical vision would not be complete until she heard the folk-rock of The…

Many thanks, look forward to it.

Thank you for the beautiful writing and for helping us all to remember that the impetus behind the kind of creativity of folk musicians is to celebrate community and connection.

When I first met Guy in 1975 he would tell all these stories about Townes and Susanna...I thought it was some sort of weird redneck meange a trois.  In point of fact they modeled family and community in the deepest sense... their connections were deeper than the biological nexus most people call family...  She was home for both men taking no shit and taking no prisoners... Over the years I saw a lot more of Guy and Townes than I did of Susanna because they were out there on the road... but whenever I'd see Guy her presence was always there... He'd tell you immediately about her ups and downs... new paintings, new pains.  And she is in the songs.  I think Guy  wanted just to get back home every time he was on the road.

Thanks for the tender remembrance: Susanna. I shared some scotch whisky and a memorable few hours with her in Nashville's Goldrush Saloon, just me and Susanna, getting drunk and acquainted. I was a year or two past working with Waylon and at the time, managing Steve Young.  I had met Guy, but until then, had only a nodding acquaintance connection with Susanna.  After that evening, I felt like a lucky guy who got to share some time with a unique individual. RIP, Susanna Clark.

Thanks Terry and glad to meet you. Are you reading Will You Miss Me When I'm gone? I love that book on the Carters. A good read for even those who aren't as big a music nerd as me (us?). Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading all of your contributions and contributing myself as well. American music is about community, so here we are...

Terry,

     First - thanks for responding, and for listening. I'd love to be out there right now...our son lives in Northern California, so we drive out every once in a while. Usually hit the Grapevine after about 15 hours on the road and headed north as fast as possible.

     Funny, neither of us hear it in my voice, but I've been compared to him so many times I've begun telling people that Willie's furious because every time he does a concert people tell him he sounds just like Mike McKinney with Lucky Mud.

     I seriously doubt it, but it's a fun thought. Thanks again for letting me know you heard some of the music. We're having our monthly at-home music festival today here at Maggie's Farm, our 7 acre homestead in the Florida panhandle on the Stormy Gulf of Mexico.

     Door's always open.                      Mike

Have fun tomorrow night. Willie is someone I'm yet to see live.
