Trust Me, I

Andrew Bruss December 15, 2011 No Comments

It is a little disturbing how many people with very serious problems wrote to the former (and future) Black Sabbath front-man regarding serious medical problems, and while he was always willing to put his two cents in, Ozzy told every single one of them to visit a real doctor. Trust Me, I’m Dr. Ozzy isn’t going to change the way you live day to day, but it will provide you with plenty of entertaining anecdotes that just may prove to be applicable to your life.

Wye Oak: Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, CA 12/03/2011

Joan Bowlen December 15, 2011 No Comments

Wye Oak has been touring the release of their third album Civilian since the beginning of this year, and despite playing 200 shows this year alone, the rhythmic and lyrical integrity of the album's songs have lost none of their potency after months on tour.

Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights: The Parish at House Of Blues, New Orleans, LA, 11/20/11

Leslie Michele Derrough December 15, 2011 No Comments

Steppenwolf may have famously sang that we were born to be wild, but on a hot late November night in New Orleans the band sitting with me upstairs at the House Of Blues looks just a little frayed around the edges, as if they could stretch out on the couches and go soundly asleep. It is the official last show of their long tour and Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights are feeling mixed emotions.

Melissa Ferrick: Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, Berkeley, CA 10/17/2011

Peter Zimmerman December 14, 2011 No Comments

Through a winsome blend of humor, visceral guitar playing, vulnerability, a healthy dose of heartbreak and passionate singing, Ferrick maximizes her time on stage and leaves her audience both satisfied and wanting more– but with 150 songs at the ready, that’s always going to be the case.

Keller Williams: Bass

Bryan Rodgers December 14, 2011 No Comments

But for Bass to be anything other than what it is would be discounting what he’s built over the last two decades. It’s not going to replace Williams’ Stage or Breathe in the jamband canon, but Bass is as quintessentially Keller as the rest of his catalog.

Ray Charles: Live In France 1961

A half century later, the genius of Ray Charles continues….

The Felice Brothers: Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT 11/19/11

Doug Collette December 13, 2011 No Comments

The Felice Brothers had a right to look perfectly bedraggled under the stage lights at Higher Ground. As Ian Felicde related early in the set, their bus had broken down enroute to Vermont while sibling James had been in the hospital earlier in the day with pink eye (hence his intro of a tune later in the set as “the conjunctivitis version).

Lotus: Lotus

Bryan Rodgers December 13, 2011 No Comments

Lotus’ self-titled fourth studio album features the band painting with bigger, broader brushes to create their musical vision. There’s a signature sound in place, the result of a decade’s worth of evolution in both band and equipment, but many of the intricacies that defined the band’s sound have been shaped into grander melodic ideas.

Ray Charles: Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles

Gerry Hardy December 13, 2011 No Comments

Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles covers this second period of Ray Charles’ career 1959 to 1972 on ABC-Paramount, offering A and B sides of all the singles released by ABC. The hits are here starting with his first #1 for ABC, “Georgia On My Mind” all the way to “America The Beautiful” in 1972.

Opening with an instrumental workout that builds to the lyrical proclamations of “Stand” you witness immediately that MTO Plays Sly is not your ordinary cover album.
