Nashville. Music City USA. The Country Music Capitol of the World. The home of Sound & Shape, perhaps the next big thing in prog rock. What? If that last one doesn't seem to fit, it's not just you. It's just as well, because there is plenty about this band that doesn't really fit, so to speak. In some ways that's been a blessing and in other ways a curse, but always a challenge to make the best music they can.
Grammy-nominated quintet My Morning Jacket are acclaimed for their vibrant energy as performers, but on November 22nd the bandwill be animated in a much more literal form when they appear

Over a week after publishing the David Bowie/UB40 ad in the Halloween Playbill that made it clear Phish will be returning for another New Year’s Run in Miami, the band
Lenny is the tenth and final track on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s 1983 debut album Texas Flood. The song’s title is a tribute to SRV’s wife Lenora Bailey.
Jeff Kitts sums up this tune very well in the book Guitar World Presents Stevie Ray Vaughan,
Like any master musician, Vaughan was just as comfortable with slow, delicate ballads as he was with barn burners. Vaughan composed the beautiful ballad, “Lenny,” for his first wife, and recorded it on Texas Flood. “Lenny” is very Hendrix influenced; it’s sort of a cross between “Little Wing” and “Angel,” two of Hendrix’s greatest ballads.

The former, a tale about the devil on the outside; the latter, about the devil inside. In this week’s Hidden Flick, there is a sinister combination of the two wrapped into one character played by ex-CSIer William Petersen.

From their article jumbling punctuation to their formation in Wasilla, Alaska, Portugal. The Man is a band that easily stands out.
