Jim James: Webster Hall, New York, NY 4/29/13

D.f. Warner May 3, 2013 No Comments

This night was a showcase of Jim James, whose meandering musical aesthetic is matched only by his evolving stage persona. His head-banging, cape-wearing, throwback rock-star act has given way to a suit-and-tie soul presence augmented by sliding, shimmying, and close (sometimes physical) interaction with his audience. His hyperactive, Flying V guitar solos on songs like “God’s Love to Deliver” were balanced by soulful, competent saxophone parts that added depth to a performance marked by the careful, intense delivery of the album’s uplifting, zen-like lyrics.

The Lone Bellow : Brighton Music Hall, Boston, MA 4/20/13

Albie Cullen May 2, 2013 No Comments

Between the material and the musicianship there is no doubt that the Lone Bellow will be at the arena level in short order. Their live show removes some of the record's Nashville slick, production varnish which allows the music's roots and influences to shine through- in part its almost like attending a good ol' Southern Revival.

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival – Weekend One Highlights: The Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, LA, 4/26-28/13

The thunder rolled, the rain poured down and the fans danced and sang, bringing the first weekend of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival to a joyously muddy conclusion. For the past few years, the Fest has lucked out with decent weather; and for the most part, the three day weekend was lavished with partly-sunny skies, some late afternoon breezes and typical sweat-conjuring humidity. So the raindrops were long overdue and not unexpected, if you paid attention to local forecasters all week.
