If you have been listening to Jethro Tull for the past forty-six years, you will know the imprint they have made in the music world. That unique sound created when a group of musicians changed from being a blues-tinged band into one with a cacophony of medieval bings and whistles mated with the new darker […]

Billed as “An Evening With Lucero”, the Southern rockers hit Austin on Friday for a show at ACL Live. In true fashion, “An Evening With” meant no opening act. Instead, the audience was treated to two sets from the band, one “acoustic” and one “electric.” Lucero have always been essentially a hard rocking bar band, […]

Netflix let Adam Sandler make a movie. The resulting Ridiculous Six is about as insipid as you can imagine and then some.

It makes sense that New Orleans band the Deslondes would join St. Louis’ favorite son Pokey LaFarge on tour. Both acts wholeheartedly embrace the canon of American roots music and use an amalgamation of genres to craft something all their own. They also both released new albums somewhat recently that are among this year’s most […]

Macbeth is arguably the greatest Shakespearean adaptation in at least a decade, if not ever.

Lenny Kravitz was born into a celebrity family. His mother was actress Roxie Roker and his father Sy, an NBC News producer. He transformed into Romeo Blue, married an actress, spawned a daughter, became “Lenny Kravitz” again, released a zen-excitable album, became a rock star, an actor, a sexy man on the cover of Vanity […]

[rating=7.00] Brian Ritchey’s allegiance to southern spirituality takes many forms — swampy ballads, back porch devotionals, spirited, soulful laments and the usual pedal steel-laced homilies to home and hearth. Bordeaux surveys all these settings and more. While each of his preceding albums have taken different tacks — his eponymous debut drew comparisons to the usual […]
