http://bit.ly/JfH7jE Levon Helm - Dirt Farmer During the Band’s original run (from 1968 to 1976), Robbie Robertson may have been the group’s strongest songwriter and the idea man behind most of their best work, but Levon Helm was truly the group’s heart and soul with his tough, sinewy Arkansas vocals and his indomitable, loosely tight drumming. Robertson’ solo work since leaving the Band has been the product of a man whose lofty ambitions outstrip his ability to make them interesting, but Helm’s music has been the greater disappointment; with the exception of 1980’s American Son, most of his solo recordings have been thoroughly disposable, offering plenty of good-time boogie but none of the gravity one might hope for from the man who made “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down†come to such compelling life years ago. Which is why Dirt Farmer is such a pleasant surprise; it’s easily Helm’s best recorded work since American Son, and an absorbing look back at his roots as the son of a farm family in the rural South. Dirt Farmer was produced by Larry Campbell, a session guitarist and member of Bob Dylan’s road band, in collaboration with Amy Helm, Levon’s daughter, and they’ve assembled a solid but clutter-free acoustic band for these sessions, and the simple but iron-strong backdrops and superb songs are just what was needed to bring out the best in Levon. Helm survived a bout with throat cancer that was diagnosed in 1998, and his voice is noticeably more weathered than it once was, but in many respects the additional nooks and crannies suit this material beautifully; his interpretations of traditional rural folk songs like “Poor Old Dirt Farmer,†“Little Birds,†and “False Hearted Lover Blues†sound thoroughly authentic but with a bracing sense of force and commitment in Helm’s vocals, and if Steve Earle’s “The Mountain†and Buddy & Julie Miller’s “Wide River to Cross†aren’t venerable classics, they sound like they should be once Levon’s done with them. Though Helm adds a touch of boogie to “Got Me a Woman†and a jumped-up interpretation of the Carter Family’s “Single Girl, Married Girl,†in this context they add some welcome spice to the stew, and Helm’s drumming remains superb. Dirt Farmer is a hard-edged but compassionate and full-hearted set of roots music from a master of the form, and it’s a welcome, inspiring return to form for Levon Helm after a long stretch of professional and personal setbacks. - Mark Deming mp3@320 Track List 01.

Dwarfed by the Wall’s irregular columns of speakers on a hot and humid Wednesday afternoon, the band thrilled the sold-out crowd of 20,000 with a far-ranging collection of tunes and jams that showed how far they’d come as musicians, songwriters and interpreters of others’ songs in their decade together. - dead.net mp3@320 Track List DISC 1 1.

As far as I have been able to find, the OST has never been released on CD and is very rare to find on cassette.The DVD releases of this movie have an updated soundtrack in which all but Young’s “Home, Home on the Range†and Creedence’s “Keep on Chooglin’†have been removed and replaced by generic rockpieces, presumably due to copyright issues.

I like the Kings v Coyotes too, but would prefer to see the #8 Kings go all the way. Save the Coyotes' Stanley Cup until they are back in Quebec City ... Les Yotes

Great article. Thanks for posting Booche.

Nice! I'll be in Buffalo that weekend with my son's baseball team in a tournament. Hoping this can be the evening entertainment on Saturday night :)

I'd see that double-bill! Just watched Back To The Future with the kids and gots a bit of Huey Lewis. Ahhh, to be 15 again

I had a poorer quality copy of the show on the 29th, but this one is really sweet. Highly encourage a listen. http://bit.ly/JZCAPO Levon Helm and Rick Danko 28 January 1983 Starry Night Portland, Oregon In early 1983, Helm and Danko did this tour as an acoustic duet.

Totally appropriate suspension. I wouldn't put all the heat on Shanahan though. It's Bettman and the owners who really decide what goes down. Fact is that ratings are UP. They don't want their "stars" to be suspended during this part of the season. This is not a court of law in a balanced judicial system. Precedent can be thrown out the window at any given time based on the criteria they use to "explain" their suspensions/non-suspensions. What has gone on in this first round is continually called "old-time hockey" and it's not. It's today's hockey and is being played within the limits that are set out by the league and the level of refereeing that enforces those boundaries. If there is something that needs to be fixed, they need to address it. If something they thought would work isn't, then do something about it. Seems they do this to one level in the regular season and then shit the bed in the playoffs. Ollie, i totally agree that the inconsistency in controlling/policing this is frustrating. badams, i totally agree and can't wait to see what happens when a "star" player does this and how punishment is delivered by the league. Low Roller, I think Fleury must have had some vaginoplasty or something 'cause that 5-hole got a bit tight compared to Jenna's Looking forward to a fun afternoon of hockey now ps - congrats to the Sens for capping another win against the #1 seed. Makes me puke in my mouth a little, but it's hard not to smile when a complete underdog cause grief to a #1 team in playoffs. They still are your team Ottawa, not Canada's

http://bit.ly/IE9y9N Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts Norah Jones’ debut album, 2002’s Come Away With Me, sold so many copies — roughly 20 million worldwide, making it one of the best-selling records of the previous decade — that she’s seemed fairly liberated ever since, especially once expectations of future blockbusters settled to something more realistic. Without losing her knack for impeccably classy professionalism, Jones has kept pushing her sound beyond the warmly accessible pop-jazz that launched her career, whether in the roots-country band The Little Willies or in her guest-vocal spots on last year’s Rome, the album Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton) recorded with Italian composer Daniele Luppi and Jack White. Ten years after her debut, Jones is ideally positioned for the subtle sonic makeover she undergoes on Little Broken Hearts. Written and recorded with Burton, who as producer gives the album a sonic edge that never overwhelms its star, Little Broken Hearts sounds like Norah Jones without bearing much resemblance to the work that once got her pegged as the world’s most commercially dominant jazz star. Trafficking in alternately sweet and icy singer-songwriter pop, it’s a reinvention, but not a radical one. It helps that these songs delve into deep, dark matters of betrayal and loss — and address them in myriad ways, from the wounded grace of “She’s 22†to the vengeful hurt of “Miriam.†Along the way, Jones coos and struts her way through a handful of crackerjack pop songs: “Say Goodbye,†the smoothly sinister title track and the single “Happy Pills†all meet at the midpoint between Jones’ past work and the fizzy pop Burton makes with Broken Bells. Always more versatile than most people think, Jones fits all of this smart material to perfection, marking her second decade as a star while making her sound cooler and more unflappably sophisticated than ever. —NPR mp3@320 Track List 01 – Good Morning 02 – Say Goodbye 03 – Little Broken Hearts 04 – She’s 22 05 – Take It Back 06 – After the Fall 07 – 4 Broken Hearts 08 – Travelin’ On 09 – Out on the Road 10 – Happy Pills 11 – Miriam 12 – All a Dream http://bit.ly/IE9y9N
