  1. Great new single. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. http://bit.ly/dxf9gi Buddy Guy (feat. B.B. King) – Stay Around A Little Longer Blues Icon Buddy Guy Set to Release New Album ‘Living Proof’ on October 26th First Single “Stay Around A Little Longer†Features Legendary Bluesman B.B. King NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Five time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Buddy Guy, will release his new album, Living Proof on October 26th. His 11th Silvertone/Jive studio release marks an historic first as it brings together the incomparable B.B. King and Guy on the introspective and moving lead single, “Stay Around A Little Longer.†The landmark single represents the first time that these two blues titans have ever joined together on a studio release. Asked what he considers himself Living Proof of, Buddy Guy answers modestly. “Do you know how many guys I started out with who just threw up both hands and quit?†he says. “My first wife said to me, ‘It’s me or the guitar,’ and I picked up my guitar and left. We still laugh about that. But I’m still picking away at it, I don’t know nothing else.†In addition to the collaboration with B.B. King, Guy recruits fellow guitar legend Carlos Santana, who joins him on the slinky tune “Where the Blues Begins.†At 74-â€years young,†he’s been a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound and a living link to that city’s halcyon days of electric blues. In a career than spans nearly 50 years he has received 23 W.C. Handy Blues Awards (the most any artist has received), the first annual Great Performer of Illinois Award, the Billboard magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone ranked him in the top 30 of its “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.†Recently, Buddy Guy wrapped shooting the “Stay Around A Little Longer†video with B.B. King in Las Vegas and just held “An Evening With Buddy Guy†at the Gammy Museum’s theater in Los Angeles where he discussed his storied career and performed a selection of songs. Right now the indefatigable musician is on tour throughout North America. mp3@320CBR Track List 01 – Stay Around A Little Longer http://bit.ly/dxf9gi
  2. I haven't heard any more developments with this (pleasepleasepleasebetrue) trio. Anyone else? In the meantime, if you haven't heard the Hindu Love Gods' version of Raspberry Beret, check it out: Hindu Love Gods = Warren Zevon + R.E.M. - Michael Stipe Raspberry Beret by jackstanleywp
  3. http://bit.ly/cNj1jo Warren Zevon – The Wind In late August of 2002, Warren Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a virulent and inoperable form of lung cancer; with his life expectancy expected to be no more than a few months, Zevon focused his dwindling energies on completing a final album, and The Wind, released a year after Zevon learned of his condition, was the result. With a back story like that, it’s all but impossible to ignore the subtext of Zevon’s mortality while listening to The Wind, though, thankfully, he’s opted not to make an album about illness or death (ironically, he already did that with 2000′s Life’ll Kill Ya) or create a musical last will and testament. While The Wind occasionally and obliquely touches on Zevon’s illness — most notably the mournful “Keep Me in Your Heart†and the dirty blues raunch of “Rub Me Raw†— in many ways it sounds like a fairly typical Warren Zevon album, though of course this time out the caustic wit cuts a bit deeper, the screeds against a world gone mad sound more woeful, and the love songs suggest higher emotional stakes than before. The Wind also lays in a higher compliment of celebrity guest stars than usual, and while obviously a lot of these folks are old friends wanting to help a pal in need, in some cases the ringers help to carry the weight for Zevon, who, while in good voice, can’t summon up the power he did in his salad days. And remarkably, the trick works on several cuts; Bruce Springsteen’s rollicking guest vocal on “Disorder in the House†offers just the kick the tune needed, Tom Petty’s laid-back smirk brings a sleazy undertow to “The Rest of the Night,†and Dwight Yoakam’s harmonies on “Dirty Life and Times†are the perfect touch for the tune. In terms of material, The Wind isn’t a great Zevon album, but it’s a pretty good one; “El Amour de Mi Vida†is a simple but affecting look at lost love, “Prison Grove†is a superior character piece about life behind bars, and “Numb as a Statue,†“Disorder in the House,†and “Dirty Life and Times†prove the prospect of imminent death hasn’t alleviated Zevon’s cynicism in the least. (It’s hard to say if he’s being sincere or darkly witty with his cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,†though he manages to make it work both ways.) And the assembled musicians — among them Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Joe Walsh, Don Henley, and Jim Keltner — serve up their best licks without taking the show away from Zevon, who, despite his obvious weakness, firmly commands the spotlight. The Wind feels less like a grand final statement of Warren Zevon’s career than one last walk around the field, with the star nodding to his pals, offering a last look at what he does best, and quietly but firmly leaving listeners convinced that he exits the game with no shame and no regrets. Which, all in all, is a pretty good way to remember the guy. - allmusic mp3@256CBR Track List 1. “Dirty Life and Times†(Zevon) – 3:15 2. “Disorder in the House†(Jorge Calderón, Zevon) – 4:36 3. “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door†(Bob Dylan) – 4:05 4. “Numb as a Statue†(Calderón, Zevon) – 4:08 5. “She’s Too Good for Me†(Zevon) – 3:12 6. “Prison Grove†(Calderón, Zevon) – 4:51 7. “El Amor de Mi Vida†(Calderón, Zevon) – 3:34 8. “The Rest of the Night†(Calderón, Zevon) – 4:41 9. “Please Stay†(Zevon) – 3:34 10. “Rub Me Raw†(Calderón, Zevon) – 5:44 11. “Keep Me in Your Heart†(Calderón, Zevon) – 3:28 Personnel * Warren Zevon – acoustic guitar, piano, electric guitar, keyboards, vocals * Gil Bernal – saxophone * Jackson Browne – background vocals in “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door†and “Prison Grove†* T-Bone Burnett – background vocals in “Prison Grove†* Jorge Calderón – acoustic guitar, bass, electric guitar, maracas, background vocals, tres, Spanish vocals * Mike Campbell – electric guitar * Luis Conte – percussion, bongos, conga, drums, maracas * Ry Cooder – slide guitar in “Dirty Life and Times†and “Prison Grove†* Brad Davis – electric guitar, background vocals * Steve Gorman – drums in “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door†* Reggie Hamilton – upright bass * Emmylou Harris – background vocals in “Please Stay†* Don Henley – drums in “Dirty Life and Times†and “She’s Too Good for Me†* Jim Keltner – drums * David Lindley – background vocals, lap steel guitar, electric saz * Randy Mitchell – background vocals, slide guitar * Tom Petty – background vocals in “The Rest of the Night†* James Raymond – piano * Timothy B.

  5. Bummed I just missed catching Steve Earle a couple of nights ago. Thought I'd pull this one out for a listen today. The bonus live material is great Enjoy! http://bit.ly/adQWxT Steve Earle – Copperhead Road (Deluxe Edition) Copperhead Road (1988) was Steve Earle’s declaration of independence from the Nashville establishment, and it also became an important milestone in the early years of the alt-country music movement. Instrumentally diverse, the songs feature a mandolin, dobro, banjo, pedal steel, lap steel and harmonica rocking with the electric guitars, piano and drums. Celtic/outlaw-country/rock n’ roll/bluegrass. There’s plenty of attitude here, too. Think backwoods whiskey stills and pot farms, trouble with the law, guns, Vietnam Vets and desperado love songs here. Steve Earle knows his way around just fine, and he’s quite capable of weaving interesting yarns that effectively bring the tough people, places and situations he sings about to life. On Copperhead Road, Earle looks and sounds like a southern biker version of Springsteen/Mellencamp. One who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. He does surprise us with the tender alt-bluegrass of Nothing But A Child, a touching meditation on the birth of Jesus that’s very enjoyable. The Devil’s Right Hand tells the tale of a 19th Century teenager and his fascination with guns, which eventually gets him into trouble after he shoots a miner who cheated him in a card game. Not guilty I said, You’ve got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil’s right hand The title song tells the story of an Army veteran who returns home to the family moonshine business in Tennessee after two tours of duty in Vietnam. He has PTSD and a new plan to grow Columbian and Mexican marijuana for profit. Well the D.E.A.’s got a chopper in the air I wake up screaming like I’m back over there I learned a thing or two from ol’ Charlie don’t you know You better stay away from Copperhead Road This Deluxe Edition of Copperhead Road features a bonus disc that includes seventeen live recordings from shows in Raleigh, North Carolina and Calgary, Canada. This is great stuff here, and Earle performs live versions of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, The Rolling Stones’ Dead Flowers, Gram Parsons’ Wheels, and his own Guitar Town, the hit single from his debut album. If you’re a Steve Earle fan, don’t miss out on this deluxe version of Copperhead Road. Either one of these two discs is worth the price of admission here, but both of them together in one package make this a must-have. “…Mama said the pistol is the devil’s right hand.†~ By ol’ nuff n’ den sum (amazon.com) mp3@320CBR Track List Disc One: The Original Album 1.

  7. So how was it TimmyB? I really enjoyed seeing Steve Earle at Massey Hall last year. I can only imagine seeing him in an even more intimate venue like The Studio. Was it full? I just couldn't afford that ticket with a bunch of others i had recently purchased

  10. OT!! Again. Fuck, penalty .... Leaf TV Curse Hahahahahahahahaha! At least they picked up a point. Good for Tavares to get an OT in a hometown game for him
  11. A new one for the collection: http://store.dead.net/live-shows/road-trips-vol-4-no-1 This item is now available for PRE-ORDER ONLY. Item is estimated to ship November 16, 2010. Our popular Road Trips series begins its fourth big year with just our second release from the 1960s, and Vol. 4, No. 1 is a certifiably great one: Two complete performances from the Big Rock Pow Wow festival on the Seminole Indian reservation in Hollywood, Florida, May 23 and 24, 1969. If you dig ’69 Dead—and let’s face it, who doesn’t?—then these two sets, spread across three discs, will be right in your wheelhouse. Beautifully recorded by the inimitable Owsley Stanley, aka “Bear,†just three months after the amazing Fillmore West shows that gave us Live Dead (and the fantabulous Fillmore West 1969 box and compilation), and a month after the Midwest shows immortalized on Dick’s Picks 26, the Big Rock Pow Wow set gives us the ragin’ beast that was ’69 Dead at its most feral and wild. On Disc One we have the full Live Dead sequence of “Dark Star†> “Saint Stephen†> “The Eleven†and “Lovelight,†but each component of this quartet of tunes is loaded with unique moments and fiery interplay. “The Eleven†is particularly ferocious, and the half-hour “Lovelight†will definitely get you shakin’ your groove thang as you bop along to the Mighty Pig & Company. The next day’s set (and Disc Two of RT 4.1) begins with a smokin’ “Lovelightâ€; same song, totally different feel and vibe, as the band eases into the set and builds to its first few climaxes, with Pig once again in firm control, making damn sure that nobody has their hands in their pockets. Then it’s on to a fine “Doin’ That Rag†(from their soon to-be-released third album, Aoxomoxoa), a truly stirring version of the relatively rare “He Was a Friend of Mine,†which charges into “China Cat,†followed by another scorching “Eleven,†and capped by a dire and emotional “Death Don’t Have No Mercy.†Disc Three includes a charged “Morning Dew,†“Alligator,†“St. Stephen†exploding out of “drums†(for the only time during its ’68-’71 incarnation) and more. Nothin’ tame about this mind-blowing stuff! Tracklist CD 1: 1. Hard To Handle 2. Dark Star 3. St. Stephen 4. The Eleven 5. Turn On Your Lovelight CD 2: 1. Introduction 2. Turn On Your Lovelight 3. Doin' That Rag 4. He Was A Friend Of Mine 5. China Cat Sunflower 6. The Eleven 7. Death Don't Have No Mercy CD 3: 1. Morning Dew 2. Me and My Uncle 3. Yellow Dog Story 4. Alligator 5. Drums 6. St. Stephen 7. Feedback 8. We Bid You Goodnight Road Trips Stops at Big Rock Pow Wow 1969! The winter and spring of 1969 was a particularly exciting time for the Grateful Dead. They were finishing up their long-awaited third album, Aoxomoxoa, and playing with a passionate intensity unequaled in their nearly five years together. The group’s epic Fillmore West run at the end of February gave us most of their masterpiece, Live Dead — not to mention the gargantuan, out-of-print, 10-CD Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings (and the superb 3-CD compilation from those shows). This is the era when “Dark Star†really blasted off into space, when tunes like “St. Stephen†and “The Eleven†were peaking (along with the audience!), and just about every night was a wild adventure for both the crowd and the band. The Dead played 146 shows that year—the most of any year—criss-crossing the country a couple of times and playing all sorts of interesting and far-flung destinations, blowing minds at every bend in the road. Without a doubt one the coolest places the Dead played that year was the Seminole Indian Reservation in Hollywood, Florida, just north of Miami, at a rock festival known as the Big Rock Pow Wow, May 23-25, 1969. The Dead headlined the first two days of the festival, and their complete sets from the Pow Wow, recorded by the Dead’s inimitable soundman in that era—Owsley “Bear†Stanley—are spread across the three discs that constitute Road Trips Vol. 4, No. 1. Whoo-hoo! Unlike some of the other huge festivals held during 1969, the Big Rock Pow Wow was a fairly low-key affair—it attracted just a few thousand folks, mostly locals, many of whom camped in the woods and meadows of the sprawling reservation grounds and convened each afternoon and evening for ten or more hours of music featuring the likes of Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, Joe South, The Youngbloods, Sweetwater, Aum, NRBQ, Rhinoceros and a handful of South Florida favorites. There was Seminole dancing and chants onstage and off—and the adjacent restored Seminole village was bustling with native crafts-makers (and sellers), as well as various hippie merchants peddling their wares. Because the festival took place on Seminole land, there were no police or conventional security. Timothy Leary’s “people†were somehow involved in putting on the event and Dr. Tim wandered the grounds and occasionally spoke from the stage. “Orange sunshine†acid was everywhere. The Dead provided their own very psychedelic soundtrack for the weekend with two fiery sets that show the group at their exploratory best. The first show was built around what would become known as the Live Dead sequence: “Dark Star†> “St. Stephen†> “The Eleven†> “Turn On Your Lovelight,†each piece jammed powerfully and with purpose, flowing like electric lava—bubbling and spurting and occasionally exploding as it erupts out of the speakers and into the crowd. There are all sorts of fascinating twists and turns in the jams (including a couple prompted by Garcia breaking strings!) and the “Lovelight†has Pigpen leading the charge for a very funky half-hour rock’n’soul romp. Also notable from the first show is a superb “Morning Dew†(which appears on Disc 3 due to the timing limitations of the CD format)... The next night (beginning Disc 2 here) the Dead open with another excursion through “Lovelight,†but as you might expect, this one has its own unique feeling—same song, different vibe. From there it’s a tour through some of the other chestnuts of the era, including the then-new “Doin’ That Rag,†the wonderful ballad “He Was a Friend of Mine,†which eases into “China Cat Sunflower,†followed by another slammin’ “Eleven,†before arriving at a haunting and potent “Death Don’t Have No Mercy.†What a rollercoaster! The reminder of the second show (on Disc 3) includes “Alligatorâ€â€”appropriate for what is most definitely alligator-country!—a drum duel with Mickey and Bill calling on the native spirits, and a version of “St. Stephen†that begins unlike any other version from this era… and ends in eerie feedback before a final “We Bid You Goodnight.†Saturday evening reportedly ended with Timothy Leary requesting that all stage lights be turned off and then speaking quietly to the dazed and buzzed crowd about the light show going on in the sky above—planets and constellations and shooting stars. Ya gotta love the ’60s! Road Trips Vol 4. No 1—Big Rock Pow Wow 1969 is yet another sonic gem from Bear’s reel to reel master tapes, and mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman for maximum fidelity and punch. As always, it includes a beautifully designed booklet with period photos and an essay about the shows. There’s some pretty amusing stage patter you won’t want to miss, too. We think it’s one of our best releases yet, but judge for yourself: You can get more info and order this latest Road Trips by going here. - Blair Jackson
  12. Thanks for remembering Al Thanks everybody! That means a lot and I appreciate the kind words.
