Howlin Rain :: Winter Tour Companion (A Compilation)
Howlin Rain burned through L.A. a few weeks back in the midst of their Winter tour in support of their latest LP, The Russian Wilds . Visceral in execution, it was one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. […]

Tom Waits :: Ivanhoe Theater 11/21/76 – Radio Broadcast (WXRT)
The collective Waits-ian growl has reached near audible levels as fans anticipate the release of October’s Bad As Me . If you haven’t yet, do check out the teaser video that was unveiled last month for the record — It’s […]
The Beach Boys :: Rehearsal Session 1967
Dug reading all of your thoughts on the upcoming Beach Boys SMiLE sessions earlier this week. After posting it, a deluge of emails came in requesting that we re-post the Beach Boys rehearsal sessions that have popped up on AD […]
Tom Waits :: Never Talk to Strangers (LP Bootleg, 1979)
Recorded at the BBC Studios London, for the “Tonight In Person” show in July of 1979, this vinyl bootleg finds Waits working up material from his Asylum years. This particular performance hit the spot recently as […]

The Replacements :: Shit, Shower & Shave (1989)
A long traded compilation, Shit, Shower & Shave, recorded in 1989, is the sound of the band while on tour with Tom Petty who later, infamously, ripped off Westerberg’s “rebel without a clue” line from […]
Stevie Wonder :: @ Rainbow Theatre – London, 01/31/74
There are very few artists who had album runs like the one Stevie Wonder pulled off in the ’70s (the Rolling Stones come immediately to mind). The following set, from January of 1974, finds the artist in […]

Talking Heads :: Saratoga Performing Arts Center, NY August 1983
1983 was was an incredibly fertile year for Talking Heads . The companion album to Jonathan Demme’s Stop Making Sense made an effort at capturing the band’s live mojo, but due to its length (neutered at nine tracks) failed to […]
Tom Waits :: April 27, 1979, Paris France, Palace Theater
Before I cool it with the Waits stuff , I thought I’d share this last bit as I’ve been in a heavy early-late ’70s Waits mode for awhile. It’s that time of year. What I love about […]
Bob Dylan :: Yesterday (CBS Studios: Nashville/NYC Outtakes)
As nice as the official ‘bootleg series’ releases have been over the past 10+ years, it’s the unofficial stacks I regularly find myself turning to when looking for an off-kilter Dylan fix. Long available in trading circles […]
