Barton Carroll :: Pretty Girls & Brooklyn Girls

Barton CarrollPosted on

There is always a dearth of new music the last couple of months of the year, so when January finally hits, and the new releases do start rolling out, it's both welcome and, depending of the quality of the release schedule, and the amount, even formidable. Thus far in early '08 we have seen many a fine LP cross our desk, and they just keep coming. One title I want to highlight, based on the strength of his become a member or log in.

The Meters :: Live @ The Showboat Lounge, 1977

The MetersPosted on

In continuing with the string of New Orleans related posts leading up to Mardi Gras, here is a Meters show from 1977 I've posted on the Drunkard the past two January's. Call it tradition. Look for another Meters live set in the next week recorded at The Bottomline (NYC) in the late seventies.

Nobody..and I mean nobody funked it up like The Meters did in their prime. Shit-hot grooves. I have collected a number of shows from the band’s ’70s hey-day, and this is one of my favorites. It is culled from a 1977 New Orleans Live radio broadcast complete with a smokey-voiced DJ popping in and out during the duration of the show.

Great banter from the band too. Several times throughout the show Art Neville speaks directly to the greater New Orleans radio audience, telling them to get with it and come on down to the show. The beginning of “People Say” is particularly nasty.

Off The Record :: Jon Rauhouse (Phoenix, AZ)

Jon Rauhouse Off The RecordPosted on

Off The Record is a recurring, feature here on the Drunkard, that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native.

Off The Record gathers some of my favorite artists, asks them to reflect on their city of residence, and choose a handful of places they could not live without, be them bookstores, bars, restaurants or vistas.

Retro TV Themes Revisited :: Hawaii Five-O

Retro TV Themes RevisitedPosted on

Lots of new features on ye olde Drunkard to keep an eye out for in 2008 - the first of which, Retro TV Themes Revisited, aims to mine our long-running collection of past television (aural) glories. Have at it in the comments.

Yeah, book 'em, Danno. As you can probably guess, this is but the first of two Hawaii-based, detective shows' theme songs that will grace AD's TV Themes Revisited feature. Hawaii Five-O, besides . . .

Kelley Stoltz :: Circular Sounds

Kelley StoltzPosted on

We last heard from San Francisco's Kelley Stoltz on his under-noticed, 2006 LP, Below The Branches, and album that, if you missed, I would recommend re-visiting. If this first single is any indicator, Stoltz' upcoming LP Circular Sounds is set to receive similar positive accolades. Here's hoping more people recognize this go 'round. Album . . .

Dr. John :: Desitively Bonnaroo – 1974

Dr. JohnPosted on

Consider this is the first New Orleans related post leading up to Mardi Gras (as part of our annual month-long Fat Tuesday lead up series). This album is one of my favorites in the Dr. John oeuvre. Laissez les bons temps rouler.

I have but one ritual when I visit the Amoeba music on Sunset Blvd that I rarely ever forget to practice; nothing too hoodoo either, just a walk to the back of the . . .
