Lost Album Series :: Dylan/Cash Sessions

Back in college, Nashville Skyline was the first Dylan album I ever really connected with. From there on out, there was no turning back. The claws were in, and in good. That being said, I was pretty excited when a friend passed these sessions/live/rare recordings on to me a few years ago. Two iconic masters of their craft . . .

Exclusive :: Norfolk & Western (Spring Picks)

Sure, I now live in southern California, but it wasn't so long ago that I lived in less temerperate climes and lusted for Winter's end with thoughts of Spring around the corner. It's just that out here in L.A., it's Spring year-round. Savvy? Ah well, luckily the folks from Norfolk & Western were good enough to list for me some songs that remind them of Springtime.

Reed and Cale :: Songs for Drella

(posted by j. neas)The enmity between Lou Reed and John Cale is no secret. After Cale's departure from the Velvet Underground in 1968 (following the release of White Light/White Heat), there was really only one thing that still connected them: Andy Warhol. Seems like that was enough to put a temporary halt to about 20 years of bad feelings, since one of the results of Warhol's death in 1987 was the tribute album Songs for Drella . . .

I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover

(posted by j. neas)Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! Although I am primarily of English heritage, I hold no ill will toward my Irish brethren.

The Minute You Walked In

It's Will from Be The Boy again helping to fill in. While our man in Texas is probably sleeping one off on this fine St. Patrick’s Day morning I’m thinking about late night drinks. When it’s past the party hour but not quite last call can be too much time to drink alone, not that it stops a dedicated man from trying. This last hour is when it pays to be at a bar with a decent jukebox. While it’s been a long time since I made last . . .
