Irma Thomas :: Ruler of My Heart

Irma ThomasPosted on

Soul singer Irma Thomas recorded “Ruler of My Heart” with Allen Toussaint in 1963 for the New Orleans based Minit label. Otis Redding struck a hit with it two years later, renaming it “Pain in My Heart,” and it’s his version that gets most of the love. But the original cuts deep in its own right. It’s a more understated performance; Irma’s singing is restrained, while the instruments come through in a muted, yet affecting, arrangement. Piano flutters eerily, while the backing vocals hauntingly coo across . . .

Sandy Denny & Linda Thompson :: When Will I Be Loved (Everly Brothers)

Linda Thompson Sandy Denny The Everly BrothersPosted on

If the death of Phil Everly has reminded us of anything, it's that there's nothing quite like an Everly Brothers recording. Noble attempts at capturing the magic, such as Bonnie Prince Billy and Dawn McCarthy's recent Everly LP (or even the Norah Jones/Billy Joe album), are fine and good, but they usually just send me back to the original recordings. There's one Everly cover that I love unreservedly, however: Sandy Denny . . .

Vic Chesnutt :: Everything I Say / Saskatchewan, November 2009

Vic ChesnuttPosted on

This is the strangest rock club I've ever played in, you know? I was wondering where the graffiti with dicks on the wall was. Well, now I know where they are, because I left a few on the wall in there. So the next band here will feel more at home. And now we play. - Vic Chesnutt

If reading the year 2014 feels like you're living in the future, you're not alone. Vic Chesnutt died four years ago last . . .

Benjamin Smoke :: The Jem Cohen Documentary

SmokePosted on

The talking head on CNN just used the term 'polar vortex' to describe the freezing temperatures presently gripping much of the continental US. Sounds like a CAN outtake, no? Anyway, I was back in Atlanta during the holidays, where it's presently 7 degrees, driving around the old neighborhood and remembered this nugget: filmmaker Jem Cohen's Benjamin Smoke documentary from 2000 -- a project that spanned a decade in the making.
