I have posted on Hem before...hell, not even a month ago, but this album deserves a little extra push, especially for those of you into the twangy-alt.country side of the A.D. blog. When I originally posted their cover of R.E.M.'s So. Central Rain, I was just . . .

It's been awhile. I found this cd in my closet this afternoon while looking for an old Bob Marley bootleg. I didn't come across the Marley boot, but I did find myself re-acquainted with this album. Saturation was Urge Overkill's 1993 major label (Geffen) debut (and the last UO album I heard) prior to their short-lived popularity derived from Tarantino's

Been sitting around tonight after dinner, drinking newcastle's, and listening to some old records with friends. Hendrix's Band of Gypsys came on the changer, and as always, I found myself grinning. If you haven't made this recording a part of your life, start today with this first track off the album below. A six song snapshot taken of Hendrix . . .

photo credit (www.luckymadison.com)Last night, The National , exceeded my expectations playing their show at The Troubadour -- and I had pretty lofty expectations. Opener, Talkdemonic, were fantastic as well in a Live setting, working up their batch of ambient folk awash in banjos, violins, live drums and laptop beats. I had spent a few weeks with their latest album prior to the show and . . .

To be honest, if I had spent more time with Alligator last year before making the "'best of '05" list, chances are, ol' Sufjan might have had a real run for his money. Regardless . . .

If you are into funk/soul/jazz Robert Walter's 20th Congress is an act to see Live if at all possible. Former Greyboy Allstar, Robert Walter, continued on his West coast boogaloo mission and expanded on it further with his band the 20th Congress after the Greyboy's demise.

The unreleased album Tall is the holy grail for Black Crowes fans. It is reported to exist, but that is all.
If you ever had a doubt about The Black Crowes owning rock & roll in the early to mid-nineties you need look no further than the sessions that would have been the Tall album. Stop and go recordings -- high . . .

One of the artists I really hoped to catch while in Austin at SXSW was Kris Kristofferson. The man embodies the country-music-outlaw-scoundrel-legend mythos, and I wanted to latch on to some of that magic in a live setting. Being Texas, even my cab-driver had a "Kris story" -- turns out Kristofferson was his father-in-law's private helicopter pilot in the early '60s, making daily runs from Houston out to the Oil rigs and back. I silently wondered how man tunes Kris . . .

Quickly edging in as one of my top albums of 2006, Centro-matic's Fort Recovery keeps all the promises made by their (and Will Johnson's) lofty back-catalog over the years. Others have noticed as well. Just last week I read Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood is heralding it as his favorite . . .

The new Loose Fur joint is good. It came out last week. On the Drag City label. It makes me want to: whistle, stomp feet, clap hands, drink beer, do my signature dance, turn it up, as well as other unmentionables. Get on it. Here is the first track entitled, ahem, "Hey Chicken." Tweedy on . . .

If you're a serious Black Crowes fan you probably already own this. The first thing you should know about Foamfoot is that it is a cover band, a damn fine cover band at that, playing mostly Southeren Rock and '70s staples. Formed and fronted by Chris Robinson in Los Angeles in the mid-1990's, Foamfoot did a one-off show at the Troubadour here in L.A. Read what Frayed.org has . . .
