The 2012 class of inductees to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame have been announced. Entering this year will be: Guns N' Roses Red Hot Chili Peppers Beastie Boys Donovan The Faces Freddie King Don Kirshner Cosimo Matassa Tom Dowd Glyn Johns A few thoughts: It will be interesting to see how the entire G n' R induction goes down.  It could be magical, but in all likelihood it will be an absolute circus. Red Hot Chili Peppers are a bit surprising to me as their work over the past 20 years or so detracts heavily from their incredible ...

As I dosed off sometime in the middle of the night in a dumpy motel after a long day of traveling and visiting relatives, the sleeping soundtrack my man had put on struck me as a brilliant piece of music. It wasn't until the next morning, when, as if realizing what I had dreamed, I said, "You put on some really great music last night. Who was that?" "Yeah, it was good wasn't it? That's The Low Anthem." Yes. It was good! It was an aromatic mix of Ray LaMontagne and Elbow, with a touch of Ben ...

Memories of Summer... Photos by Kira Doucette Words by Julie Stoller Live from Life is good 2011 Prowse Farm - Canton, MA ALL STAR PERFORMANCE - The Band’s classic “Ophelia” got the rambunctious New Orleans brass band treatment, and they performed other old favorites such as “This Wheel’s On Fire” (written by Rick Danko and Bob Dylan, on Music from Big Pink, 1968), “Long Black Veil” (also on Big Pink, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin), and “Tears of Rage” (written by Dylan and Richard Manual, which appeared on The Basement Tapes). These classics were joined by a satisfying ...

The Staves: “Mexico” Video Father-son producing giants Glyn and Ethan Johns have teamed up to co-produce their first record together, adding a trio of charming singers to the impressive roster of voices (Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Rolling Stones, et al.) they’ve helped put to tape over the years: The Staves , a harmonizing folk group starring sisters Emily, Jessica, and Camilla Staveley-Taylor. Their LP isn’t due until next year, but this winter brings a teaser EP and official video for that set’s title track, “Mexico.” (Upon first listen, Johns & Son seem to have hit another home run in ...

Ever since I watched the YouTube video of Lisa Hannigan singing ‘I Don’t Know’ sandwiched in a tiny pub cubby hole with many other limbs and instruments, I have been enchanted. Hannigan rises once again in triumph from Mercury Prize nominated debut album, See Sew , with Passenger , which provides a dense journey of warmth and serenity, in an album which is truly a pleasure to indulge in. Themes of travelling and movement thread themselves throughout the album, tracks which resound with weary worries of loved ones, resembling the journey of Hannigan, and listener’s alike, in the human experience ...

The sophomore offering ‘Passenger’ from Irish chanteuse Lisa Hannigan ensures that she is not a girl with just one album in her. With the heartfelt lyrics and plinky plonk rock fans have come to appreciate, ‘Passenger’ shows us a woman who has grown stronger and more sure of herself. She ably tackles both the abstract in ‘O Sleep’, a sweet duet with Ray LaMontagne, and the concrete with the voice of a slightly sexy angel....

It’s been awhile since we brought up a Seattle band. I always seem to find the singer songwriters. Listening to a little Ray Lamontagne radio on Pandora brought Rocky Votolato into my life. One of my favorite things about music is discovering the history of where the music comes from. How did it come about? [...]

Weltverloren und mit unglaublichem Stimmumfang wie eh und je performt McMorrow in dem minimalistisch wirkenden, dennoch nicht weniger beeindruckenden Clip des Klassikers aus dem Jahre 1989.

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Q + A Nicholas LaClair When Lisa Hannigan made her first album, 2008's 'Sea Sew,' she wasn't the most comfortable solo performer -- understandably, given that she had spent six of the previous seven years recording and touring with Damien Rice . It's a more confident Hannigan who returns with a new album, 'Passenger' (out now on ATO Records), which the Irish singer and songwriter recorded in a mere week with producer Joe Henry . "It was a very relaxed session," Hannigan says. "It was like going to some amazing, beautiful musical summer camp -- in ...
