    Santa Ana Winds – my intro to Sons of Bill

    If there’s one lesson I keep on learning when it comes to music, it’s to keep listening to the recommendation services that our music services offer. If you spend any decent amount of time listening to streaming music on Spotify,…

    Memories of a Prince Fan

    In the late summer of 1984, I saw Purple Rain for the first time. I was 14. Adolescence had arrived, and was about to be taken for quite a spin with Prince Rogers Nelson at the wheel. Every long time admirer of Prince…

    Ky-Yi Bossie – come along with Bob Weir

    Recap: John Mellencamp at Comerica Theater in Phoenix

  • Apache Relay,  Rock n' Folk

    Katie Queen of Tennessee

    The song is sweet, catchy, and mesmerizing. It got me right from the moment I saw this video on Palladia. I’d never heard of the Apache Relay. They’re from Nashville, and they took their name from a scene in the…

    Future Islands on Jools – Meet Samuel T. Herring

    Another hat tip to Later…with Jools Holland for introducing me to yet another great act – this time, Baltimore’s Future Islands. “Seasons (Waiting On You)” is a great track, lush with synth melody. But it’s the antics of front man…

    In Appreciation of Mellencamp’s “Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)”

    After hearing 1996’s “Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)” two or three times at random times over the last week or so – on my iTunes/Spotify shuffle, on SiriusXM – I realized that, to me, it’s the last great…
