John Cipollina: Quicksilver guitarist remembered in DVD set
Quicksilver guitarist remembered in DVD set
By Bruce Robinson
"I saw them all," recalls Antonia Cipollina, John's younger sister (by nine years) and the force behind Recoil, a newly released triple-DVD set that makes a compelling case for his musical legacy.
It leads off with the 1991 documentary Electric Guitarslinger, hastily produced for screening at the Mill Valley Film Festival not long after his death from emphysema at the age of 45. Along with archival interview clips with Cipollina himself, it offers early memories from his twin sister and their mother, along with comments from a host of musical associates.
The documentary also has a fascinating section in which Cipollina's unusual technique—combining finger picks with aggressive use of the whammy bar on his favorite guitars—is explained and demonstrated.
Disc two of the package includes interviews with a long list of John's musical contemporaries, among them Jerry Garcia, Barry "the Fish" Melton, Occidental's Nick Gravenites, Merl Saunders and Jack Casady, while the final disc consists entirely of concert videos, most of them never before available. This footage captures John performing with a half-dozen different lineups, from the Dinosaurs' appearance at the 1987 "Summer of Love" 20th anniversary festival all the way back to a 1973 Winterland jam.
A remarkable rarity is the clip from a 1974 San Francisco date when Cipollina sat in with one of his earliest influences, Link Wray. "Link and John had a really special friendship," his sister says. The two were introduced to each other by bassist Hutch Hutchinson, then part of Copperhead, who surprised John by having Link show up unannounced at his house. "They immediately became friends and started playing together," Antonia adds. "You can see in the footage how excited [John] is to be able to be playing with his idol."
But finding usable film of the original Quicksilver proved more elusive. Even after a new remastering job, courtesy of Wolfgang's Vault, which owns and shared much of the performance film featured in the DVD set, the loose version of the signature Quicksilver song, "Who Do You Love," is "still pretty iffy," Antonia offers, "but it was all we could get of Quicksilver. The old stuff, just four guys without Dino [Valente], was so flashy with the strobe lights you couldn't really see enough of the band to get anything. So we had to move to the next era, when Dino was part of it, which I would have liked to avoided, but we had no choice."
As that comment suggests, the demise of Quicksilver—which continued without John after Valente joined and, some say, commandeered the band—left a bitter aftertaste. Aside from a comfortable, laughter-laced interview with founding band mate David Freiberg—and brief comments from Gary Duncan and short-time QMS member Nicky Hopkins—the history of that seminal band is deemphasized in favor of recollections of Cipollina's personality, his quirks and talents.
"He was a soft, gentle man with an amazingly wicked sense of humor, very smart. He could tell amazing stories," Antonia remembers wistfully. "A lot of people have a sense of rock and rollers as being kind of down and dirty, but John was not that type of guy at all. He wasn't a womanizer. He was kind, he listened and liked to talk." Cipollina especially liked to talk about his gear, such as the monster multi-amp set-up he invented, notable for the row of brass horns that glistened atop it.
Even while Quicksilver was going strong, John's love of playing led him into a burgeoning schedule of sessions with other musicians, in situations as varied as the folk duo Brewer and Shipley, jazzman Charles Lloyd and Welsh hard rockers Man. Ready to play almost anytime the opportunity arose, Cipollina touched an uncountable number of other musicians, serving as a unusually accessible mentor and inspiration to many.
But despite that, his sister sighs, her voice touched with pride, "There's nobody yet who could sound like John."
'Recoil' is available at www.johncipollina.com.

Grote droom met klein instrument
door Marco Bloem. donderdag 13 januari 2011
Ferdinand Binnendijk uit Zwolle heeft met zijn mandolinespel het Prinses Christina Concours Oost gewonnen. foto Frans Paalman
ZWOLLE - Bescheiden toont hij de vele prijzen die hij zondag won. Maar de jonge Zwolse mandolinist Ferdinand Binnendijk (19) was afgelopen weekend tijdens het Prinses Christina Concours Oost in Enschede onbetwist de favoriet. Het concours is een jaarlijks terugkerend evenement dat een platform biedt aan jonge muzikanten.
Ferdinand speelde 'Variations on a Basque melody' van Victor Kioulaphide. Dat leverde hem naast de eerste prijs in de categorie voor conservatoriumstudenten ook nog de publieksprijs op en de wisselbokaal die werd uitgereikt door de winnaars van vorig jaar. Dat een mandolinist het concours wint is bijzonder. Ferdinand: "In Nederland is de mandoline een vrij onbekend instrument. Er zijn maar vijf professionele beoefenaars in het hele land." De ambitieuze eerstejaars student van het ArtEZ conservatorium hoopt zichzelf straks ook onder die selecte groep te kunnen scharen: "Dat is wel mijn droom. Ik wil uiteindelijk graag als solist spelen met verschillende orkesten, en misschien nog een opleiding tot dirigent volgen." Gezien Ferdinands loopbaan tot nu toe is dat geen ondenkbaar toekomstperspectief: "Al vanaf mijn vierde ging ik met mijn moeder mee naar gitaarles. Zelf mocht ik dan van de leraar mandoline spelen. Dat ben ik mijn hele leven blijven doen en zo is het gegroeid tot wat het nu is." Het Christina Concours in Enschede was de eerste in een reeks van zes regionale edities. In april mag Ferdinand opnieuw zijn talenten laten zien in Den Haag. Dan strijden de regionale winnaars om de landelijke titel. Dat Binnendijk zo ver is gekomen dankt hij aan zijn vriendin: "Zij attendeerde me op het concours en toen heb ik me opgegeven. Ze doet zelf mee met het concours in de regio noord, dus het zou wel heel gaaf zijn als we straks samen in de landelijke finale staan."

Anna Coogan in "In the Woods" (January28, 2011)
Up to their concert in In the Woods in Lage Vuursche (The Netherlands) I knew a little of Anna Coogan. Last year I read about her on one of the music sites and listened to "Crooked Sea" on You Tube. Last Friday Anne Performed in In the Woods in Lage Vuursche with the Italian gitarist Daniele Fiaschi
The concert was fantastic. From her website: "Anna Coogan's bittersweet Americana has enchanted listeners since she began writing her own songs in early 2002. A trained opera singer and field biologist, Anna translates her love for desolate landscapes, dark alleyways, and neon valleys into simple, sweet melodies."
Soon Anna will fly back to Seattle. But she comes back in Spring 2011.

Bob Dylan Bob Dylan Arrived In New York City 50 Years Ago Today (January 24, 1961/2011)
Bob Dylan's life is short on concrete facts and figures, very much by design, but the experts seem to agree on this one: The man born Robert Zimmerman arrived in NYC on January 24, 1961, exactly a half-century ago.

I've seen Bob many times. See some of my photos froim a tour through Germany a couple of years ago.

Crystal Bowersox - "Farmer's Daughter"
I love the song.
American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox exuded a hippie-chick, coffeehouse artist persona while competing on the show, but for her debut album, Farmer’s Daughter, the newly hitched singer-songwriter appears to be leaning heavily towards country. Smart move, Mama Sox. Will Crystal’s debut steal Lee DeWyze’s thunder when his lite-rock album drops? (If we’re judging from album cover art alone, we think she’s already way ahead — this chillin’ photo fits Crystal’s laid back vibe perfectly.) Preview her tracks “Farmer’s Daughter”, “Hold On” and “Lonely Won’t Come Around” below.

Captain Beefhart passed away on December 17, 2010
Rolling Stone and several other sources have reported that Don Van Vliet, the notoriously reclusive rock legend best known as Captain Beefheart has died today (December 17, 2010)
According to the article on Rolling Stone's website:
Don Van Vliet, who became a rock legend as Captain Beefheart, died today from complications from multiple sclerosis in California. His passing was announced by the New York-based Michael Werner Gallery, which represented his work as a painter.
His Trout Mask Replica was number 58 onRolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time....
"Don Van Vliet was a complex and influential figure in the visual and performing arts," the gallery said in a statement. "He is perhaps best known as the incomparable Captain Beefheart who, together with his Magic Band, rose to prominence in the 1960s with a totally unique style of blues-inspired, experimental rock & roll. This would ultimately secure Van Vliet's place in music history as one of the most original recording artists of his time. After two decades in the spotlight as an avant-garde composer and performer, Van Vliet retired from performing to devote himself wholeheartedly to painting and drawing. Like his music, Van Vliet's lush paintings are the product of a truly rare and unique vision."
Craig Young has posted a bit more information about his career and the circumstances of his death HERE but, to me, the more important story is the impact Captain Beefheart had on his fans and his fellow artists. Back when I was still heavily into grunge and metal with a little rap and classic rock on the side (years before I discovered Americana, whatever that is), I stumbled across an ancient vinyl record of Trout Mask Replica, and from the first notes of "Frownland" my perception of what rock and roll is and could be was forever changed. I also credit Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and a few others with helping me out in this regard, but Beefheart was the first. Without him, I probably would have never checked out Tom Waits or half of the artists I love today.

Country Rock from the seventies: Redwing
When I'm driving to my work or to home I'm listening to my CD's. Today Redwing from Redwing. Great.
Redwing was a band from Sacramento, CA. The band evolved out of the New Breed and later Glad, which included Timothy B. Schmit (Poco, the Eagles) in the lineup. After Schmit left in 1970 to join Poco, his replacement in the band was Andrew Samuels. The other members of Redwing were Tom Phillips, Ron Floegal, and George Hullin. In early 1970 the band cut its first album, Redwing, for United Artists. On this record many grat country rock songs.
- Please Doctor Please

One of the best guitar intros ever recorded, and Mosley sings his ass off and his bass playing as always was nigh on to exta-terrestial! Damofino these boys were just plain great, Peter Lewis' harmony vocals were also extraordinary, and Don Stevenson was a very tight drummer, and Jerry Miller may have just been one of the ultimate pickers on this or any other planet! Rest in Peace Moby Grape, your day in the sun, may have been brief, but, thanks for the memories! Thanks

Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer: Side by Side on the Road, Starting at Hardly Strictly Oct 3
Each woman has had a storied career, marked by intensely emotional vocals, songs that dig deeper towards the heart of the human condition and very different career trajectories, yet at their roots Grammy-winner Shelby Lynne and Oscar-nominated Allison Moorer are sisters -- and the common blood is what binds their disparate kinds of roots music together like a mandrake root.
After years of enlisting each other's help on various projects and one-off shows, Lynne and Moorer are going "Side by Side" for a short run of tour dates this fall. Beginning October 3rd at Golden Gate State Park, the women will first join voices as part of San Francisco's storied Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. They will then pick up for later in the fall for a November 27 show at Tarrytown Music Hall in Tarrytown, NY, a pair of shows Nov. 29-30 at the DC area's legendary Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia and ultimately bringing it all back home for a Dec. 4 show at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, AL.
"I am so happy Sissy and I are able to do this," says New York resident Moorer, recently a mother to John Henry. "We've talked about it for so many years, now we're finally going to."
Moorer released the critically-heralded Crows, produced by longtime collaborator RS Fields, in February. Lynne released her Tears, Lies and Alibis, the debut release on her own Everso Records. In addition to the CD release, hardcore fans will be able to buy a vinyl version Oct. 19 -- the week after Lynne releases her seasonal Merry Christmas
Lynne who came to prominence as a teenager whose fiery vocal presence suggested classic country divas, but that flame was tempered with a definite darkness She has explored far beyond the mainstream country Billy Sherrill and Bob Montgomery thought she was perfect for. The intense vocalist has made swing records Temptation singer/songwriter records Love, Shelby, a wonderful Dusty Springfield tribute Just A Little LOving and her seminal I Am Shellby Lynne.
Moorer, who would sing background vocals for her sister as a college student, took a subtler approach -- mining a decidedly roots country that yielded the metaphoric exploration of a theme The Duel, the decidedly cheerful Steve Earle-produced Getting Somewhere, the Buddy Miller-produced covers collection Mockingbird and the recent noir consideration of adult womanhood Crows and as Oscar-nomination for "Soft Place To Fall," the theme from Robert Redford's "The Horse Whisperer."
The shows are slated to be intimate, acoustic and -- knowing the sisters -- hilarious. With the kinetics of Lynne's voice and Moorer's more velvety lushness, there is no texture, color or form the sisters can't bring to life -- and finally, two decades after Lynne stepped on the national stage, the world can experience what makes these siblings such singular, but immense talents.

John Gorka & Ad van der Veen in In the Woods
Gisteren, 5 september 2010 bestond In the Woods 10 jaar. 't werd gevierd met optredens van John Gorka en Ad van de Veen, uiteraard samen met Kisten de Ligne. Het hoogtepunt van de avond hun gezamenlijke optreden. Een beetje onwennig maar van een buitengewone kwaliteit. Met liedjes van Bob Dylan en uiteraard Townes van Zandt. De foto's volgen nog. Voor degenen die niet geweest zijn. Jullie hebben wat gemist.

Little Feat in Paradiso (august 2010)
Great, great, great. They were again in Paradiso on August 20, 2010.
.
Ï've seen so many times but it is still the band with the fantastic Soudern Blues. Adain Dixie Chicken was the peak of the concert. They also performed other songs from their fantastic CD from 1973. One of the best ever made.

Mary Gauthier, born March 11, 1962 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American folk singer-songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Gauthier was adopted by an Italian Catholic couple in Thibodaux, Louisiana At age 15, she stole her parents' car and ran away from home, and spent the next several years in drug rehabilitation, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in a police cell.[2] Struggling to deal with being adopted and her sexuality, she used drugs and alcohol.[2] These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on. Spurred on by friends, she enrolled at Louisiana State University as a philosophy major, dropping out during her senior year. After attending the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, she opened a Cajun restaurant in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, Dixie Kitchen (also the eponymous title of her first album).[3] Mary ran, and cooked at, the restaurant for eleven years. After achieving sobriety, she was driven to dedicate herself full-time to songwriting, and embarked upon a career in music. She wrote her first song at age 35.[4]Mary Gauthier 2010 |

Jawhawks - waiting for a new CD
Led by the gifted songwriting, impeccable playing, and honeyed harmonies of vocalists/guitarists Mark Olson and Gary Louris, the Jayhawks' shimmering blend of country, folk, and bar band rock made them one of the most widely acclaimed artists to emerge from the alternative country scene. The group sprang up in 1985 out of the fertile musical community of Minneapolis, MN, where Olson had been playing standup bass in a rockabilly band called Stagger Lee. His desire to write and perform his own country-folk material soon prompted him to begin a solo career, which he launched after enlisting Marc Perlman, the guitarist for a local band called the Neglecters, to become Olson's bassist. After the addition of drummer Norm Rogers, the group began booking shows, playing its first gig in front of a small crowd of less than a dozen people. One of those patrons, however, was Gary Louris, a veteran of the local bands Safety Last and Schnauzer. He and Olson began talking after the show; by the end of the evening, Louris -- who was famed locally for his innovative, pedal steel-like guitar sound -- had become a member of the group, which eventually adopted the name the Jayhawks.
Drawing on influences like Gram Parsons, the Louvin Brothers, Tim Hardin, and Nashville Skyline-era Bob Dylan, the Jayhawks quickly became a local favorite, honing their sound in Twin Cities clubs before releasing their eponymous debut in 1986. Issued in a pressing of just a few thousand copies, the album was well received by those who heard it; a major recording deal did not follow, however, so the bandmembers continued to polish their craft live, with more and more of their songs bearing writing credits belonging to both Olson and Louris. In October 1988, after a lineup change that saw the departure of Rogers (who joined the Cows) followed by the addition of drummer Thad Spencer, Louris was nearly killed in an auto accident, and the Jayhawks went on hiatus. At much the same time, however, executives at the Minneapolis independent label Twin/Tone decided to issue the demos the group had been stockpiling over the past few years, and after some overdubbing and remixing, Blue Earth appeared in 1989. Richer in sound and more complex in its themes and concerns, the record's release brought the group considerable attention, and also brought Louris back into the fold. After another drummer switch (Spencer for Ken Callahan), the band hit the road for a national tour.
The Jayhawks were signed to major label American Records after producer George Drakoulias heard The Blue Earth playing in the background during a phone call to Twin/Tone's offices. With Drakoulias in the producer's seat, the band recorded its breakthrough album, Hollywood Town Hall, in 1991; a mainstay of critics' annual "best-of" lists, the album generated the alternative radio hits "Waiting for the Sun," "Take Me with You (When You Go)," and "Settled Down Like Rain." After a tour that saw the permanent addition of Minneapolis pianist Karen Grotberg, the individual bandmembers guested on albums from Counting Crows, Soul Asylum, Maria McKee, Joe Henry, and others. Before recording the fourth Jayhawks album, Callahan departed, and was replaced by session drummer Don Heffington. The resulting record, 1995's Tomorrow the Green Grass, is a beautiful collection of songs led off by the elegiac single "Blue," the recipient of significant airplay. A tour followed, but after some months on the road, Olson announced he was quitting the band.
In 1997, the Jayhawks -- now consisting of Louris, Perlman, Grotberg, and drummer Tim O'Reagan -- released the album Sound of Lies. Grotberg left the band in early 2000, and was replaced by ex-DAG keyboardist Jen Gunderman for the band's sixth album, Smile. A move to a new label (Lost Highway) in 2002 brought about more changes in the band's ever evolving lineup, leaving Louris, Perlman, and O'Reagan (assisted by newcomer Stephen McCarthy on guitar) to craft 2003's rootsier Rainy Day Music. After that, the band ceased operating under the moniker, though Olson and Louris toured together in 2005 and 2006 billed as "From the Jayhawks: An Evening with Mark Olson and Gary Louris, Together Again," eventually releasing an album together in 2009 called Ready for the Flood. That same year, the band released Music from the North Country: The Jayhawks Anthology. In 2010 the band reissued its 1986 Bunkhouse Album on Lost Highway Records.

Peter Lewis, one of the fouding members of Moby Grape
I just ordered the CD Peter Lewis of Peter Lewis, one of the fouding members of Moby Grape.
From the nonofficial Myspace site of Peter Lewis.
One of the founding members of Moby Grape, Peter Lewis is undoubtedly one of the most underrated musicians and contributors to come out of the 1960's rock revolution. Lewis was born into a show business family, and is the son of a renowned actress, the late Loretta Young. While in high school, Lewis played guitar and sang in a pop/..rock band called The Cornells and also rubbed elbows with Ricky Nelson, among others. After attending military school and a brief stint in the Air Force, Lewis was, for a short time, a commercial pilot for Shell Oil. After seeing an early appearance by The Byrds, Lewis was inspired enough to make music his primary focus. "I would have stayed a pilot too if it wasn't for the Byrds. It was at the Long Beach Arena where I went with my girlfriend to see the Rolling Stones that it happened. Being in the pilot's program had completely absorbed me, and I had spent the last two years doing nothing but flying, or studying about flying. Music had been put in the background. It had no pull on me, because in my isolated situation, I still thought the music scene in America was pretty lame. That all changed when the opening band stepped on stage that night at the Stones concert. Of course, it was the Byrds." It was during this period that Lewis began to develop what was to become his signature fingerpicking guitar style. Although galvanized by Roger McGuinn's playing, Lewis chose to explore the style on the six-string electric, and this set him apart from many other guitarists at the time who were merely imitating McGuinn, utilizing 12-string Rickenbackers. For over a year, Lewis and his new band, Peter And The Wolves played up and down the West Coast. Sometime in 1966, Lewis began playing with another underestimated musical genius, Joel Scott Hill, and through him, Lewis met bassist/vocalist Bob Mosley and the Moby Grape odyssey began. Lewis' contributions to the band were great and many. Aside from furnishing the band with some of their best and most accessible rockers such as "Fall On You" and "Goin' Down To Texas" , he also had an introspective, psychologically probing and psychedelic ballad style, and this is where his originality and talent truly shine. This is best represented on songs such as "He", "That Lost Horizon", "Horse Out In The Rain" and "Sittin' By The Window" (which be reprised brilliantly on his 1995 self-titled solo album). He also penned the profound "Changes, Circles Spinning", which can be seen as an ode to the end of the 1960's, and was part of Joan Baez' late 60's live repertoire.Between brief Moby Grape reunions in the 70's, Lewis and another Grape co-founder, the late Skip Spence, were instrumental in helping assemble The Doobie Brothers, as well as assisting in getting them signed to Warner Bros. Records. Lewis was rumored to have an offer to join the band early on with Spence, but when his former band mate decided not to pursue this, Lewis declined as well. In 1995, he released his only solo album to date, Peter Lewis, on the German-based Taxim Records label. Produced by former Doobies guitarist John McFee, the record is a penetrating example of Lewis' unique talent, as well as his musical growth. He has spent the last few years recording tracks for a follow up album, and still sporadically performs live as a solo artist and occasionally with some of the surviving members of Moby Grape. At his solo shows, as if to bring things full circle, he often performs a brilliant version of Gene Clark's "Set You Free This Time", which was originally on The Byrds Turn, Turn, Turn album. ~ Matthew Greenwald

Richie Hayward of Little Feat dies
Richie Hayward, the drummer and a founding member of Little Feat, a celebrated rock band that arrived on the music scene in Los Angeles with its distinctively eclectic sound in the early 1970s, has died. He was 64.
Hayward, who had liver cancer, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia in a hospital near Vancouver, Canada, said Bridget Nolan, a publicist for the band.
"He was a great drummer, and he was very much integral to Little Feat's sound," singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, who first met Hayward about 40 years ago, told the Los Angeles Times on Friday. "It's hard to imagine another drummer making that music because it's very inventive."
Formed in 1969 _ its original members including singer-songwriter and guitarist Lowell George, keyboardist Bill Payne, bassist Roy Estrada and Hayward _ Little Feat became known for its mix of rock, country, blues, folk, jazz and funk.
The band's self-titled 1971 debut album featured songs such as "Strawberry Flats," "Willin'," and "Hamburger Midnight."
"Through its first five albums, Little Feat has been thought of as a cult band, as influential musicians' musicians and as one of Warner Bros. Records' 'prestige acts,'" Richard Cromelin, former Times pop music writer, wrote in 1977. "Critical praise has been lavish, particularly in England where the L.A.-based band is regularly hailed as the premier American group of the decade and major rock stars like Elton John proclaim its brilliance."
And yet, Cromelin wrote, "the cash registers have been excruciatingly silent.
The band, whose "Dixie Chicken" was one of their best-known songs, broke up after George died of a heart attack at age 34 while on a solo tour in 1979. But the band reunited in 1988.
"I never thought we'd get back together," Hayward told the Intelligence Journal, a Lancaster, Pa., newspaper in 2004. "Everyone had gone their separate ways. It seemed like everybody was going to continue doing that. We were all doing OK, but we weren't doing our own thing like we are now, which is much better. It's what we all kind of secretly wanted."
Hayward's "deep, funky groove and vibrant rock 'n' roll energy" _ as an online obituary in Modern Drummer put it _ led to his playing drums on numerous recording sessions and live performances with artists such as Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Robert Palmer, Robert Plant and Bob Seger
Born Feb. 6, 1946, in Clear Lake, Iowa, Hayward began playing drums as a child and moved to California at 19 in 1964. Two years later, he read an ad in the L.A. Free Press that said, "Drummer Wanted _ Must Be Freaky" and joined George's band called the Factory.
Hayward also played briefly with the Fraternity of Man before joining Little Feat.
"My style has grown with the band," he said in a 1995 interview with Modern Drummer. "It started out heavily influenced by blues, rock 'n' roll, and jazz. Then it got more specific as I got into other kinds of American folk music and other roots music.
"I discovered New Orleans along the way, and that made a big difference _ it loosened me up."
A year ago, Hayward announced that he had been diagnosed with liver disease. His last public performance was July 11, when he sat in with Little Feat at the Vancouver Island Music Fest.
"He's really been a beacon to a whole generation of younger drummers," said Browne, who performed with other musicians at one of the benefit concerts held to help pay for Hayward's medical bills. "He was really loved; he will be missed."
Hayward's survivors include his wife, Shauna; and a son, Severin.

Album: Loudon Wainwright III, 10 Songs for the New Depression
Wainwright goes back to his roots. That's all folk!
Reviewed by Simmy Richman
Sunday, 18 July 2010
At a time when anyone playing Coldplay-esque songs on acoustic guitars is labelled "nu folk", it's worth reminding ourselves of the purpose of the genre.
And who better to do this than the original "new Bob Dylan" – although these days Loudon Wainwright III sounds more like the old Bob Dylan than the new Bob Dylan does. Try to keep up.
The problem, of course, is that as soon as you start bandying about phrases such as "the purpose of folk", you run the risk of sounding like that bloke who called Dylan "Judas" for daring to push the envelope. Point is, the times have now a'changed to such a degree that it's nice to hear one of the originals of the 1960s folk scene get back to the idea of making an album that simply and effectively addresses the issues of the day.
10 Songs for the New Depression clocks in at around 30 minutes. In that short space of time (he has never needed more than a couple of minutes to make his point: see "Tonya's Twirls" for proof), Wainwright can make you laugh, nod in agreement, shake your fist in despair and want to sing along to a set of songs as focused as last year's Charlie Poole Project, although clearly written at pace.
"What in God's name is going on?/ All I can do is play this song" he sings on opener "Times is Hard", setting the tone for an album that offers no answers, only songs.
Accompanying himself on guitar, banjo or ukulele, that focus of subject matter finds Wainwright in better lyrical form than he has been in for some time. The songs are funny and sad because they are true. And if anyone is left in any doubt, the sleevenotes add a personal touch. The accompanying text to "House" – about a couple forced to stay together because they can't sell their home – for instance, sees Wainwright admitting he's "remained relatively unscathed by the New Depression though I do own a home in Southern California that I am unable to sell at present". The state of his current marriage he neglects to mention. Obama, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Alan Greenspan all get mentions and, even if nothing else about folk music grabs you, you have to admire LWIII's honesty and humour throughout.

The problem, of course, is that as soon as you start bandying about phrases such as "the purpose of folk", you run the risk of sounding like that bloke who called Dylan "Judas" for daring to push the envelope. Point is, the times have now a'changed to such a degree that it's nice to hear one of the originals of the 1960s folk scene get back to the idea of making an album that simply and effectively addresses the issues of the day.
10 Songs for the New Depression clocks in at around 30 minutes. In that short space of time (he has never needed more than a couple of minutes to make his point: see "Tonya's Twirls" for proof), Wainwright can make you laugh, nod in agreement, shake your fist in despair and want to sing along to a set of songs as focused as last year's Charlie Poole Project, although clearly written at pace.
"What in God's name is going on?/ All I can do is play this song" he sings on opener "Times is Hard", setting the tone for an album that offers no answers, only songs.
Accompanying himself on guitar, banjo or ukulele, that focus of subject matter finds Wainwright in better lyrical form than he has been in for some time. The songs are funny and sad because they are true. And if anyone is left in any doubt, the sleevenotes add a personal touch. The accompanying text to "House" – about a couple forced to stay together because they can't sell their home – for instance, sees Wainwright admitting he's "remained relatively unscathed by the New Depression though I do own a home in Southern California that I am unable to sell at present". The state of his current marriage he neglects to mention. vrijdag 16 juli 2010

Rufus Wainwright
Rufus Wainwright in Prospect Park (win tix)
Dedicated to his art as he was, Monet famously painted his wife as she lay dying. I ask [Rufus] Wainwright if, as his mother was dying, he found himself standing back and thinking 'I must tap into this intensely emotional experience creatively'?
'I guess so. I think my mother more than anyone knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it. I felt blessed that I was able to be with her in the final month.
'She very much led the way for all of us and it was a lesson in grace and nobility. It's funny because, on the one hand, she didn't really want to hear me practising my new album, because it was making her sad [the album is an elegy to his dying mother].
'She knew she wouldn't be around when I was touring it. It was like: "This is the album he's going to be performing when I'm dead." So she very gently asked me not to play so much.' It is a touching comment: a son's desire to win his dying mother's approval coupled with an endearing lack of self-awareness. [Telegraph]
Rufus Wainwright's July 20th headlining show at the Prospect Park Bandshell is now being billed as "A Family Affair", as Rufus's dad Loudon was added to the bill in June (also don't forget, "This special performance will include a selection of songs from the Judy Garland show performed with piano accompaniment."). Tickets are still on sale for the Brooklyn show and I have a couple of pairs to give away. Details on winning those, with updated Rufus dates, below...

Rocky Erickson
"As one of the original purveyors of garage punk and psychedelic rock, Roky Erickson's status as a true innovator of his generation is already set in stone. As a founder member and main songwriter with The 13th Floor Elevators, his creative zenith may have taken place over four decades ago but the three studio albums bearing the Elevators' name still stands the test of time today."

As one of the original purveyors of garage punk and psychedelic rock, Roky Erickson's status as a true innovator of his generation is already set in stone. As a founder member and main songwriter with The 13th Floor Elevators, his creative zenith may have taken place over four decades ago but the three studio albums bearing the Elevators' name still stands the test of time today.
Indeed, listening back to the likes of 'Slip Inside This House' from 1967's Easter Everywhere (covered by Primal Scream on their Screamadelica opus, though not featured here) and 'Roller Coaster' from its predecessor The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators - likewise re-interpreted by Spacemen 3 on their 1986 debut Sound Of Confusion, it's hard to envisage either of those bands or many others that formed in their wake existing without the influence of Erickson and the Elevators.
Whether by coincidence or otherwise, Erickson's first new material in over a decade has also arrived this month, the Okkervil River accompanying True Love Cast Out All Evil having already received a highly favourable 9/10 on these very pages. Here, the excellent Sonic Cathedral imprint has pulled together an impressive array of artists obviously in awe of Erickson's work to create a startling tribute that collects 13 interpretations of his most feted achievements both with the Elevators and beyond.
The opening 'Roller Coaster', a live performance featuring Erickson himself on guest vocals with The Black Angels ably sets the scene. Although over half of this album is culled from The Psychedelic Sounds... era, very few versions stick to the template of the original recordings. A Place To Bury Strangers turn 'Tried To Hide' into a death disco noisefest while All The Saints' opulent take on 'Don't Fall Down' and Sarabeth Tucek's dreamy vocal throughout 'Splash 1 (Now I'm Home)' gracefully re-evaluate the original songs rather than simply pay homage. Likewise Lower Heaven's 'Fire Engine' and Hush Arbors' 'Dr Doom' (from 1969's Bull Of The Woods) both typify the boisterous spirit of the Elevators whilst taking on a mantle of their own.
It's the introduction of the big guns towards the album's final third though that really set pulses racing. Cheval Sombre's take on 'You Don't Love Me Yet' and Le Volume Courbe's reading of 'I Love The Living You', featuring contributions from Sonic Boom and Kevin Shields respectively, both illustrate the formidable aspects of Erickson's largely underrated solo work. Couple these with Black Acid's (aka Richard Fearless and friends) nine-minute excursion through 'Unforced Peace' and the closing I Break Horses bringing things back into 2010 with their interpretation of recent single 'Goodbye Sweet Dreams' and you're left looking at one of this year's most inspired compilations thus far, that acts not just as a fitting tribute to Roky Erickson, but also a dazzling showcase of the legacy his music has spawned ever since
