Bobby Long – Live at 3rd and Lindsley
On November 17, 3rd and Lindsley welcomed Bobby Long – this time without his band. As much as I enjoy hearing him play with a full band, I became acquainted with his music when it was just Bobby and a guitar, so there’s a special place in my heart for his acoustic sound. Bobby Long’s [...]

Bachman-Turner Overdrive “Not Fragile” Remastered by Audio Fidelity
I’m often told that I’m “too young” to enjoy a certain type of music – specifically anything that was released before 1990. After all, what would a 33-year old know about the Beatles, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, and many other classic bands that shaped the music I’m “supposed” to like? Well, I can tell you [...]

The Deer Tick men let you know what this album about right from the start: “We’re full grown men; we act like kids.” And the shouting background choral affirms: the [...]
Good Times with Swear and Shake – Interview
When New York band Swear and Shake visited Nashville at the end of September, I got a chance to talk with them in between a photo shoot with MD Laidlaw and their show at the Music City Bar and Grill. In thirty minutes, we covered a lot of ground, during which I discovered the origin [...]
Interview with Matt Duke (and Sometimes Jay Nash)
On September 26, two-thirds of TFDI performed at 3rd and Lindsley. Matt Duke was kind enough to speak with me before the show, and Jay Nash was kind enough to join on occasion.

The Backing Singer by Bobby Long – An EP Review
I’ve been listening to anything Bobby Long has to offer since I picked up my copy of Dirty Pond Songs at his first show here in Nashville three years ago. Over the years, he has proven to be prolific and exceptionally profound, but his latest offering, The Backing Singer, goes above anything he’s ever done [...]

Words with Buffalo Clover

Little John the Conqueror: An Interview with The Reverend John DeLore
Back in August, with Hurricane Irene bearing down on NYC and New England, Brooklyn singer/songwriter The Reverend John DeLore tweaked the lyrics to the old Leadbelly classic, “Goodnight Irene,” giving it a timely Gotham City theme, a musical plea to spare the island metropolis. DeLore recorded a solo acoustic version around 3pm on August 28, [...]

Beyond The Music: Mark Lennon – “California Calling”
North Carolina native (and current L.A. resident) Mark Lennon is the unassuming, easygoing guy next door. That’s what I enjoyed about his debut EP, Down the Mountain (2009, Vagabonds Tune) — it was like sitting on a wide and comfortable front porch, drinking ice cold beer and listening to a friend play some solid, honest [...]
