A Celebration of Life, Love and Ambition that Outlasts Obstacles
I’ve been enjoying the latest Los Lobos release “Tin Can Trust” quiet a bit. It’s got everything you could want in a new record from American’s most versatile rock band. A Cesar ballad, a power three guitar attack track, some great Hidalgo accordion, and some near perfect Hidalgo guitar solo’s. I love the groove they [...]
Robbie pointed out that The Allman Brothers Band show on March 12th at the Beacon this year will be the 40 year anniversary of when At Fillmore East was recorded. Obviously the boys are planning something very compelling for that date and also the whole Beacon run. That sold out show will be something, and [...]
For the perfect show to resurrect this blog I had to go with the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan. With his incredible command of the electric guitar he resurrected blues music and brought it to the people. He also came through a serious drug addiction to go on and play some of his best music. Some of which is [...]
Since it is the blogs birthday I thought it would be appropriate to go to the man that inspired its beginning, Derek Trucks. This is the new band I mentioned earlier that Derek was forming. Alas the lineup, listed below, is a little different from the one I envisioned. I am pretty fired up that [...]
My heart goes out to the people in Haiti after such an awful tragedy. This is a crazy messed up world that we live in. It’s hard to watch on the tele, I can’t imagine what it must be like to go through that. I urge you to do what ever you can to help [...]
2009 was a great year for The Derek Trucks Band. They released the album Already Free, recorded in Derek’s home studio, and played some smoking shows. In April I saw them play at The Park West in Chicago and it inspired me to start this blog. In 2010 the band is taking a hiatus from [...]
This show is for one of my Twitter buddies @hinterspelunk who is a huge Jack Pearson fan. I think he might have went to this show. If you are on Twitter and I am not following you hit me up @ozzybeef so we can connect there. These two guys right here are both incredible musicians. [...]
Got a request from Ric for some Chris Smither ages ago and it’s taken a while but here it is. I’m excited for his new record Time Stands Still that comes out at the end of the month. I’ve always loved Doc Watson’s blues / folk finger-picking and someone told me to look up [...]
Here is the opening night of the celebrated 40th Anniversary Allman Brothers Band run at the Beacon Theater. This show features appearances from the legendary blues man Taj Mahal during the first set and Levon Helm, drummer for The Band, in the second set. As Taj comes on the stage Greg mentions the Allman Brothers [...]
