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 [...]
Some of the best times in college for me was heading down to New Orleans for the Widespread Panic Halloween shows. The band would put on an epic trio of shows, dropping plenty of cover tunes and having guests sit in. 1998, the first year we went, was adequately described by my friend Megan’s ecstatic words [...]

Continuing in celebration of the 6-0 Denver Broncos here is show #3 of 6 that I will post today. Los Lobos has been posted here a couple times before. I have a few more of their shows I really want to post once I get something figured out. This Los Lobos set from the [...]
Continuing in the Los Lobos Fillmore run from 1998, here is the second night. Plenty of guests come out to jam on this one. A couple weeks ago I saw Los Lobos play a street concert in the suburbs of Chicago. They had a bunch of young kids come out to play with them. Which [...]
Los Lobos shows at the Filmore in December are an annual tradition. The shows at the Fillmore are usually pretty special, and the ones from 1998 don’t disappoint. The band released a great CD Live at Filmore which won album of the year from me in 2005. The live DVD from that Los Lobos show [...]
For a young guy growing up in Australia, going to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, was an experience. Living at The Castle a few blocks from the Aggie Theater, where great live bands came often, was quiet the lifestyle. My room mate for a while was one of the owners of the venue. [...]
Have been enjoying the latest Ryan Bingham release “Roadhouse Sun” that I picked up last week. There is not a bad song on it. Its the second record that Marc Ford produced for Ryan and Marc’s playing is all over the album too. Playing here with his band The Dead Horses, his songs have a [...]
I picked up the Ryan Bingham CD “Mescalito” after reading a review of it in Acoustic Guitar Magazine. It mentioned that Marc Ford was the producer on the record so I bought it purely on his merits. Its a great CD and Ryam Bingham has become one of my favorite songwriters. In this show [...]
Concluding the Telluride Bluegrass series, this show that is really a lot of fun. With a stripped down version of his band The Range, Bruce Horsnby throws a party with plenty of special guests. This set goes to a new level when Bruce does a few songs of his hero Leon Russell, with Leon’s old [...]
