Wilco (The Album) Released Today
Wilco (The Album) is available today. For me, it’s one of the best albums of the year. I can’t really call this album a grower, because I was pretty attached to it from first listen, but I can say that the more time I spend with it, the more the album continues to [...]

Video: Neil Young + Paul McCartney ‘A Day in the Life’
Paul McCartney jumped on stage with Neil Young last night to guest on vocals during “A Day In The Life.” Pretty great stuff, wish Neil would have turned over vocals to Macca completely, but I’m not gonna complain.

As temperatures begin to rise, The Terrace becomes the destination in Madison for live music, meet ups, hook ups, and an all-around good times. The musical offerings this year have been an eclectic grab bag, combining many genres, and mixing the old and new. Great stuff. Last night, Milwaukee’s own Paul Cebar [...]
Tweedy/Bennett :: True Love Will Find You In The End
It’s still hard to believe that Jay Bennett’s gone. In the month since his passing, I’ve been on a regular diet of both his solo work as well as his immeasurable contributions to my favorite band. Lately, I’ve been playing Jeff Tweedy & Jay Bennett’s take on Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find [...]

Yim Yames to Release EP of George Harrison Covers
This is both unexpected and totally awesome. My Morning Jacket’s Jim James (aka Yim Yames) covered six of the late George Harrison’s tunes shortly after his passing. Those tracks are now being released as a Tribute To EP, which will be released on August 4th on ATO. You can download “Behind That [...]

Those Darlins
I have to thank Ryan at WMSE for introducing me to Those Darlins, who release their self-titled album today. Since introduction, it’s been in heavy rotation. Hailing from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, this trio combines the greatness of Wanda Jackson and Patsy Cline in a present day package. These gals continue the lineage of [...]

The Low Anthem’s recently re-released Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is one of my favorite records of the year. Today, make Daytrotter your first stop for a four-song MP3 session including a previously unreleased version of “Don’t Let Nobody Turn You ‘Round” which is “quite an old gospel number, and an instructional song.”
