Newport Folk Festival :: Sunday Recap
Artists mentioned:With the sun taking its seat in the top of the sky alongside a few billowing clouds left over from yesterday’s rainstorms, Day Three of the 2008 Newport Folk Festival kicked off in a swirl of cracking mud and beating heat, with enough hype and excitement surrounding today’s performances to...(read full post)

Newport Folk Festival :: Saturday Recap
Artists mentioned:Ghosts run deep in Newport. The town’s cobbly streets call back to colonial times and the grounds of the Newport Folk Festival, AD’s reason for being here, are situated around historic Fort Adams, which was built in 1824 and was at its time the most complex military fortification in the...(read full post)

Springsteen :: Giants Stadium, 7.28.08
Artists mentioned:AD’s Marty Garner, an unrepentant Bruuuuuce fanatic, having left L.A. for the Summer, made his way east to New Jersey to catch Bruce and E Street Band at Giants Stadium earlier this week. Here’s how it went down. ++++++++++++ I am not from New Jersey. I do have a friend...(read full post)

Jim Ford :: Harlan County (1969)
Artists mentioned:Recently, sitting in a dark booth of a non-descript bar in a non-descript portion of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, I was listening to the unashamed (and awesome) time-traveling selection of Los Angeles DJ Dr. Who (spins on Thursday nights at The Bar in Hollywood and deejays the soul-funk night...(read full post)

The Walkmen :: In The New Year (c/o You & Me)
Artists mentioned:Alright, so 2006’s A Hundred Miles Off was…well, a bit off; and the follow-up Pussy Cats, a practically note for note rendition of Harry Nilsson’s rasp-fest was, while good, just that (more often than not making me want to throw on the original and be done with it). But forget...(read full post)

Off The Record :: Human Highway (Toronto)
Artists mentioned:Off The Record is a recurring feature, here on the Drunkard, that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native. Off The...(read full post)

Chris Bell :: I Am The Cosmos
Artists mentioned:This post actually began as a Sevens piece reflecting on Chris Bell’s single “I Am The Cosmos” - that is until I realized we had never discussed the album proper on AD in the past. For shame. For the non Big Star fanatics in the house, Chris Bell was Alex...(read full post)

James Jackson Toth :: Waiting In Vain
Artists mentioned:Letting go of the Wooden Wand handle (at least for now), James Jackson Toth’s solo debut, Waiting In Vain, steers clear of the psychedelic folk jams of his former outfit in favor of fairly straight-ahead, soul-infused, roots rock. The trick is that in doing so, Toth has crafted his best,...(read full post)

Liz Phair :: The Juvenilia EP (1995)
Artists mentioned:I truly loved Liz Phair’s early stuff, and the recent ATO reissue of her Matador lo-fi debut - the still-excellent Exile In Guyville - only reinforced my appreciation. While I can’t necessarily speak to the quality of her last few albums (from the little I heard, they didn’t sound all...(read full post)

J. Tillman :: Now Available Via Autumn Tone
Artists mentioned:Since 2004, (Fleet Foxes) J. Tillman has quietly been releasing records, some of limited quantity, some mostly available in Europe, but for the most part, unheard. The borderline-alienating starkness and well lived-in narratives of his first two records, “I Will Return” and “Long May You Run, J. Tillman” (released in...(read full post)

Roy Buchanan :: Live Stock (Town Hall, NYC 1974)
Artists mentioned:I am hesitant to refer to anyone in their field of study as “an unknown,” - no matter if it’s in reference to a painter, director, or guitarist. But in many circles, when the late Roy Buchanan’s name is dropped, he is reverently referred to as just such: one of...(read full post)
