Monday Morning Video – Billy Joe Shaver

Monday, November 02, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

Yeah, it’s cliche to share this song to honor the memory of Billy Joe Shaver. There really isn’t a more fitting tribute as the song is as much an institution as was the man. Nobody here will ever find meBut I will always be aroundJust like the songs I leave behind meI’m gonna live forever […]

In Memoriam – John Prine

Wednesday, April 08, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

For me, it was Bruised Orange. The album had come out about the time I’d started a stint as a radio DJ, and everyone at the station had their favorite cut (mine was Fish And Whistle). As music fans did back then, we dug into the liner notes, and soon discovered an entire new world […]

Monday Morning Video – A Tough Week in Music

Monday, April 06, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

In the past week, we’ve lost Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis, and country singer-songwriter Joe Diffie, […]

Monday Morning Video – Kenny Rogers (1938 – 2020)

Monday, March 23, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

Many of us got to know Kenny Rogers through his solo hits of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, not to mention his duets with everyone from Dolly Parton to Lionel Richie. Before that, however, Rogers made some magic with the First Edition, including this classic, which came around again in 1998 when it was […]

Monday Morning Video – David Olney

Monday, January 20, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

I wish that I could tell you that I was well-versed in David Olney’s music. I’m certainly familiar with him, both via his songwriting reputation and his relentless touring and festival appearances. Olney passed away this weekend while performing at the 30A Music Festival. The outpouring of memories from the Americana community has been heart-wrenching. […]
