Monday Morning Video – Andrew Duhon “No Man’s Land”

Monday, June 24, 2019 By Mayer Danzig

Andrew Duhon’s False River was one of my favorite albums from last year. He recently released this stunning video of the melancholy “No Man’s Land”, the beauty of the setting offering a gentle contrast to the song’s forlorn lyrics.

SXSW 2014 — The Sounds, Part 2

Friday, April 11, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

I was hooked, though, on their encyclopedic knowledge of American music — everything from folk to country and from blues to vintage […]
