Mayer’s Picks – the Best of 2022 (So Far), the Albums

Thursday, July 07, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

Twilights by Jesper Lindell Sweden’s Lindell makes true Americana that channels the spirit of the Band, a point he emphasizes with a great cover of that group’s “Twilight”.  It’s Lindell’s own compositions and the arrangements that bring the songs to life, however, that make Twilights such a memorable experience.    How Long Will It Take Them […]

Wednesday, March 30, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

DOLLY PARTON What can be said about seeing Dolly Parton for the first time? The hits, the stories, the people weeping with joy around me – it was spectacular. And playing “9 to 5” twice – the second time so the audience could sing it – was tremendous. LEE BAINS III & THE GLORY FIRES […]

Mayer’s Playlist for Feb/Mar 2022, Part 1

Thursday, February 24, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

The Ballad of Sissy & Porter, The Whitmore Sisters (from the Red House Records release Ghost Stories) There’s a throwback quality to the Whitmore Sisters’ Ghost Stories.  Sure, sisters Eleanor and Bonnie have magical familial harmonies that recall The Everly Brothers.  It’s the songs and arrangements, however, that hearken back to a bygone era when […]
