Back in the Saddle Again – a Special Twangville Playlist

Wednesday, June 07, 2017 By Mayer Danzig

It’s time to get back in the playlist game. After a not-so-brief hiatus during which I opened the Twangville office in Dallas, I’m ready to get back to the playlists. And, given that the last one appeared in August of last year(!), let’s just say that I’ve got some catching up to do. To that […]

Mayer’s Playlist for September 2015

Thursday, September 24, 2015 By Mayer Danzig

Into the Deep, Galactic (from the Provogue release Into the Deep) There’s a lesson to be learned across the eleven tracks that make up Galactic’s latest release.

Mayer’s Playlist for Fall 2013, Part 2

Wednesday, December 04, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE SEASON The Death of the Self-Preservation Society, by Two Cow Garage Two Cow Garage have a well-earned reputation as road warriors who put on ferocious live performances. Their shows are always intense, sweaty and raucous, the way rock is meant to be enjoyed. What sets these guys apart, however, is the strength […]

Mayer's Playlist for May/June 2013, Part 1

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH The Low Highway, by Steve Earle The burden of Steve Earle’s legacy is mighty awesome. Since he emerged in the mid-1980’s he has established — and maintained — an incredible standard with his songwriting. His latest release continues the trend. Earle passed through Boston recently and talked about how this album […]
