Monday Morning Video – Joy Oladokun

Monday, December 27, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

With all the talk about the Beatles (I still haven’t watched the documentary… yet), I thought I’d share this wonderful cover of “Blackbird” by Joy Oladokun.

Monday Morning Video: The Beatles

Monday, July 28, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

I suppose I could try to write an introduction to this video but does this video really need one? Here are the Beatles performing “Don’t Let Me Down” on the roof of Apple Records back in 1969.

MilkDrive – Waves

Wednesday, July 04, 2012 By Shawn Underwood

Daydreaming.  I had trouble getting this review of the latest release from MilkDrive, Waves, together because every time I would start writing I put the album on to play and next thing I knew I was staring out the window, mind completely lost in other thoughts.  They paint such immersive pictures it’s as if you’re […]

Monday Morning Video: Steve Earle Covers the Beatles

Monday, February 06, 2012 By Mayer Danzig

I really do believe that when this song was originally recorded that this is what Paul McCartney had in mind. Steve Earle, with the Bluegrass Dukes.

Monday Morning Video: Los Lobos

Monday, October 03, 2011 By Mayer Danzig

So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees were announced last week. Lots of interesting artists were on the list, but not the one artist that I was looking to see. That band? Los Lobos. I have to imagine that there will be a line of artists volunteering to induct the band when the […]

Mayer’s Playlist for August 2010, Part 2

Thursday, September 09, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: Pimps and Preachers, by Paul Thorn Paul Thorn is the Mark Twain of Americana. Possessing an endearing folksy charm, he fills his songs with a potent and intelligent wit. Thorn’s lyrics are typically self-depreciating yet hopeful. A fine example is “I Hope I’m Doing This Right.” After several verses of reflection […]

Mayer’s Playlist for Spring 2010, Part 2

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE SEASON: Street Songs of Love, by Alejandro Escovedo Alejandro Escovedo is living proof that some things just get better with age. Street Songs of Love rocks with abandon and rolls with purpose. “Anchor” is a fitting opener, electric guitars kicks off a rocker that, although mid-tempo, still packs a forceful punch. “If […]

Win Big: The Beatles

Tuesday, October 06, 2009 By Mayer Danzig
