Mayer’s Playlist for Oct/Nov 2011, Part 2

Tuesday, December 06, 2011 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH: Long Live All of Us, by Glossary Glossary have always had a reputation as a scrappy rock band from Murfreesboro, TN. While their latest doesn’t abandon the past, the band has injected a healthy dose of southern soul into the mix. And, man, does it sound good. Opener “Trouble Won’t Always […]

Mayer’s Picks: The Best of 2011, So Far (The Songs)

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 By Mayer Danzig

Stacy C’Mon, Maxim Ludwig & the Santa Fe Seven This song has held a permanent place on my music rotation since I first saw Ludwig and crew light up an afternoon crowd with it at SXSW. It’s simply impossible to not get caught up in the sheer enthusiasm of the “na na na” chorus. Audio […]

Mayer’s Playlist from February 2011

Monday, February 28, 2011 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH: Blessed, by Lucinda Williams Ah, Lucinda, you lost me a bit with your last couple of releases. Not that I can hold it against you. Car Wheels and some of the earlier works set the bar so high that it would be hard to imagine being able to sustain that momentum. […]

Mayer’s Playlist for October/November 2010, Part 2

Tuesday, November 30, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: Victims, Enemies, & Old Friends, by Doc Dailey and Magnolia Devil A strong Southern accent imbues Muscle Shouls musician Doc Dailey’s voice and music. His songs continue a rich Southern storytelling tradition, filled with characters struggling with the hands that they’ve been dealt. In album opener “Prove Me Wrong” Dailey strives […]
