Mayer’s Playlist for Fall 2021

Thursday, October 21, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

What’s the Matter, James McMurtry (from the New West Records release The Horses and the Hounds) Even in the shittiest of years – and the past two years have been beauts – new music from James McMurtry is always a bright spot.  In fact, given the songwriter’s infrequent album releases –  The Horses and the Hounds  is […]

Best of 2013 – Chip

Thursday, January 09, 2014 By Chip Frazier

Here is my Top Ten for 2013: Feel free to cast stones and insults if you disagree. 1. Patty Griffin American Kid The combination of Griffin’s vocal elegance along with Luther and Cody Dickinson’s backup, made this album stand above all others. The ethereal duet with Robert Plant was also a high impact song. 2. […]
