SXSW 2014 — The Sounds, Part 1

Friday, April 11, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

THE HOLD STEADY While I may not be as crazy as my friend who chased the band around Austin for the band’s 7 planned shows, I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to see the Brooklyn rockers celebrate their first album in 4 years. I accompanied said friend to the front of the stage […]

Shane Sweeney’s Morning Drawings

Thursday, February 13, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

For all the magical moments spent performing, I gotta imagine that life as a touring musician has plenty of shortcomings. Set aside the extended drives and junk food sustenance, there are undoubtedly hours of monotony and boredom. In those instances it pays to have a hobby to occupy the time. Two Cow Garage’s Shane Sweeney […]

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. […]

Mayer’s Picks: Best Albums of 2013

Wednesday, December 18, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

This has been a great year in music, a feast for the ears but a challenge when it comes to picking my favorite albums for the year. A good problem to have, I suppose. Without further ado…. #1. JASON ISBELL, Southeastern The demons in these songs are no match for a songwriter of Isbell’s talent. […]

Readers’ Picks: Best Albums of 2010 (Plus a Giveaway)

Sunday, January 02, 2011 By Tom Osborne

Paul Thorn, Pimps and Preachers

Twangville readers rallied to give Paul Thorn‘s ‘Pimps and Preachers’ an overwhelming victory for album of the year. An interesting fact about the album is that Thorn himself painted the album cover. He painted the preacher to be his father and the pimp to be his uncle. You don’t have to look much further to […]

You Pick It: Springsteen’s “Atlantic City”

Monday, November 01, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

What is it about Bruce Springsteen songs? Judging from these performances, they are as much fun for the artists to perform as they are for the audience to enjoy. Here’s a collection of artists taking on the stark “Atlantic City.” I’m partial to Levon Helm — who makes the song his own. I also like […]
