They released me from the hospital a few days after My Morning Jacket played at The Metro Theatre in Sydney last week. It was a good thing because I really needed to be out for my Australia Day Eve BBQ and some cold ones. Obviously hydrating with VB's on a night where the venue was more like a sauna did not do my physical well being any good. But the intravenous fluids over two days have brought m

Hokum: bunk: something that on the surface appears to be true or credible but is in fact meaningless or untrue. The King Of Hokum is a man of many tales and he comes down the phone line at me sounding more American then I do. Although C.W.Stoneking was born here in Australia (from Yankee stock), I sense the eccentric personae that he has taken on is one that pervades his existence. Or at least it

The Adelaide International Guitar Festival returns to the Festival Centre in Adelaide from the 29th of November until the 7th of December 2008. Glancing over the line-up and the concerts planned, has caused my heart to race and had me reaching for the phone to book my accommodation and flights. I am locked in for the week and you should look at getting you and your guitar and your friends down for

The Old Crow Medicine Show are earning their reputation on the road and playing live. Since O.C.M.S in 2004 they have gone from strength to strength, making sure that people around the world found out what they could do with their roots-grass and fabulous singing. Big Iron World in 2006, again produced by Gillian Welch's guitar playing partner David Rawlings, was once again a success and there ...

Friends, Family, Faithful, Freebies. That pretty much sums up the crowd who showed up to hear Diesel launch his latest, Days Like These, at the Oxford Art Factory on Wednesday evening. Introduced by Michael Gudinski, Diesel took to the stage to the strains of Hank Williams, then counted in the band, and the trio of drums, bass and guitar took off for a little over an hour.I had not heard any of th

The chilly winds of August whipped around the Hordern Pavilion on this past Friday evening. But strange sights were noticed around Fox Studios as small groups of Devo-tees made their way to the structure where music was to be played. People in yellow or red jumpsuits, the ubiquitous flower-pot head gear and large numbers of band name emblazoned t-shirts were drawn to the light of the stage and the

Rich and Chris Robinson and the Black Crowe ensemble have come to Sydney and probably given us (those lucky enough to be in attendance) the best set-list during this trip to Australia. Bearded, booted and with Newcastle Brown Ales gracing the amps, the band looked relaxed. Kicking off with Movin’ On Down The Line from their latest Warpaint, up front we were shaking and dancing as you should at a
