First thing - this film has nothing to do with the graphic novel of basically the same title. Not a bad thing, in my opinion, because there is so much backstory in that series that would be almost impossible to put in a single movie, and would be necessary to make a halfway decent film that would also be understandable to someone who hadn't read it. Now, this is a comment (somewhat expanded as things have occured to me) that i posted in the long string of comments replyi... MORE

Sunday Under Cvers kicks off early (for me) with this transcendent version of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr Bojangles".
David Bromberg spent a few years as J. J. W.'s guitar player, but he'll explain that, and more, here.
Guitar players; pay attention.

Some monsters smile, they're hip & cool and they understand. They understand bright beautiful sunny days in the south of spain, they understand their own saintly intent.Some monsters twist what's beautiful into scars that cannot heal. Their victims left alone on an island, unable to feel. Tryin' so hard to tell what's real. This troubling little character study is one of the saddest songs I know. A little morality tale of broken hearts and crippled spirits that pulls you... MORE

RIAA Radar result: On Try Me One More Time, Bromberg harkens back to the acoustic folk and blues music of his early days on the mid-’60s Greenwich Village folk scene, a period when he guided the blind gospel-blues singer Reverend Gary Davis to concerts and churches in exchange for guitar lessons. Bromberg performs two of “the Rev’s” compositions on his new CD – “I Belong to the Band” and “Trying to Get Home” – as well as songs written by Robert Johnson (“Kind Hearted Woman... MORE

I recently posted about a David Bromberg show that I enjoyed. I think Bromberg's blues straddle a lot of musical tastes. Anyway, I found this performance which was broadcast 10 days after the show that I saw. Nice to see a totally different set and banter. Here's "Big Road"

I saw David Bromberg last Friday for the first time in 33 years. He hasn't lost a thing, and though my tastes have evolved, I enjoyed watching and hearing him like jumping on a bike I hadn't ridden for a long time. It was a wonderful treat. The last time I saw him was in mid-August 1974 at the Atlantic City Steel Pier. He performed in a ballroom/gymnasium without seats. The ballroom was situated near the barrel of motorcycles. We watched the diving horse before the ... MORE

If you enjoy folk, singer/songwriters, and just plain ole good music, you'd enjoy David Bromberg. He's a broad songwriter and performer that does traditional songs like Yankee's Revenge or Send Me to The 'Lectric Chair to his own material, like I Like To Sleep Late In the Morning. Sometimes his songs are blues oriented, others have a bluegrass fingerpicking style to them, while others have whimsy or introspection to them. A lot of his albums contain live recordings on t...
