Because I love singin' cowboys, and because it's past my bedtime... I thought I'd share a couple country western lullabies with you.First, Dean Martin and Rick(y) Nelson singing "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me" from the movie Rio Bravo. Rick and Dean both put out more than one country album. Rick had real knowledge and appreciation for country music, while Dean generally seemed pretty awkward and ...

.........Johnny Cash...........The name itself carries the impossible weight of near mythic status. A half century of American countryfolk music is mapped out in the deep canyons a crags in the voice of Johnny Cash. His catalog spans the ages...& the generations...........Seeing him revitalized late in his career with the superb string of cd's under the auspices of producer extraordinaire (and...

I went to the Wal-Mart website, and ordered something. I had no choice. There is no Wal-Mart in Manhattan (or in any of the boroughs, as far as I know), and if I wanted to purchase a copy of Sugarland's 'Live On The Inside,' my only option was the store's online destination. I'm not going to editorialize about whether it's a good idea to make Wal-Mart the only place to buy 'Live On The Inside,'...

A little record label called Casa Nueva based in Boston, USA, recently put out their first release, King Wilkie Present: The Wilkie Family Singers by the acclaimed Brooklyn-based stringband King Wilkie. I'll quote the press release because as I listen again to the album now, this kind of summarises matters.. "It's a cinematic concept album, consisting of songs written and recorded by the ficti...

One of the sad facts of moving house is that neighbors will often not recognize misanthropy until it literally smashes them upside the head with the blunt force of a mostly empty gin bottle. If you are anything like me, your gin bottles are ensconced in knickknacks and baubles meant to invoke the spirit and goodwill of lords and creators; cruciform baubles of lavender scent that juxtapose poor...

For starters, I want to make it very clear: I am not on Leslie & the Badgers' payroll. I genuinely admire this Los Angeles-based band - a polyglot quintet that deftly trades in what could be dubbed Eclectic Americana. Oh, sure, Badgers guitarist Glenn Oyabe bought me a bowl of chicken noodle soup and an egg cream at Canter's deli on Fairfax last week. But that's only because I looked so enfeebl...

Fine Americana, along the lines of Mellencamp and John Prine. Click the cover to hear this CD and his others. A fellow traveler and songwriter, Brian Rung, recommended a book to me last year, The Nine Nations of North America by Joel Garreau. In the book, Garreau argues that state borders are basically irrelevant and artificial and that North American society can be better understood grouped i...

Teatro (1998)Music For Crying In Your Beer In ASouth Of The Border Tex-Mex CantinaI've got a couple of favorite Willie Nelson albums but there's something so alluring about the raw, live in the studio, laid back tex-mex feel of Teatro that sets it apart from the rest of Willie's work. Perhaps it's producer Daniel Lanois' decision to record the album in an abandoned movie theater in Mexico, or E...

This is kind of a psychedelic country song from Charlie's new CD.From Amazon:The follow-up to his 2004 Dualtone debut, "Good Times", which included the hit single "El Cerrito Place" (made the Top 10 on CMT's Top Video Countdown). Since then, Robison got divorced from his wife Emily (Dixie Chicks), so it's only natural to assume that this new record is his "divorce album", which is not altogethe...
