This just popped into my inbox from the publicist of Tom Waits. Apparently it’s going to appear on tomwaits.com soon but it’s not there now and I want to get it out as fast as I can, so I’m reprinting it. If that’s an issue I’ll take it down if asked, but I […]

An Interview With Jamshied Sharifi About His Album One
April 14th, 2008 by scoop · No Comments
World music, in my experience, is very hit and miss. I’ve come across some music, mostly through the label of Peter Gabriel, that I really like. But I’ve also heard some that just rubbed me the wrong way no matter how many chances I give it.
I thought about those experiences when I received a copy […]

April 7th, 2008 by scoop · No Comments
Imagine a songwriter who takes the best parts of Fountains of Wayne – great catchy hummable power pop songs – but instead of writing about adult relationship woes his focus is on the joys and concerns of children. The topics range from playing baseball to the first day of school to seeing how his parents […]

Interview With Singer Justin Townes Earle
March 31st, 2008 by scoop · No Comments
When BloodShot Records sent me a copy of the debut album by Justin Townes Earle, the son of songwriter Steve Earle, I quickly requested an interview with him. While the interview was shorter than I would have liked - he being a man of few words - the album itself is damn fine stuff.

I have written before about how I love doing interviews with the Putumayo Kids label because they help me learn about other cultures and musical genres.
In the past I have learned about music and cultures from Asia, Brazil and other places. This time I’m learning about Hawaii from the album Hawaiian Playground. While most of […]

During a break between tours the leaders of Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, who would later go on in different directions as Wilco and Son Volt, started Coffee Creek, a country cover band.
