Crooked Still - 2010 New Album Some Strange Country

Crooked Still continue to redefine the parameters of bluegrass and progressive folk with their unique take on the old-time music they love. The tunes on Some Strange Country are mostly traditional, but the band infuses them with a subtle bluegrass virtuosity, chamber music attitude, and solos that often sound like they were borrowed from classical music.

Melody Gardot pays Tribute to Tim Burton

Multi-platinum, award winning singer/songwriter Melody Gardot performed at the Opening Ceremony of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival on May 12th at the Palais des Festivals. Her spectacular performance included a medley of songs from the blockbuster films Alice In Wonderland, A Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice in honour of their director Tim Burton. The Academy Award nominee is this year's President of the Jury at the Festival.

Melody said of the experience, "Being invited to perform at the festival, especially for Tim Burton, is a huge thrill for me as I have been a major fan of Burton's films for years! I grew up watching his films and find his mind to be incredibly creative. His use of light, color and the ability to dream while awake mirrors the way I feel about music."

Sugarland on Idol

Ahhhh.... Jennifer Nettles you rock my world! While I'm a little worn out on hearing Stuck Like Glue sung on every award show and TV Appearance I'm very happy with the attention they're getting in regards to their live shows/performances. Go Sugarland Go!!!

Perhaps a turning point, perhaps not

I've had the urge to blog again recently. I'm not sure how I want it to go. Sure I want people to read it and thus spark a conversation in regards to music... but I'm just not sure how I want to go about it. Do I want to use my usual sarcastic and dark sense of humor? Or do I want to keep it light and just list the basics like I have been. Such choices... such choices...

I sit here in my kitchen, watching my dachshund chase birds his short little legs carrying him much faster than one can believe. The cloud of black and grey winged interlopers explode into the sky in a flurry of movement. Only to settle down quickly once he passes by. They know he's all bark and no bite. The new Adele plays in the background. A great backing soundtrack for a relaxing afternoon. Full of heartache, a touch of anger and a lot pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and getting things done. I hated her first. Anyone who's asked me knew that right off the back. It was a bad album. Every song sounded exactly the same to me. This one though... genius and amazing production too. Slick but still "raw" that's hard to do.

So while I ponder things about this blog... I leave you to check her out.

New Loves

Currently in love with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Their early stuff is AMAZING. The new album is great and I can see it launching them to the top if marketed correctly.


Bettye LaVette's new album Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook is stellar, not a single song on the album I'd skip.

Re-awoke my MIKA love due to his new song "Kickass (We Are Young)" from the Kickass soundtrack, cute music video to go with it as well!! It made me bust out The Boy Who Knew Too Much as when it first came out I liked it but was in a blues mood and so now I'm playing the heck out of it.

Craving some new Ashley Monroe, it's been a while since she's done a song update but my recording of her Opry show is getting me through temporarily.

That's about all I got in me for an update at this time. I'll start trying to update more now that I have more free time on my hands.

Paloma Faith

I'm loving this girl's sound and her bonus tracks!
