“Knock My Teeth Out, Make Way For The Gold…” — Boss Hog, ‘I Dig You’
In the early-mid ’90s, while I was knee deep into the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, this “side project” by Spencer and his wife Christina Martinez was a god send. It called itself Boss Hog, and was a mixture of the […]

4-5 weeks ago, out of (seemingly) nowhere, I received The Great Outdoors new album Food, Booze & Entertainment. Apparently Songs:Illinois did as well (and was similarly impressed). Released early spring via the Canadian label DDG Records, the album/book combo has been an unexpected treat over the past month. This is rugged folk I […]

Bluesy, languid and slow, Gregg Allman’s 1973 solo debut, Laid Back, comes off exactly as its title infers. Recorded after the deaths of his brother, Duane, and the Allman Brothers bassist, Berry Oakley, Laid Back finds Gregg stretching out and easing into swampy, country blues, soul, R&B and cover material (most notably the Jackson Browne […]

“I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, ‘Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it.’” — Harry Nilsson
There was no way […]

Sub Pop has just recently made the title track off the new Iron & Wine single, Boy With A Coin, available for download. As a certified Iron & Wine freak, I have been talking this thing up to anyone who will listen the past couple of weeks, so I’m glad I can (legally) post […]

“Harry was a big bunny….with very sharp teeth.” — Paul Williams (songwriter & friend)
Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994) — Over this past weekend I had the opportunity to check out a screening of the new Harry Nilsson documentary Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin’ About […]

Spoon brought the heat last night to their “secret” show at the Little Radio warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. Literally. Two steps inside the brick-walled building, and the temperature rose a good 25 degrees. Nevertheless, the at capacity crowd swilled Dewars and listened to special guest, John Vanderslice, perform material […]

Heads Up: We have something very exciting in the works with Trojan Records in correlation with their 40th anniversary. Details to come, but the long and short of it is that Drunkard readers will have the opportunity to win classic reggae and dub releases from the vast Trojan catalog. As you’re […]

Memphis TN’s Harlan T. Bobo has a new album out later this month (July 17th); it’s called I’m Your Man, continuing where the excellent Too Much Love left off. Part of Harlan’s draw, as an artist, has been the mystery surrounding him and his work. Having said that, listen to the interview (below) he did […]
