The Avett Brothers have been slowly transforming their sound in the six years they’ve been releasing records. They’ve winnowed the best parts of their rag-tag and raucous energy and truly begun to marry it to their growing skills as songwriters. Now, on the verge of recording their first major label album for American Recordings […]

Black Session :: Studio 104 Maison de Radio France
In terms of radio sessions I can’t think of a more fitting city for Beirut’s Zach Condon to demonstrate his trans-Euro flair. The covers cut for the session are especially of note as they translate seamlessly into the Beirut world of sound. Per usual for this series, […]

Ron Wood & Keith Richards :: Sure The One You Need (Live 1974)
I’ve recently been seriously dipping into Ronnie Wood’s debut solo album I’ve Got My Own Album To Do - a cutthroat minor classic if there ever was one. More about that record later - right now, go check out this clip of […]

Yesterday we told you about who we’re planning on seeing on the first day of this year’s Newport Folk Festival. Here’s what it’s looking like we’ll be doing on day two. If you’re going, drop us a line in the comments and tell us who you’re going to see.

As we mentioned yesterday, Aquarium Drunkard will be stomping around Fort Adams State Park next month, taking in the Newport Folk Festival. Following the obvious night-show of Brian Wilson, Kate Taylor, and Willy Mason on Friday night, here’s a quick preview of who we’ll be checking out on Saturday. If you’re going, drop […]

Aquarium Drunkard is nothing if not fans of pop music’s twisting and shaking history. While some may point towards Woodstock as the most important music festival in the history of our young country, one could make a very, very strong case for the early 60’s incantations of the Newport Folk Festival. It was […]

AKA - Flesh And Fantasy, this has long been one of my favorite early ’70s Springsteen shows. Touring behind the Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle this show is loose as a goose. Keep an eye out for another Bruce show (from the same year) I also unearthed from my old CD […]

Culled from the 1982 album Night And Day, Joe Jackson’s pitch-perfect single “Steppin’ Out” has long held a perverse power over me. It’s true. Besides being my round one, go-to, Karaoke jam, I’ve also been known on many occasions to (obviously, after a few drinks) make wild and grandiose statements such […]

(Sevens, a new feature on Aquarium Drunkard, pays tribute to the art of the individual song.)
From Garth Hudson’s opening notes on the organ - on through to the songs climax - it’s immediately apparent The Band’s “Chest Fever” means business. “I know shes a tracker, any scarlet would back her. The say she’s a […]

Over the course of four years and as many albums, The Hold Steady have been given the knee-jerk title of America’s Best Bar Band, and, stylistically speaking, Stay Positive, the group’s latest release on Vagrant, will do little to change that. The usual big riffs (“Stay Positive”) and Led Zeppelin name-checks (“Joke About Jamaica,”) […]
