If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing Jim White in a live setting – whether with big, full band arrangements in big, seated, venues or in small, dark clubs touring by himself, you know that each show is unique and special. For those of you who are fans of his recorded output but have never [...]

Ah yes, Neil in the early ’80s. An interesting, if often ignored, era in the artist’s four decade career. If you’ve read Shakey (and really, any card-carrying Neil Young fan should) you’re aware the first half of the decade was rife with random experimentation and exploration — the majority of which was considerably underwhelming (although [...]

When it comes to Americana as a genre, many of its purveyors offer a sense that they’ve lived through their collection. No matter the story form or execution, you often believe (or are plainly told) that what you’re hearing or reading or seeing has been informed by their life experiences. Up close and personal.

Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native. Off The Record gathers some of my [...]

(Long Shots, a new feature on Aquarium Drunkard, asks some of our favorite artists to interview one another. Think of it as listening in on a good conversation.) As the album’s title suggests Athens, GA’s Bloodkin are indeed back — on tour with the Drive-By Truckers — and supporting their seventh release Baby They Told [...]

Charlie Louvin is a legend. And I don’t use that term lightly. Recording alongside his late brother, Ira, The Louvin Brothers recorded some of the most vital and beautiful music of the last 60 years and was an unquestioning influence on the eventual alt-country movement. Even though Charlie has been a solo artist for over [...]
