Maffitt/Davies was a short lived duo who released one album via Capitol Records in 1968. Judging by the cover you’d expect psychedelic fireworks but The Rise and Fall of Honesty is really an Ameriana folk-rock record. This is another good one that never saw release in the CD era. I found a vinyl copy in [...]
Warren Zevon doing Leonard Cohen…the old masters at work. While the two auteurs approach to their craft is obviously different, Cohen and Zevon were far from diametric; working the same seam, exorcising tales of the human condition — not to mention their own demons — through song.

Yup, kids, that’s Charles Bradley covering Nirvana’s “Stay Away.” To say I had reservations about this pairing would be an understatement, thankfully my friend Matt would have none of it and threw it on a couple of weeks back while playing records at his house one night. In the hands of Bradley and the Menahan [...]
New track unveiled today from Real Estate, a band whose music has only grown in my estimation over the past few years. “Green Aisles” is culled from the band’s forthcoming album, Days, out October 18th via Domino Records.
