Chugging out of Motor City, the Deadstring Brothers churn out a mix of country-soul and rhythm-'n'-blues rock 'n' roll, reminiscent of late'60s-mid-'70s Stones and the Faces, with a hint of Allman Brothers Wipe the Windows-era southern rock. And, with their third effort, Silver Mountain, the band has released the best country-blues rock album (maybe the best rock album) of the year.
Like their previous releases, The Deadstring Brothers and Starving Winter Report, their new CD is filled with memorable hooks, wonderfully loose licks, smart lyrics and catchy choruses, eddying along on dobro- and steel-threaded grooves. Consistency is the band's trademark, and there's no fill here.
The album opens with the churning AC/DC-like Ain't No Hiding Love, which has a familiar Keef-style dirty lick, with a distorted slide overlay. Singing is shared by Kurt Marschke and Marsha Marjieh and the pair kick out good and proper when they next launch into Meet Me Down at Heavy Load, a rollicking, whiskey-soaked Faces-inspired rocker, before rolling into the beautiful If You Want Me To, which could have been an Exile On Main Street out-take. Every track is a gem, but the achingly soulful title track; Queen of the Scene, with driving slide; the raw and scratchy blues of Some Kind of User; and the honky tonkin' You Look Like the Devil urge replay.
Hit the road, windows down and turn up the volume.

Well-heeled in southern heritage, Old Union's music consists of rock and Americana with old country and gospel tinges. Poignant lyrics, righteous dual guitar, monstrous R&B backbone and rollicking keys make up Old Union's familiar, yet fresh approach.

"I haven't been rocked like this for a while! This is the most impressive debut I have heard since 'Super Sound Racing' by Zeke. If you like big slabs of killer guitar and wicked cool 70's style Grand Funk meets ZZ-Top style harmonies, you gotta own this now. 'The Thorny Crown Of Rock And Roll' is by far the best release I have heard this year. These guys rock" - Rontrose of The Supersuckers.

Give a band a little success and suddenly its members are posing next to buffet tables of wine and roast pig. In the case of The Pleasure and the Greed, the excesses of the album cover art hint at things to come--the disc is louder, raunchier, and grungier than Big Wreck's 1997 debut, In Loving Memory of... (which unleashed "The Oaf" onto Billboard's Top 10). Canyon-filling electric guitars and misty-mountain acoustic textures top thunderous rhythms, while vocalist and chief songwriter Ian Thornley's hairy-chested bellowings turn even the most innocuous melody into a Viking battle cry.

Five Man Acoustical Jam was a live album released in 1990 by the band Tesla, using acoustic guitars instead of electric guitars which hard rock/heavy metal bands such as Tesla were known for. The biggest hit from the album was the song "Signs", a cover version originally from the band Five Man Electrical Band, who also had a hit with the song. Other songs included "Love Song" (a hit from their previous album The Great Radio Controversy) and covers of The Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper", Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Lodi", and The Beatles' "We Can Work It Out". It was recorded live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Trocadero Theatre.

"I'm gonna sing mostly new songs tonight" Neil Young tells the rapt Massey Hall audience, "...I've written so many new ones that I can't think of anything else to do with them other than sing 'em." He steps to the mic unadorned, distant from CSNY's rippled harmonies or Crazy Horse's yowl, hypnotically nailing 17 tracks on this unreleased 1971 solo set. You hear him tower at vocal heights on the chorus for "Old Man" (then a debuted, brand-new song) and name-check Canada on "Journey to the Past" and North Ontario on "Helpless," much to the Toronto crowd's delight. The sound is impeccable, and the closeness to Young in this spare setting exhilarates--especially his vocal quavering in the high registers, his intricate guitar work, and an overall vibe that exceeds description.

One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the rock era. Solo. Acoustic. January 19, 1971. Live At Massey Hall, the legendary concert from Neil Young, is finally officially released, and in highresolution stereo. The acclaimed Toronto performance features classics "Old Man" and, in a suite, "A Man Needs A Maid" and "Heart Of Gold" (before they were recorded for Harvest) along with some of his most popular songs ("Cowgirl In The Sand," "Ohio") as well as the most obscure ("Bad Fog Of Loneliness"). Live At Massey Hall is a newly mined rock gem.

High-wattage Rock n' Roll

A long, sometimes tortuous, and always interesting history. They have survived for 23 years a certain indifference of the public, to the harsh conditions of the recording industry and the scourge of drugs. His career was twisted to the point that, after his debut in 1989, their fans had to wait until the year 2000 in order to listen to their second album.

Second album from the band led by Hellacopters guitarist Robert "Strings" Dahlqvist together with productor Mattias Barjed (guitarist from Soundtrack of Our Lives) first set out to create something that would sound a bit like Fleetwood Mac or Rolling Stone, but which of course turned out to sound completely different, mainly inspired by Robert's and Mattias' common guitar gods from the seventies.

There are enough cowboy hats, beards and fringed jackets adorning Antler's songs that It would be easy to mistake this Boston band for one that lives in the same area code as the Allman Brothers or Skynyrd.

"Stumbling somewhere between Bob Seger and Nick Cave, ANTLER provide the perfect soundtrack for black outs, bad news, break ups and breakdowns."
- CMJ Guide

"Behind The Key -Take it down. Way Down. Time for a tear and a beer. Dim the lights and raise the lighters for Dave Unger's sensitive keyboard intro. Not to be out done, Ian's lengthy guitar solo is absolutely amazing. I personally think it's the best he's ever recorded. And that slick mother fucker did it in one take with half a Marlboro hanging outta his mouth like the stoned ghost of Joe Perry."
