My Daughter is a 4-year-old Groupie
Children’s music artist Red Grammer performed a concert on Saturday in our neck of the woods. [Read my music review .] We’ve attended his annual concerts the past two years and own all of his children’s music. My daughter had been looking forward to seeing Red for a month and in the week preceding announced that she would make a sign to hold up at the concert. First, yes, obviously she didn’t write the words on the sign in the photo above. The sign reads: “I love Hello World and Teaching

Music review - Bob Dylan: Together Through Life (The Advance-Titan)
Throughout his career, Bob Dylan has been known to vary his style, not allowing critics to pigeonhole him within a certain genre or musical style. What started with solo acoustic performances gave way to his legendary switch to electric accompaniment, which in turn developed into the gypsy carnival of the Rolling Thunder Revue era. “Together Through Life,” Dylan’s April 28 release, is another …

The curse of Bob Dylan’s bootleg series is that you might start thinking of his official releases as first drafts. Dylan has been on a roll this past decade, staring mortality in the face and wringing memorable music from it.

Prong - Power of the Damn MiXXXer
Nine out of ten times when someone tells me that there’s a remix album on its way I run the opposite direction as fast as humanly possible. You see, I generally associate the word remix with the music found in dance clubs or the stuff of a self absorbed DJ looking to imprint his own sound into an existing piece of art. Most of the time, the remixed musical release doesn’t really offer any new dimension to the original version, so really . . . why bother? But then comes along Field General Tommy
