Elvis's versions of "Too Much Monkey Business" & "Promised Land" are both good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYW0YVQ_b_4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HR_-hsAIRA

He had apparently finished a new album dedicated to his wife that's still scheduled for release later this year. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/chuck-berrys-family-move-forward-with-planned-chuck-lp-w472845

That one's my favorite as well.

Big Thief

It hasn't even been two full months, yet it feels like an eternity since he was inaugurated. It's exhausting. He's exhausting.

Such a huge loss for the music world. Godspeed.

Nice!

I've listened to it a couple of times and think it's solid (as is every album they make). I actually feel that the title song is the weakest track. I do miss the heavy guitars that are less prominent in this release, but for a band to be as consistently good as they are while at the same time evolving over time is pretty incredible.

The new Spoon record, "Hot Thoughts." Good stuff as always from them.

What a night. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band kicked things off with a set of their own that lasted about 45-50 minutes. Really good stuff, including what I presume to be some new material with a Latin sound. I read that the band traveled to Cuba last year and that their next album will be influenced by that trip. After about a 15-minute break Neko and her band (including Kelly Hogan) hit the stage. Neko played some songs from her more country-sounding days as well as plenty of newer stuff.

Neko Case with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Preservation Hall in NOLA. This could be special.

New album, "In Spades," on May 5. Also a video for new song "Demon in Profile" and European tour dates. http://pitchfork.com/news/71759-the-afghan-whigs-announce-new-album-in-spades-share-video-for-new-track-watch/

"Shake Em On Down," a great documentary on bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell. It's currently streaming on PBS's website. Well worth 60 minutes of your time. http://www.pbs.org/video/2365929363/

That's a sweet deal for two of my favorite bands. If I was anywhere near Denver I'd be all over that like stink on a monkey!

If you're a fan of Fess, check out this album that was released last year. It's a live performance from Chicago: http://www.offbeat.com/music/professor-longhair-live-chicago-orleans-records/

That's a lot of Dr. John.

I don't know much about them. In fact, I learned about them through VC. I do like both versions of In Between. Good listening for an early spring afternoon.
