Peter Frampton

New album from My Morning Jacket.

Loved the music (how could you not?). The band was great, and the venue has a top-notch sound system. I thought the "drama" aspect of the production was not nearly as great as the music aspect.

"Sunny Afternoon" - The Kinks musical.

"Route"?

My initial reaction to hearing A.M. (at the time WXRT played both "Casino Queen" and "Box Full of Letters" regularly) was that it was quite good, but not nearly as great as Son Volt's Trace or The Jayhawks' Hollywood Town Hall. Being There is what hooked me for life.

Patterson Hood and Lydia Loveless

Just watched a four-episode drama on Netflix - Adolescence. Fantastic.

Going on April 6. Can't wait.

Steve Dawson and band playing the songs of Van Morrison

and Jon Wurster on drums! Wish I had seen that show in Chicago. Have a blast.

I played this one again today in memory of David Johansen, who passed yesterday at the age of 75. If you've never heard this album before (it's David's first solo album after leaving the NY Dolls) and you love ferocious vocals and guitars (and who doesn't?), do yourself a favor and check it out. R.I.P., David.

That should be a great night. Enjoy.

New album from Patterson Hood.
