Following their triumphant on-stage reunion to help close down the legendary New Jersey club, Maxwell’s, The Bongos released the long shelved Phantom Train album.  The album was recorded in the mid-80s but never released as the band splintered into other musical directions (including Richard Barone’s masterful solo records).  We feature the title track today, and it really captures an amazing band at a creative peak.

The title of the new Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings album is Give the People What They Want – so apparently the people want instant classic soul music for the 21st Century. 

Marla Mase‘s music can be challenging – as it combines spoken word and powerful alternative rock with meaningful lyrics and outstanding production.  Whatever, this song just flat out rocks.

How about a classic Springsteen cover by Glen Hansard (The Frames, The Swell Season) which also features Eddie Vedder and Jake Clemons – who happens to be the nephew of late E Street Band Saxophonist Clarence Clemons. We can do that.

We featured a song from Frightened Rabbit’s 2013 album, Pedestrian Verse back shortly after the album was released.  Since then, I’ve been reading about the band all over the internet.  Coincidence?  You decide.  Regardless, we have another track from that album today.

Jordan Klassen is from Canada. He released his latest album Repentance back in September.  Today, we have the first single from that album.

Rosanne Cash just released a new album which marks a homecoming of sorts to her native southland.  Today, we have her version of a song written by her father, which comes off of one of the classic albums she made before moving up north –  King’s Record Shop.

Live From Austin TX: Lucinda Williams A gifted songwriter and fiercely uncompromising artist, Lucinda Williams was beginning to earn a degree of commercial acceptance comparable to the critical acclaim she’d been receiving for years in 1998 with the release of her Grammy-winning album Car Whe

X (The Band) – The Unheard Music X was one of the finest and most widely acclaimed American rock bands of the 1980s. Rising out of the Los Angeles punk rock scene, X merged punk, rockabilly, blues, and country flavors into a revved-up sound that at once celebrated and deconstructed American pop culture, and the group’s lyrics — written by singer Exene Cervenka and bassist/vocalist John Doe — used beat-influenced poetry to examine life along the margins in one of America’s most privileged cities. X became a major draw in their hometown, and their first two independently released albums, Los Angeles and Wild Gift, each managed the then-remarkable feat of selling over 50,000 copies each. However, as the group’s popularity steadily grew and they began to expand the boundaries of the underground music community, the band found themselves faced with the question of how to bring their sound to the mass audience without compromising their music (or their principles) in the process. The Unheard Music is a documentary that combines live footage of the band and interviews with the four members (as well as their friends and families) with surreal music videos and montages of newsreel footage and vintage television commercials which help to illustrate X’s uphill struggle against the music industry. The year The Unheard Music was released, guitarist and founding member Billy Zoom left the band, and X soldiered on with guitarist Tony Gilkyson before calling it a day in 1988. However, the group briefly reunited with Gilkyson in 1993, recording two albums (one studio, one live), and in 1998, Billy Zoom made his long-awaited return to X’s lineup for a series of enthusiastically received live dates. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
