I'd not paid a lick of attention to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds until 2008's Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! That album rocked. Their latest does not. It's called Push The Sky Away, and it is fantastic. Like a lot of what's going on nowadays...

The Avett Brothers used to play regularly at a little hole in the wall bar in my hometown of Augusta, Georgia when I'd moved back there long enough to plot my escape to California. But I never went and saw them. I can't imagine...

Perhaps no record is as representative of what Ellington and his Band could do live as Ellington At Newport. Here, a little historical perspective is helpful. This recording was made in 1956, well after the band's...

Word has it that Patterson Hood's latest solo record, "Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance," was born of his attempt to write a book. I, for one, would love to read a book written by Patterson Hood...

It doesn't seem like that long ago that Big Boi sat squarely atop the Hip-Hop world as one half of the inimitable OutKast. But time gets away from me, and I realize that their last vital release was almost ten years ago. Big Boi hasn't exactly been prolific in the interim...

I was stoked by my discovery of Impex Records last month when we looked at their version of "Ellington Indigos." It took all the restraint I could muster to take that one off the turntable long enough to explore this month's five records.
