  • Young Widows: IN AND OUT OF YOUTH AND LIGHTNESS

    Posted 4/26/2011 by cal

    Young Widows’ previous album, Old Wounds, contained a song called “The Guitar”, in which Evan Patterson sang, “Got addicted at an early age.”  It seemed like a mission statement at the time.  Now on his band’s third album, Patterson’s addiction has manifested in a signature sound, something he was still working out on 2006’s Settle Down City but that he defined on Old Wounds, and now he’s reveling in it.  In And Out Of Youth And Lightness suggests that some day we might refer to Patterson as one of those guitarists you can't mistake for anyone else.

  • Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: BEAT THE DEVIL'S TATTOO

    Posted 12/10/2010 by cal
    You would’ve been forced to call this music indie rock or garage rock or maybe even grunge ten years ago, but nowadays there is no underground, and regardless of sales or airplay, this is pop music.  Damn good pop music.  “Conscience Killer or “Mama Taught Me Better” are songs Stone Temple Pilots would’ve been thrilled to come up with around the Tiny Music era (that’s a compliment, dammit!).  If you disregard the lyrics, you could almost see “Sweet Feeling” or “The Toll” being a bonus track on one of the Use Your Illusion albums (sung by Izzy, obviously).  So why is this not on the radio?  Maybe because it’s not the 90s any more.
