T-Bone Burnett & Jay Bellerose & Keefus Ciancia: The Invisible Light – Acoustic Space (Instrumentals)

T-Bone Burnett & Jay Bellerose & Keefus Ciancia    The Invisible Light: Acoustic Space (Instrumentals)   Verve Label Group Earlier this year T-Bone Burnett, along with master drummer Jay Bellerose and keyboard-wizard Keefus Ciancia released one of my favourite records – a favourite for this year and maybe for all time; an apocalyptic tone-poem of spoken-word over beautiful, […]

RNZ Reviews: August (2) 2019

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now four years into  it or so… This […]

T-Bone Burnett & Jay Bellerose & Keefus Ciancia: The Invisible Light – Acoustic Space 

T-Bone Burnett & Jay Bellerose & Keefus Ciancia  The Invisible Light: Acoustic Space  Verve Label Group  T-Bone Burnett has been many things for many people – enabler of careers, creator of dreamscapes and perfect soundtrack moments, producer of classic albums by a wide range of artists across the spectrum, session gunslinger and buried somewhere in and around all of that […]

The State of Play: Fame Goes, Music Remains…

“We live in an age of music for people who don’t like music. The record industry discovered some time ago that there aren’t that many people who actually like music. For a lot of people, music’s annoying, or at the very least they don’t need it. They discovered if they could sell music to a […]

Rhiannon Giddens: Tomorrow Is My Turn

Rhiannon Giddens Tomorrow Is My Turn Nonesuch On first listen it took me until track four – a version of Patsy Cline’s She’s Got You – to realise that Rhiannon Giddens was not the writer, only the singer. I say only – such is the way she makes these songs her own. Her voice (both […]

The New Basement Tapes: Lost on the River

Various Artists: The New Basement Tapes: Lost on the River Electromagnetic Recordings/Harvest Records You can always see the appeal of such projects, even if only in theory.  Here a “supergroup” has been put together, charged with creating the song-settings for previously unheard/leftover Bob Dylan lyrics. But with Dylan’s Bootleg series doing the better job of […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1062

V/A, Attack of The Killer B’s, Vol.1  (1983) I saw this in the “rare & interesting” section of the store – and spotted Marshaw Crenshaw at the top – You’re My Favourite Waste of Time is a favourite. Then the list of names that carried it on: Pretenders, The Blasters, Ramones, John Hiatt, Roxy Music, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1156

T-Bone Burnett, Trap Door (1982) Despite owning this for quite a while – I picked it up one day, having enjoyed so much of the work T-Bone Burnett has offered as soundtrack composer and compiler, as producer and background player – I can’t say I was overly taken with this album (well, it’s an EP, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1406

Marshall Crenshaw, Downtown (1985) I still believe in great music-writing – just as much as I believe in great music. It was great music-writing that got me hooked on Marshall Crenshaw; just one of many…I guess he’s the sort of artist that lends himself to the nerd’s appreciation; the music-scribe convinced they’re changing the world […]
