Daniel Johnston: Chicago 2017

Daniel Johnston Chicago 2017 dBm Records Inc. What a fitting swansong.

Mavis Staples: If All I Was Was Black

Mavis Staples If All I Was Was Black Anti/Epitaph What a decade it’s been for Mavis Staples – riding on a high note ever since 2007’s We’ll Never Turn Back with a constant victory-lap of touring and this now deep collaboration with Jeff Tweedy’s Wilco. It hasn’t all been amazing, I couldn’t get too excited […]

Jeff Tweedy: Together At Last

Jeff Tweedy Together At Last Amazon Digital Services, LLC A stripped back set of band songs performed by the chief – the singer/songwriter – that’s the plan for Tweedy’s first proper solo album – and it works just fine. Very well in fact, particularly because after a lovely opening stroll through Via Chicago, its groove […]

Tweedy: One NZ Show (March, 2016)

Tweedy is the father/son duo of Jeff Tweedy and Spencer Tweedy. Jeff we know from Wilco – Spencer, from being Jeff’s son. I wasn’t at all impressed with their debut album as a duo but I’m fully into the idea of seeing them live – because the show is promising a mix of the material […]

Tweedy: Sukierae

Tweedy Sukierae Anti/Epitaph Here Jeff Tweedy of Wilco has made a double album with his son Spencer on drums. It’s so painfully long and pleased with itself they should have called it Ron Jeremy. Actually, it would make more sense, on paper maybe, if this was the new Ryan Adams album – and the self-titled […]

V/A: Boyhood [OST]

Various Artists: Boyhood: Music From The Motion Picture Nonesuch I haven’t – yet – seen Richard Linklater’s new film, Boyhood. But it sounds good, sounds like it’s worth a look anyway. Shot over 12 years it tells the story of one boy’s childhood, the same actor in that role, growing old with time, the film […]
