In the late '60s and early '70s Harrison Kennedy helped lead the R&B; group Chairmen of the Board to the top of the charts with his golden voice. These days Kennedy's singing the blues, but on his new album, "One Dog Barkin'," you can still tell he was once one of the best soul crooners in the ...

I guess I need to talk about music with my hipper students more often because I'd never heard of Papercuts, an indie rock band from San Francisco, until a few weeks ago. I've listened to a few tracks from the group's latest album, "You Can Have What You Want," and they're great. I'm stone in ...

Blueswoman E.G. Kight steams up just about every song she records. That's certainly true on her latest album, "It's Hot in Here," which was released last year. The funky title track and "I Want You Just Cause I Want You" might make you break out in a cold sweat. Kight lets the hook set in your ...

I don't know what Django Reinhardt would have sounded like if he'd covered The Beatles, but I have a pretty good idea after hearing Biréli Lagrène's cover of "Something." Lagrène's version, found on his new album, "Gipsy Trio," starts almost as if he's playing it from a Beatles record. Though ...

After revisiting Cees Slinger's "Then and Now" this morning, a wonderful album that features Ben Webster, I went searching for YouTube videos of the late jazz pianist. I found one that also included trumpeter Saskia Laroo, trombonist Slide Hampton and saxophonist George Coleman. Strangely, ...

I don't know why Hank Shizzoe, a blues-playing roots rocker from Switzerland, called his new album "Live in Motown." It was recorded in Germany instead of Detroit and its sounds are rooted more in Memphis, Tupelo and Bakersfield than in the Motor City. No matter. "Live in Motown" mixes blues, ...

I'm trying to talk a few of my friends into accompanying me to MerleFest this spring in Wilkesboro, NC. But I'll probably attend the festival even if I have to go alone. The festival, which honors the late Merle Watson, features a killer lineup, starting with Doc and Richard Watson. Here's a ...

I sold my 1995 special edition Miata today. The little hellhound's pissed; he loved that car. I also don't think he's very happy about the fact I used the money I got from the Miata to pay for my new Gibson J-45, rosewood model. I like to think Franco doesn't like it when I play my guitar ...

I love jazz guitarist Bob DeVos' last two albums, "Playing for Keeps" and "Shifting Sands." Both feature tasteful playing from tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, organist Dan Kostelnik and drummer Steve Johns. But I find myself spinning his 2003 release, "Devos' Groove Guitar," more often, ...
