Johnny Cash's America CD/DVD
Since his passing in 2003, many books and films have taken a look at Johnny Cash's life and his place in history. The latest of these efforts is "Johnny Cash's America," a feature-length documentary from filmmakers Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon. We see the evolution of Johnny Cash as both a man and an artist. Although the film touches on many different phases of Cash's life and his historic career in music, it does not dig too deeply into specific details of any of »»» |
At Folsom Prison: Legacy Edition
Throughout Johnny Cash's long and storied career in country music, there may not have been a more important date than Jan. 13, 1968 - the day he performed for the inmates at California's Folsom State Prison and recorded his monumental live LP, "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison." To mark the 40th anniversary of that historic performance, Columbia/Legacy mined the Cash archives to a two-CD/DVD set that gives the most complete perspective on the day's events ever presented. »»» |
The Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1978 DVD
The 1978 Johnny Cash Christmas Special took place in Los Angeles, not his usual Nashville digs. Even so, Cash can't be accused of going Hollywood. Granted, comedic guest Steve Martin didn't have to travel far to get there, and songwriter Kris Kristofferson was becoming better known as a movie star by that time.
This show nevertheless feels Nashville-y. Kristofferson and (then) wife Rita Coolidge duet with June and John on Christmas Time's A-Comin', and Kris and John pair »»» |
Editorial: American Idol's Carrie Underwood can sing –
If anyone saw the Super Bowl – what a great great game that was – they would have heard American Idol winner and country superstar Carrie Underwood sing the National Anthem. Underwood did with her voice what Kelly Clarkson did last week with her written words – give it to Scott Borchetta, the head of Big Machine Records,, who tried defending Taylor Swift by knocking American Idol performers. »»»
Concert Review: McBride, Adkins shine sometimes –
As Martina McBride pointed out, the pairing of the country singer with Trace Adkins on their current jaunt was surprising. After all, she's of diva-quality voice, petite, non-controversial unless you call singing songs that empower women controversial. Adkins, on the other hand, has not been afraid to speak his mind with a kick butt attitude.... »»»
Concert Review: Eilen Jewell wears her musical hats well –
Eilen Jewell wears a lot of musical hats. The Idaho native, who now lives in Boston, fronts the Eilen (ee-lin) Jewell Band, a pretty much traditional country band. She's a member the Sacred Shakers, an octet doing gospel country with a country beat. And she has yet another project, Butcher Holler, covering Loretta Lynn songs.... »»»

Blue Highway's banjo player Jason Burleson acknowledges that their 1995 debut album "It's A Long, Long Road" turned out to be prophetic. It has been quite a journey for the Tennessee-based band that has become one of the "gold standards" of bluegrass, with 8 more "signpost" albums along the way, the latest being their newly-released 15th Anniversary collection on Rounder, "Some Day."... »»»
Elvis Aron Presley, had he not collapsed face first into a shag carpet in his Graceland bathroom on Aug. 16, 1977, would have been 75-years-old Friday. Yet, somehow, his birthday seems all the more important because he is not actually here while others feast at his table. Graceland - a greater cultural icon and more milkable cash cow than even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - is being remodeled for future generations to come, gawk and breathe in a few scant molecules of the King's essence. Do the new overseers really care about Elvis?... »»»
Here it is the top 30 for 2009. This isn't authoritative in case you thought otherwise. It's just one man's opinion about his favorite CDs of the year, which seemed a cut above everything else. It was incredibly hard figuring out a number one CD for the year between the Avett Brothers, Brad Paisley and George Strait. All three were great albums from different perspectives of country and roots music, and at any one time over the past few days, each was my favorite. Come back in a few days, and who knows? Maybe the order will change.... »»»
Haywire
There are two versions of Josh Turner's fourth CD - standard and deluxe. The deluxe has the same 11 tracks as the standard, plus (among other goodies) live versions of previously released songs Long Black Train and Your Man . But don't spend more money than you have to; if it's redundancy you're looking for, there's plenty to be had on the standard version. »»» |
