Carl Broemel - Lose What's Left

Carl Broemel, guitarist-steel-saxophonist for My Morning Jacket, released a solo album a while back. I cannot find the exact date or year but it was recorded when he was living in Los Angeles. I came across this album a while ago on The Musical Family Tree and it is free. My obvious fascination over My Morning Jacket and of Carl's awesome guitar playing peaked my interest. The moment I knew I loved his technique was when I was reading an interview, I think it was something for Guitar Center, with him and Mr. James and he mentioned he put a bigsby on his black Les Paul in order to pretend he was in Crazy Horse. Right away I thought that was really cool because I love Neil Young and I love Crazy Horse! Anyway, check out the download all zipped up for you or download them one by one at The Musical Family Tree.

Ryan Adams

It seems like his label may be getting annoyed with him.

Due to popular demand...


Their epic 2006 Bonnaroo show. They rage this one for around 3 hours, do a few covers and the alternate version of Dondante is worth the price of admission.

Radiohead - Scotch Mist

I did promise a Radiohead post before tomorrow and here we are. This time tomorrow I will be near St. Louis and getting ready to go to my first Radiohead concert. I have heard a lot of good things about there shows this tour and I hope they do not disappoint! On Sunday I caught their performance In The Basement on the MusicHD channel (MHD). It was sick obviously. This is them doing In Rainbows live in the studio. I hope you like!

Wilco On TV

I got these recording from a friend a few days ago. The title is deceiving because I do not think that all of these are from TV appearances but it is a great collection of songs. They do some amazing covers, I Shall Be Released and Something In The Air are fine cuts, some interviews, all sorts of shit. In the next few days my posts will probably be very Radiohead and Wilco heavy, I am going to see them back to back nights in St. Louis next week and I could not be more fucking excited.

By the way, how fucking good is A Ghost Is Born?

Ryan Adams Has Another New Blog

The old one was "hijacked" and now he has this one.

http://werewolph.tumblr.com/

To be absolutely honest I am sick of this shit and I want some fucking music out of this guy! Do not get me wrong, I love this guy but enough with the horsing around and give me a fucking studio (or live) album! And the boxset! What about the boxset?! Is it really not going to happen?

Alvin Lee & Mylon LeFevre

Around a year ago my brother-in-law told me to get the Alvin Lee album On The Road To Freedom. I picked it up a used record shop and gave it a listen and really enjoyed it. They cover many different types of music on this album from rock to country to blues and they do a damn fine job of it too. Alvin Lee is a great guitarist, I love his fast paced shredding on the title track and that fat tone he gets on Fallen Angel. This is a dip into the classics and anybody that digs CSN(Y), Neil or The Allman Brothers should appreciate this. Enjoy
