    Issue 142 AUGUST 2ND, 2021 Is there a reader among us who doesn’t dig ZZ Top? We mourn the passing of Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill (72), bassist, vocalist and keyboardist for the tres hombres. Blending blues, boogie, bone-crushing rock, born-for-MTV visuals, humor and outrageousness – they once took a passel of live animals on stage as part of their 1976 – 1977 Worldwide Texas Tour – Hill, drummer Frank Beard and guitarist Billy F. Gibbons have scorched stages worldwide. As a friend said, “it’s amazing how just three guys could make that much sound.” Rest in peace, Mr. Hill. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gets inspired by the music of Renaissance composer William Byrd, and understands The Animals. Wayne Robins reviews Native Sons, the superb new album from Los Lobos. Ray Chelstowski interviews The Immediate Family, featuring studio legends Waddy Wachtel, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel and others, in an exclusive video interview.

  • Legendariska Los Lobos Åter Till Gävle Konserthus
    Los Lobos 2018-08-28 13:17 CEST Legendariska Los Lobos åter till Gävle Konserthus I april 2007 spelade Los Lobos för en euforisk publik i ett knökfullt Gävle Konserthus, för övrigt den enda konserten i Sverige. Den 1 september kommer Los Lobos tillbaka till Gävle för en ny konsert. Med sin sköna mix av rockabilly, latin, jazz och blues blandat med sitt mexikanska arv har Los Lobos mutat in sitt eget musikaliska område i över 40 år. Los Lobos bildades 1973 som Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles och är hos den breda massan antagligen mest kända för filmmusiken till ”La Bamba”, historien om rock’n’roll-stjärnans Ritchie Valens korta liv. Men de är så mycket mer än så. De har sina rötter i mexikansk musik men blandar upp den med rockabilly, latin, jazz, soul och blues. Genom åren har de släppt ett tjugotal studioalbum och valdes 2015 in i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Senaste plattan Gates of Gold celebrerar immigranternas Amerika och låtarna handlar om ögonblick ur bandmedlemmarnas liv och vilka erfarenheter och val livet bjuder. Hela tiden nyfikna och aktuella har de skannat av och speglat sin samtid. Med rötterna i stadsdelen East LA är Los Lobos självklara företrädare för ”Nuevo Latino” där de blandar det mesta av den mixade kulturen som Los Angeles är byggd kring till en musikalisk gryta av rock, blues, country, tex-mex, r&b, spansk och mexikansk folkmusik. Med sin särpräglade ”Nuevo Latino” har de kommit att bli ett av musikvärlden viktigaste band. Den 1 september kommer Los Lobos till Gävle Konserthus! Los Lobos, som betyder ”vargarna”, består än idag av samma medlemmar som varit med sedan starten: Louie Perez – trummor, gitarr, slagverk, sång Steve Berlin – saxofon, slagverk, flöjt, midsax, munspel, melodika Cesar Rosas – sång, gitarr, mandolin Conrad Lozano – bas, guitarrón, sång David Hidalgo – sång, gitarr, dragspel, slagverk, bas, keyboard, melodika, trummor, violin, banjo Enrique ”Bugs” Gonzalez – trummor/slagverk Sedan invigningen 1998 har Gävle Konserthus varit den naturliga arenan i Gävle för Musik, Mat och Möten.

  • Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1St Stop in Rochester
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact Jeffrey Springut (585) 473-4482 [email protected] Photos/Videos/Releases RochesterEvents.com/press Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels Of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1st Stop In Rochester Rochester, NY. Rochester Events is thrilled to announce Tedeschi Trucks Band Wheels Of Soul 2016 Summer Tour live at the Highland Bowl Friday, July 8th 2016. Gates Open at 6:00PM. Show starts at 7:00PM. Tedeschi Trucks Band brings their wildly praised Wheels of Soul tour back on the road this summer, adding Los Lobos and North Mississippi Allstars to their list of “rock ‘n soul” collaborators. Rochester’s highly regarded Highland Bowl will host the first stop on the tour. Tedeschi Trucks Band, led by the husband-and-wife team of singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi and guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks, are fresh off of their January 2016 release of Let Me Get By, their debut album for Fantasy Records. The Associated Press stated “Tedeschi Trucks Band has already released one of the great records of the year,” and following the band’s recent filming of Austin City Limits The Austin Chronicle added “There’s no contemporary match for the Tedeschi Trucks Band in that their third LP manages the nearly impossible combination of growth and improvement where none seems possible or necessary.” Since their inception in 2010, TTB have seen both of their previous albums debut in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200, and won a Grammy for their debut album Revelator, an album hailed by Rolling Stone as a “masterpiece.” They tour over 200 days of the year and have built a dedicated following around the world, one powerful performance at a time.

  • Final LOS LOBOS GATES of GOLD
    LOS LOBOS Gates of Gold “We’re a Mexican American band, and no word describes America like immigrant. Most of us are children of immigrants, so it’s perhaps natural that the songs we create celebrate America in this way.” So says Louie Perez, the “poet laureate” and primary wordsmith of Los Lobos, when describing the songs on the band’s new album, Gates of Gold. The stories on Gates of Gold are snapshots of experiences that Perez and his band mates have had, based on where they are emotionally and how they respond to evolving life circumstances. “We live out loud most of the time and share our life this way, but then there are more intrinsic things that happen, and our songs are part of the way we react to them. We sit down and basically tell people what has happened. We certainly didn’t start this project with aspirations to create the musical equivalent to great American literary works.” After celebrating their 40th anniversary with the cleverly titled 2013 live album Disconnected In New York City, the hard working, constantly touring band – David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin – leaps headfirst into their fifth decade with an invitation to join them as they open fresh and exciting new Gates of Gold, their first full length studio album since 2010’s Tin Can Trust (a Grammy nominee for Best Americana Album) and second with Savoy/429 Records. The dynamic songwriting, deeply poetic lyrics, thoughtful romantic and spiritual themes and eclectic blend of styles on the 11 track collection has resulted in an American saga in the rich literary tradition of legendary authors John Steinbeck and William Faulkner.

  • Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008)
    Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008) Introductory Notes Unfortunately very little is known about the music of the inhabitants of the region of the world that has come to be known as Latin America. However, some of that music found its way into the music the Latin European explorers, conquistadors, and colonists brought with them to this—to their—New World. Furthermore, due to isolation, accident, and a strong will to preserve their traditions, people from the pre-Columbian cultures that survived war, disease, oppression, and suppression were able keep some of their music alive throughout the first four centuries of contact. Then, in the twentieth century, ethnomusicologists, cultural progressives, folk humanists, and indigenous musicians themselves were able to begin performing and recording their own music again in public. Clearly, since all cultural practices change over time, much of what seems to be authentic pre-Columbian music is more likely latter-day versions of older traditions; nevertheless, it is fair to say that music scholars in the twenty-first century are able to authenticate some aspects of the pre-Latin musical traditions that prospered in the Western Hemisphere from pole to pole. When the principal Latin European countries—Spain, Portugal, and France—arrived in the Americas, they brought their own fifteenth-century music with them. For four centuries, official music in church, palace, and theater was derived from and remained closely aligned with European musical styles and tastes. As there are several themes that thread their way through the fabric of Latin American humanities, so too are there several distinctive unifying features of Latin American music.
