  • Band the Rank Strangers, Pete Vendettuoli
    Roots Report: On the Road Again Okee dokee folks … I am on my way back north going 70mph along Route 95. No, I am not driving. My girlfriend is. I have written my column in odd places before, but never in a moving car. We just spent a week at her father’s in South Carolina. It was interesting to be there considering I am not a fan of the south nor am I a fan of the hot weather. The temperature averaged ABOVE 95 degrees the whole time that we were there. Thank goodness for air conditioning. It took two days of driving to travel the 1,100 miles. We went the long way around and down in order to avoid cities and traffic. No, we weren’t on the lam! Route 95 tends to attract traffic, which we are hitting only 20 miles into our return journey. GRRRRR!!! It seemed an odd time to be visiting SC in light of the church shootings and Confederate flag controversy. Honestly, other than the news on TV, we didn’t hear anything about those issues. In fact, I didn’t see one Confederate flag anywhere. We were kind of in a bubble. We stayed at a gated community for people 55 and over. It was a HUGE place that felt like a small town. They have their own rules and security force. Oh, and alligators! The gators will just hang out in people’s backyards or along the side of the road depending on the time of day. Unfortunately, I only saw the top of one’s head and another one swimming away along a drainage ditch.

  • Stream Amy Cook's Gorgeous New Album 'Summer Skin'
    Stream Amy Cook’s Gorgeous New Album ‘Summer Skin’ 08.22.12 Marissa G. Muller “I try to be bleak and hopeless but it never works out,” says Austin, Texas-based singer/songwriter Amy Cook, letting out a slight chuckle. The alt-Americana musician maintains a level-headed optimism instead on her mellow slow-burners, like “Waiting 4 the World 2 End,” the opener of her latest album Summer Skin. “That song is an affirmation like, ‘Let’s not sit around and wait for the world to end,’” she adds. Cook’s done anything but, though, in her decade-spanning solo career, where she’s written songs that have appeared on primetime TV shows like Dawson’s Creek, Veronica Mars and The L Word and collaborated with people like famed cowpunk Alejandro Escovedo — whom she met after moving to Austin from California — and Ben Kweller, among others. For Summer Skin, she’s brought in an impressive group of contributors that include producer Craig Street — who worked on Norah Jones’ debut Come Away With Me — Robert Plant, Patty Griffin, Kweller, and a backing band that consists of Me’Shell N’Degeocello, David Garza, Chris Bruce, and Jonathan Wilson. “We recorded the whole record live in about five days with the band in Los Angeles and went back to Austin to do some background vocals and some overdubs,” she says. “That’s when Ben and Robert and Patti came in. Robert had known my songs for a while — [because] Patty, his girlfriend, is a good friend of mine — and [when] he heard “Airplane Driver” he really liked it and said, “Oh, I can hear some sort of mantra bits at the end.” So, he and Patti sang on the end of it.

  • Carrie Rodriguez, a Singer-Songwriter from Austin, Texas, Finds Beauty in the Cross-Pollination of Diverse Traditions
    Carrie Rodriguez, a singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas, finds beauty in the cross-pollination of diverse traditions. A passionate performer, she effortlessly melds fiery fiddle playing, electrifying vocals and a fresh interpretation of new and classic songs with an “Ameri-Chicana” attitude. Her newest project, the upcoming Spanish/English album “Lola,” is both a return to her musical roots and something of a departure where she delivers her own twangy, Texas-bred twist on Mexican Ranchera songs, creating culturally blended music for a culturally blended world. Inspired by the 1940’s-era recordings of Carrie’s great aunt, Chicana singing sensation Eva Garza, the album is a mixture of new and old songs. It features Spanish songs written by some of Carrie’s favorite Mexican composers, as well as her own Ranchera-inspired original songs written in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” Produced by Lee Townsend, the album is supported by an all-star band, The Sacred Hearts, assembled especially for this project. The band features internationally acclaimed composer/guitarist Bill Frisell, Viktor Krauss on bass, Luke Jacobs on pedal steel and guitars, David Pulkingham on nylon string guitar and electric guitar and Brannen Temple on drums and percussion. The crowdfunded project, supported entirely by friends and fans, is set to be released on Feb. 19, 2016 by Carrie’s own label, Luz Records. “The outlier, Rodriguez... already so highly regarded that she’s not only captured the heart of Americana music aficionados but infused the Latino community with a singular dose of Ameri- Chicana pride.”– TODO Magazine Carrie, an Austin native, began playing violin at age five.
