LZ Love & Lightning Red -- Gut Bucket Blues - Own Label (media)
LZ Love has an impressive list of artists that she has sung and toured with including Joan Armatrading and Luther Vandross but she has returned to her blues and gospel roots to team up with guitarist Lightning Red. The opening Been Lonely is drawled out and LZ has such a soulful voice. Red strums away in the background and adds some background voc…

Grant sez: The 40 best songs of the Oughts
Dimly reminded that a decade was closing and lists were in order, I proffered my top ten albums here a few weeks back, and moved on. And then I remembered that I’m meant to be producing a specialty show for WMKY, and so quickly tossed a bunch of songs onto iTunes and tried to cram the best of the Oughts into two hours. But I was also trying to produce a coherent listening experience, so I grouped songs thematically and according to no ranking. I got, I believe, 27 tracks into the show, though I’…Garden Party: An Evaluation
Dark Was the Night: The Life and Times of Blind Willie Johnson
Patti Smith @ Bowery Ballroom Dec. 29th.
Out on the street, Delancey, in front of the club the winter winds were having their way. Playing freeze tag. I had an extra ticket, if you can believe it, but I had to duck into the club a couple of times to warm up before I popped out the second time and found someone in need. After I sold the ticket I went to the corner, Bowery and Delancey to find my son who was meeting me. His cab driver dropped him in a void somewhere. He ended up having to use the GPS on his phone to find the club! Finall…PopMatters' Top Ten Americana Albums of 2009
