I’ve been a big fan of Jimmy Fallon since his SNL days, and him getting his own show this year, after he replaced Conan O’Brien as the host of the Late Night Show, did only to enforced my admiration. Last night, though, Jimmy delivered a moment of sheer and utter brilliance, when he strapped on a wig, a hat and a flannel and performed what can only be called the best Neil Young impression ever….
Today is Canada Day, the national holiday of North America’s other, more icy power state, and to mark the event I thought it would be fun to write a feature piece. Now, I’m not Canadian, nor I have any connection what so ever with the maple state, however some of my most beloved artists hail from there, so I guess this has to count for something, right? Bellow you can browse through a list of…
I’m not sure there’s a modern rock band more steeped in the history of rock n’ roll than the Drive-By Truckers. Band leader Patterson Hood is the son of David Hood, a key figure in the old Muscle Shoals music scene; they were the backing band for the forgotten queen of soul, Bettye Lavette’s Scene of the Crime album; and their last album, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark, featured Spooner Oldham (who is being inducted into…
In his latest video, for what seems to be the title track for his upcoming new album, Neil is featured in a one-shot position, listening to music on his headphones, plugged-in into an apple. He then bites it, after chanting “I’m a big rock star” (indeed you are, sir!) – quite a nice allegory to our modern day iPod, iPhone and other Apple gadgets, that today’s music enthusiasts use. “My sales have tanked, but I…
While on tour, playing in Auburn, WA, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood moved close to each other and started playing a “Faust Arp” duet, like they always do shows, however… this time Thom forget the lyrics. Anyway, after a series of jokes and ramblings around the matter, to escape this somewhat embarrassing moment, the band went on and played a beautiful cover of Neil Young’s “Tell Me Why.” Check out the video bellow as…

[tag]Neil Young[/tag]’s latest album Chrome Dreams II, a revived shelved 1977 project, is set to hit stores next week. It’ll undoubtedly at least be a decent addition to the Canadian musician impressive catalog, a catalog that many bands had the privilege to sample and cover. Georgia indie quintet Of Montreal is such a band, covering Neil Young’s classic Harvest Moon. Kevin Barnes vocals take on the song, laid upon a simple 2 chord acoustic, make…
Canadian folk/rock legend [tag]Neil Young[/tag] has recently revealed, at his website, plans to release a new record called “Chrome Dreams II”. You might ask why the “II” ? Apparently Neil had a project called “Chrome Dreams”, way back in 1977, that unfortunately was shelved and never saw the light of day. The new album will feature 10 tracks, 7 brand new ones and 3 which were already written, probably from the old ’77 unreleased LP….
