The Blues Man, Plus Reggae
When I was just a kid growing up in Los Angeles, my mother played a wide
array of records for my brother and me, but the musician who brings me
back to those glory days is—wait for it—Taj Mahal. My mother played 1976’s Satisfied ’N’ Tickled Too so often that, even after years of not hearing it, songs like “Black Man, Brown Man” and “Satisfied ’N’ Tickled Too” are firmly lodged in my brain with nearly the same sense of necessity as things like breathing.

King David
Sixty-four-years old isn’t exactly elderly, and I had seen David Lescht
around town on many recent occasions, so the news of his death late last
week was hard for me to fathom. by Alex De Vore Comments (0)

Take Cover
As bands like Chango will tell you, choosing the right tune to cover is
critical. It’s pretty easy to look like a fool when you choose to cover
some crap nobody’s ever heard of or a song that’s beyond your means. On
some occasions, however, covers outshine the original material.by Alex De Vore Comments (0)
