Just two weeks after Bob Dylan guitarist Doug Lancio vanished from the tour and was replaced by jazz virtuoso Julian Lage, Bob Britt — who has played guitar in Dylan's band since 2019 — has apparently left the group as well. Over the weekend, Britt wrote “Sayonara Bobby” on his Facebook page along with an image of a plane flight from Austin, where the next Dylan show is set to take place at the Moody Amphitheater, to Nashville. In the comments, he told a fan, “I quit.” (A shoutout to Dylan superfan Harold Lepidus for flagging the posts.) The surprise…
The video takes inspiration from Paul Simon's music video “You Can Call Me Al,” featuring Chevy Chase Walton Goggins is “Going Shopping” with the Strokes in their new video for the band's lead single for their forthcoming album, Reality Awaits. Taking direct inspiration from Paul Simon's music video “You Can Call Me Al,” featuring Chevy Chase in 1986, Goggins lip-syncs next to frontman Julian Casablancas as various craziness plays out alongside the two, nonchalant men. Landing Goggins for the cameo was a long shot, the band noted in a statement, but the White Lotus and Righteous Gemstones star readily agreed.…
Bruce Springsteen quipped that Clive Davis was “the most humble man in the music business” — before describing him as “big, and bombastic, and brave, and full of ideas” at the legendary record executive's funeral Monday, June 29. In the final eulogy of the service, Springsteen recalled the day he auditioned for Davis, who offered him a contract with Columbia Records on the spot. “On that day, Clive showed a 22-year-old nobody the same warmth, the same kindness, the same respect that he would show me after all my success for the next 50 years,” Springsteen said. Even after they…
Metallica also left their mark off stage during the Cardiff leg of their tour. Through the All Within My Hands charitable foundation, the band donated 20 thousand pounds (approximately 23,200 euros) to the Cardiff Foodbank, allowing the organization to distribute approximately 9,000 meals to people in economic difficulty. “At first we thought it was a joke,” the director of the Cardiff Foodbank, Rachel Biggs, told the BBC. “We received an email inviting us to contact the foundation because they wanted to donate £20,000 to us. It's a huge sum that will really make a difference and allow us to fill…
The TV project he had to see Achille Lauro protagonist in Rai would have failed. According to rumors circulating in recent days, the two event evenings scheduled in prime time on the flagship network between November and December would not take place, at least for the next season. In their place, for the Roman artist, however, a showcase would open on the opposite front: the San Siro concert broadcast on Canale 5. The Rai project that will never see the light Of the hypothesis of a show event built around Achille Lauro we had been talking about it for weeks.…
Back in 2013, we took it upon ourselves to remind music fans that it’s our duty to remain at least somewhat civilized when we attend concerts. We weren’t asking people to stop drinking, dancing, and having fun. We just wanted them to stop acting in super obnoxious ways that annoyed everyone around them. Sadly, the world didn’t listen. In fact, 2013 seems like a quaint and respectable age now that we’re all living in the twisted dystopian hellscape of 2025. Cellphones were hardly a novelty back then, but most people could at least remember a time back then when they…
What makes Solid Sound such a perfect weekend for Wilco fans? Every other summer, the band's signature event brings thousands of people to the rolling hills of western Massachusetts to enjoy three days of music, togetherness, and eclectic creativity on the grounds of Mass MoCA, a factory site turned contemporary art museum. Other festivals have bigger stars and buzzier scenes, but there's simply no comparison if you love this band. Each Solid Sound since the first one in 2010 has been packed with unique performances you won't see anywhere else, rare crossover moments that make you feel lucky to be…
Charley Crockett brought the drama surrounding his 17th studio album, Clovisto a close on Monday when he announced on social media that the LP will be officially released on Friday via the Atlantic Outpost label. The 14-track Clovis was recorded earlier this year at the Norman Petty Studio in Clovis, New Mexico, with Shooter Jennings producing and Crockett's band, the Blue Drifters, laying down the music. “I don't care if it's Waylon Jennings or Jimi Hendrix,” Crockett tells Rolling Stone of making the record. “All of my favorite artists, they reach back in the past, they bring it back, and…
For twenty years Espen Reinertsen has been a constant presence on the brilliant Scandinavian scene, capable of mixing the languages of different jazz, electronic and even pop tribes. For his new album, “Venus Er I Håret”, published like the previous one on Susanna Wallumrød's label, he gets help only from the trusty Erik Nylander (drums) and the usual Eivind Lønning (trumpet). The sound of the album is minimal and at the same time transversal: Espen sings with a faint voice consumed by who knows what icy fjord and the effect at times resembles the one that the immortal Wyatt found…
Always feeling one step behind, not enough, and looking for a balance that never arrives: it is a feeling that passes through an entire generation, and Focus try to line it up without taking yourself too seriously. The new single by Glaucusout Friday 3 July for DOREMI / Visionary Sapiens, starts from here: from the need to feel worthy, transformed from a private experience into a collective story. The song was born from the meeting with the producer Zenith and moves within the tradition of rap boom bap, of which it recovers the essential groove and the centrality of the…
