Album: Jim Byrnes, My Walking Stick (Black Hen Music)
Published July 9, 2009, 4:20 pm, Independent
Canadian bluesman Jim Byrnes cites the approach of the pre-blues "songster" tradition – in which the blues would be but one part of a repertoire that also encompassed gospel spirituals, country, folk and popular songs – as indicative of his intentions on his own albums.
White Denim - Power trio on the road from Austin
Published July 9, 2009, 4:11 pm, Independent
It's late afternoon when I meet up with White Denim in a shabby pub in Shoreditch. Just a few hundred yards up the road, expensively sunglassed Hoxton trendies are sipping overpriced lattes in boutique coffee bars, but this is another world entirely. Scattered tables are surrounded by mismatched chairs that look as though they've been salvaged from a dump. An old row of cinema seats along the ...

Measuring influence in Funky Meters
Published July 9, 2009, 2:06 pm, The Japan Times
Funky Meters is a good name for any band. However, the band that actually calls itself Funky Meters contains two original members of the legendary New Orleans R&B quartet The Meters and basically plays the same repertoire. In that regard, affixing "funky" to Meters is like calling snow "cold." Some say The Meters invented funk. That's arguable, but there was something earthier and more exotic ...
PERFORMANCE/TOUR: Power Banjo, Extreme Jazz and a Bit of Twitchy Punk
Published July 9, 2009, 1:56 pm, All About Jazz

In the foreground Brandon Seabrook, Jareds brother, was a man apparently ...
