In Memoriam: Leon Russell (1942-2016)
News came earlier today of the passing of Leon Russell, 74. A true renaissance man and an extraordinary talent as composer, musician, arranger, producer, and artist, The Master of Space and Time led many lives. With each one, his music touched a new audience: as a Wrecking Crew multi-instrumentalist who contributed to innumerable classic recordings; as a pop arranger for Gary Lewis and the Playboys and others; as leader of Joe Cocker's raucous band; as composer of songs that will last forever,

Review: Bob Dylan, "The 1966 Live Recordings"
I. Play a song for me... Bob Dylan saw a very different future for folk music. His fifth studio album, Bringing It All Back Home, was released in March 1965, featuring one traditional acoustic side and one electric side. Underscoring the fact that his embrace of (gasp!) electric rock-and-roll was no fluke, Dylan plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25. From some appalled audience members came a chorus of boos. Others cheered. Dylan had electrified not only his own act, but

In Memoriam: Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
Leonard Cohen, one of the most distinctive troubadours to arrive on the musical scene in the 1960s, passed away today at the age of 82. An uncompromising talent who mordantly titled his most recent album (released just weeks ago) You Want It Darker, Cohen continued to create, inspire, and provoke until his final days. His gifts of song and art, always infused with boldness, a deep spirituality and a keen observer's eye, will always resonate with truth, honesty, power and passion. In tribute
Pray Them Bars Away: Lee Hazlewood's "Cowboy in Sweden" Coming to CD and LP

To Be Happy Is The Real Thing: BBR Reissues, Expands The Intruders' "Save the Children"

Founded in 1960, the group formed an association with the duo beginning in 1966 for the pre-Philadelphia International labels named Gamble and Excel. "(We'll Be) United," produced and penned by the label's namesake and his partner, earned The Intruders a No. 14 R&B/No. 78 Pop hit. In 1968, "Cowboys to Girls" earned them an R&B chart-topper and Top 10 Pop
