I think every guitarist I knew bought this record – including me. Watson had been on several other records by this time including the legendary “Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley’s” where he got his start, but had never sat down alone with a mic and a guitar before. This record turned him into a folk superstar.
The first time I saw Watson at Club 47 the room was crowded. That was before this record was released. The next time he played Cambridge they had to clear the place between sets as half the guitarists in the greater Boston area were lined up on Mount Auburn Street.
He has recorded a lot of albums since but the straightforward simplicity and his superbe musicianship has made this one an essential part of my collection for more than 40 years now. I don’t think you can find a better Watson record. I own a lot of them and I haven’t.

For her second release, Danielle Peck proves that her first cd which featured several great tracks was no fluke. If you’re a fan of songs that truly tell a story, sung by a great artist, then you’ll love this project. Danielle will have you bouncing along and then will turn around and touch your heart, then pick you back up again. My faves are “Bad For Me” which was the first single sent to radio, the current single and title track “Can’t Behave” in which Danielle takes to task her man who just can’t behave, and “She Just Likes To Cry” which will absolutely break your heart. For you that prefer your music “fiesty”, you’ll love “Get You Back”, “Brick By Brick” and “You Like Me Better”. Another stand out track is “Do It For Me”, and if you’ve got someone in your life who’s dealing with any kind of addiction this one will most definitely grab you. All in all this is an excellent second release and I think it shows Danielle is an artist with staying power and definitely someone that Country Radio needs a lot more of! Download now and ENJOY!

What can I say? Soundgarden is back after 16 years with a great and heavy album. For those of us that grew up on rock, grunge and alternative in the 90s, we were younger and more impressionable. But we definitely understood the sound of a generation. I was 24 when Down on The Upside was released, and I’m 40 now. Although my musical tastes have evolved, I still come back to Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Green River, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, Temple of The Dog (the album created by the unfortunate event of Andrew Wood’s death), and the Melvins.
With that said, I’ve given this album a listen several times over the course of the last week on iTunes. Without going through a song by song breakdown, I can definitely say it’s worth the money. If you’re a fan of the band, this is really a no-brainer. While it doesn’t have the sound of Badmotorfinger or Louder Than Love, it does remind me a lot like Superunknown. Part of that is the sound, and the other is the catchiness of the songs. I didn’t feel this way with Down On The Upside. While good in it’s own right, I do prefer King Animal. Some songs will stand out for different reasons. For example, Attrition to me sounds a bit like Sonic Youth and Mudhoney, which is why I personally love it. And some of the sludgier tunes are reminiscent of the Melvins. That isn’t to say that they holistically “sound” like any of these bands, but more that they’re reminiscent of other bands within the same time capsule.
If nothing else, listening to this album will remind you of a time when we all had fewer responsibilities. It a was time when the things that WE cared about were center stage in pop culture rather than Jersey Shore and Lady Gaga.
For those of you that are new to Soundgarden or simply want a great rock album, give Soundgarden a shot. I say rock because grunge is really an overused term in my opinion. And honestly, if you really knew grunge, you wouldn’t classify Soundgarden as such. But in 2012, you really won’t find anything else out there like King Animal.

These two are the most beautifully put together group. They blend in and out as one voice and never leave you disappointed. Visually, they capture your eyes as well…they are connected so well it’s no wonder everyone thinks they are married to one another. The Civil Wars is duo that will take you places you never thought possible. Poison and Wine is my favorite at the moment.
