Evening Becomes Eclectic

Evening Becomes Eclectic- Folk is connected in so many ways to blues, rock, jazz, punk and other forms and is universal world wide. I want to explore those connections...

And....

Roots, Shoots and Leaves - DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity, an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists, and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Album Review: Hang Your Hopes on a Crooked Nail, by Rod Picott

Mon, 01/11/2016 - 12:13am | Scott Korinke

Hang Your Hopes on a Crooked Nail is Rod Piscott's sixth studio album in a career that spans an impressive 15 years. The album is pure down-to-earth Americana music, combining the charm and rural feel of country music and the rock sound of Bruce Springsteen. Rod Picott's soothing and earthy voice is at the musical forefront of the album, with an array of instruments filling in the rhythmic midtempo instrumentation, including a mandolin and slide guitars. The album has its quicker and louder moments, including the hopeful and reflective "Where No One Knows My Name." However, the album's best moments are the softer tracks, including the simple yet thoughtful "Bluebonnet" and "Mobile Home," which paint a realistic portrait of trailer-park life. Overall, Hang Your Hopes on a Crooked Nail is very laid back--a relaxing and reflective album--perfect for long drives on quiet, sunny afternoons and a worthy addition to the collection of country, Americana, or acoustic-rock fans.

Davisville, 1/4/16: Meet two of the Vanguard 10

Mon, 01/04/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Screen Shot 2016-01-03 at 6.55.10 PM.png

The “comments” section on the Davis Vanguard has evolved into a pretty good online discussion zone on various big issues affecting Davis. The opinions often go way beyond the couched language that sometimes passes for official discourse in town. Lately, the term “Vanguard 10” has emerged as a shorthand description of the most frequent commenters on the site … raising the question of whether they’re just a random handful of people who enjoy using the site, or instead represent the busiest end of what's emerging as one of the best online civic forums in town. Today we talk with two of the 10, Tia Will and Jeff Boone.
