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

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

Rod Piscott album.jpg

Hang Your Hopes on a Crooked Nail

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.

The Spanglers LIVE on KDRT

This month's KDRT Live from 2nd Friday ArtAbout features Davis' own Spangler, performing live from the Armadillo Music stage. Singer/songwriters Helen and Tim Spangler front the band of five musicians, which also includes Scott Katzman and Adam Estell on dueling guitars and Christopher Reilly on drums. Most recently nominated for a SAMMIE (Sacramento Area Music Award) in the folk-rock category, Spangler's songs tell stories of passion and need, triumph and defeat, and the grounded realization that timing is everything. After releasing their second album We're All Fine Here Now, Spangler was featured in the Sacramento News and Review and performed on the headliner's stage at Sacramento Music Festival 2015, opening for Sean Mullins, Eve 6, and Everclear.

Andre Martinez visits KDRT

Music and movies and how they compliment and affect each other. Who better to have someone talk about this than Andre. Andre Martinez started his film career at age 9 with simple LEGO animations he shot in his room. He began doing more serious film work in high school, and has been committed to film production as a career path ever since. He has produced/directed several short films and webisodes, as well as produced/directed a 30-minute feature (Second of Ypres) and a 60-minute feature (Unforgotten). He has two YouTube channels: StealthyNinjaMedia and S Ninja. He is currently a freshman at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles studying film. We will be playing some great movie scores. All Listening Lyric shows are live on Fridays from 4:00PM to 5:00PM.(PST) on KDRT 95.7FM. For those outside the listening area, the show will stream live online at KDRT.org.

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.
