The Levon Helm Band Newport Folk Festival, Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI, 8-3-2008 | Albums That Should Exist
Newport Folk Festival, Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI, 8-3-2008 - The Levon Helm Band
Levon Helm is best known as the main lead singer and drummer for the Band. But since the Band first broke up around 1977, he's had a long solo career as well. Unfortunately though, by the time of this concert, he was showing signs of physical decline, which can be heard in his voice. He would die four years later, in 2012, at the age of 71. He still generally sounded like you'd expect here, though. And he spread the lead vocals duties around a bit, letting some other members of his band sing a couple of songs, including one by his daughter Amy Helm. Generally, the songs were a mix of those from his solo albums, plus some classics by the Band.
As usual for this festival, the sound is excellent, while everything is unreleased. However, there was a problem with the first song, "The Same Thing," since the first thirty seconds or so were missing. I found another concert from the same year, at the Bonnaroo Festival, and used that to patch in the missing bit. That's why that one song has "[Edit]" in its title.
This album is an hour and six minutes long.

As usual, the music here is unreleased and the sound quality is excellent. However, there was a problem with the last song, "Jackson." I was able to patch the problem though. That's why that one song has "[Edit]" in its title.
Speaking of "Jackson," it's one of two cover versions here. The other one is "Gone at Last."
This album is an hour and one minute long.

David Byrne Newsletter October 2026 {Portugal}
I first heard the music of Cape Verde through the majestic voice of Cesaria Evora the first time I went to New York. Sidling into a chic little bar in Manhattan a short walk from my hotel I heard this extraordinary sound and had to ask the bar person what on earth was the music . . . . it was Cesaria and as soon as I went home I bought all I could find. Magical, soulful danceable and so somehow effortlessly beautiful

Portugal commended a world straddling empire. As often happens with colonies and empires, the colonized end up colonizing the colonizer. Well, culturally, to some extent. So artists from Sao Tome, Cabo Verde, Angola and other places around the world have either moved to Lisbon or had a profound influence on the music of the former colonizer.

For these events I'm doing a one-hour talk with slides that will include a few of the sleeping beauties stories from the book and, as a bonus, a few newly written-up stories that are not in the book but are just as surprising. The process of putting this talk together has inspired me. I'm beginning to see what the implications of this lost and found process are – David Byrne |

Speedy says:
1988: In August 1988, John Hiatt released the album Slow Turning, his follow up to his 1987 breakout album, Bring The Family. Hiatt is backed on the album by the Goners: Sonny Landreth on guitar, Dave Ranson on bass and Kenneth Blevins on drums. The album contains some of Hiatt’s best know tunes, including Drive South, Tennessee Plates, Feels Like Rain and the title track. The single Slow Turning received significant airplay and has several notable lines. The chorus of “not fade way’ echoes the Buddy Holly song of the same name, while the line “never did get what I wanted but now I get what I need” is reminiscent of a line from the Stone’s You Can’t Always get What You Want. Speaking of the Stones, Slow Turning also features the lyric “I'm yelling at the kids in the back, 'cause they're banging like Charlie Watts”. I’ve said it in other posts but it’s worth repeating here – John Hiatt is a vastly under rated singer/songwriter. This FM broadcast captures Hiatt in Canada on September 30, 1988, 38 years ago today, on tour in support of Slow Turning.

MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 3 | TWILIGHTZONE
MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 3
Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found. (Allmusic)
Great article about Mickey Baker here:
