The 50 and Counting tour continues…. “50 and Counting has been pretty amazing so far,” Mick Jagger said in a release. “We did a few shows in London and New York last year … and had such a good time that we thought … let’s do some more. It’s a good show. Lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear … with a few little gems tucked in here and there. The stage is shaped like lips and goes off into the venue so I get to run around in the crowd. It’s great fun to be able to get that close to the audience.” Keith Richards added, “From day one at rehearsals it sounded so...

  Do you like lists? I like lists. Some times I agree with them, sometimes I do not. Sometimes they’re fun for laughs, sometimes they’re though provoking. Sometimes they’re worthless. I’ll let you decide where this list falls. CBC has announced their Top 25 Canadian Singers of All Time List. It was compiled by a group consisting of network producers and hosts. The said about the task that it was “a tenuous, lawless balancing act of separating voices from songwriting skills, honouring established talents while still giving a nod to younger generations and giving due respect to those with mad skills regardless of whether they are too cool or not cool enough.” Here’s their listing…  1. k.d. lang  2.

Music gives us so much joy, and occasionally, so much sadness. Reports today of the death of Jason Molina, one of the finest talents of recent years , have left me totally shocked and stunned. Fans knew he was unwell, he’d been out of the picture for the last three or four years but the news of his death, on Saturday March 16 at the age of 39 was completely unexpected. Jason first came to our attention back in the 90’s as the main man behind Songs: Ohia which was essentially just a vehicle for himself. A fine body of work was carved out, culminating in the superb album Magnolia Electric Co in 2003. Jason loved the sound of...

Paul Carrack is along on this tour and treated the crowd to a couple of his favorites “How Long” and “Temped.” The Wallflowers opened the show. Here is Eric’s band...

Yes, the rumors are true. All signs are pointing to a reunion of the original Santana band and an album looks imminent. Carlos recently told music Vintage Vinyl News: “So far we have invited the original members like Gregg Rolie from the first three albums, It will be like Santana IV because we stopped at ‘Santana III’” Carlos continued that the album will have the African feel of the first three Santana records. “We have been checking out a lot of African music, African patterns,” he says. “Each artist has his own thing that he listens to. Led Zeppelin listened to Otis Rush. Cream listened to Freddie King and Albert King. We all had someone that we listened to....
