Yep: you’ve come to the right place. Wet, wild (sometimes) and curves in all the right places. All photos by Brian Robbins, usually taken after telling the skipper: “Run right at me and when you think you’re getting too close, count to three … and then turn the wheel.”

Marc Ford: Faith, Formation Flying and Fuzz

Marc Ford: Faith, Formation Flying and Fuzz

Marc Ford and son Elijah, Boston, MA 10/11/14 – Jeff Urquhart photo

J.J. Cale was one of those players—an incredibly gifted soul who made any musical situation he was a part of better.

Lauded by other players—some of the best in the business, in fact—but blessed/cursed with a talent:ego ratio that prevented him from ever touting his own horn very loudly.

Marc Ford is another one of those players.

Drive-By Truckers - English Oceans Deluxe/Black Ice Verite DVD

Drive-By Truckers – English Oceans Deluxe/Black Ice Verite DVD

ATO Records

The hardest part of writing this review is knowing what category to put it in, as there’s a lot – a hell of a lot – going on here. First, you have the complete English Oceans album that was released earlier this year and reviewed right here.

If you already own English Oceans, that’s okay: you can buy this here Deluxe (deeeee-lux) version for about the price of a single CD and get a…

Jim Weider's Project Percolator - Live at Mystic Blues Festival 2013 (Featuring Hook Herrera)

Jim Weider’s Project Percolator – Live at Mystic Blues Festival 2013 (Featuring Hook Herrera)

Moon Haw Records

Guitarist Jim Weider and his various Project Percolator ensembles cover a lot of musical ground in the course of any given night. A typical Project Percolator set might incorporate elements of out-there-and-back jazz, nasty-assed funk, rock as rock gets, slap-yerself-silly rockabilly and deep-groove reggae – just for starters. And usually Weider himself is leading the charge with…

Medeski Scofield Martin Wood - Juice

Medeski Scofield Martin Wood – Juice

Indirecto Records

The thing about magic is, it just frigging happens.

For instance, consider what takes place when keyboardist John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin and bassist Chris Wood open the arms of their three-headed funky out-thereness and embrace the guitar wizardry of John Scofield. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since the quartet last played together – it’s gonna be magic. It just is.

Making it to the 25-year mark is an accomplishment for any band – but how many bands halfway into their third decade together are still challenging themselves? Let’s face it: most artists who have had any degree of success (at least enough to make a living out of what they’re doing) oftentimes hit a plateau where it gets pretty easy to play the…
