J. L. Puckett also has a phoner with Shonna Tucker of the Drive-By Truckers plus a CD review of their lastest CD. The group is scheduled to play at Headliners Saturday night.
Here’s bit of video of the band for your entertainment:
Word that Peter Searcy’s song “I Believe” would be featured on Oprah’s “Big Give” program has been circulating for a couple of weeks now. J. L. Puckett at the C-J has a big write-up. The tune is also featured in NBC’s commercials for “LIpstick Jungle,” which should help Searcy’s bank account some. We’re all pleased to see him score a couple of more successes, given how tough the music business is these days.
My Morning Jacket will have a tune on the soon-to-release soundtrack from the TV superhero show, “Heroes.” “Chills” makes the cut along with tunes from Wilco, Panic At The Disco, BOb Dylan, David Bowie and more, according to Billboard.com. Details here.
Elvis Costello, who was played Freedom Hall on October 17, 2007 with Bob Dylan, a show that most definitely didn’t sell out, will try his luck again at the Palace on May 7. Joe Lord has the details.
J. L. Puckett has an obituary for hip-hop artist Stephen “Static” Garrett.
Blogsite 37 Flood has a brief review, plus a bunch of photos and a video of the Wax Fang/Ultrapulverize show.
Cory Greenwell at Backseat Sandbar has a review of Saturday’s Over the Rhine show at the Brown Theatre. He also has a bunch of photos, mostly of singer Karin Bergquist. Can’t argue with that
Louisville hip-hop artist Static, born Stephen Garrett, died yesterday, possibly of a brain aneurism. His age was reproted variously at 31, 32 or 33. A member of the R&B group Playa, he was known for his songwriting. Garrett had worked with Aaliyah, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and Ginuwine, among others. WHAS TV has more.
