[Review] The Black Crowes & Tedeschi Trucks Band | Woods at Fontanel | July 19, 2013
I missed the London Souls because I was eating lunch. Why in the hell do you start a show this early? Seriously, there is no way I could have gotten there that early. The shows we normally cover start at 9, but that means they start at 9:30, if you are lucky. Now, I’m…

[Review] No Country Spends 24 Hours at Forecastle
I’ll be honest… after Bonnaroo, I wasn’t all that excited to head out to another music festival quite yet. Throw in the fact that I’ve seen almost every band on the bill more than one time, why would I want to subject myself to the masses, the hangovers, the porta-pots, the… I mean, I…

No Country in a Nutshell: The Weekly Recap | 6.24-6.30
2013 is really flying by, huh? As we enter the second half of the year, we just wanted to once again thank all of you for reading, sharing, and supporting us. 2013 has truly been No Country’s best year ever, so far, and we can’t wait to see what the next six months have…

[REVIEW]: *repeat repeat at The High Watt | 6.27.13
It seems to me that there are a few types of musical couples in the world. First, there are the gag-me-with-a-spoon, “why did you have to go and break up the Beatles,” John-and-Yoko type couples. Second, there are the incredibly badass, Jay-Z and Beyonce type, that you just know are poised to launch their…

[Show Recap] Hurray For The Riff Raff (Acoustic) w/ Becca Mancari and Samantha Harlow @ The End 6.22.13
New Orleans act, Hurray For The Riff Raff, stopped back in town over the weekend to play a special acoustic set at The End and we were there to appreciate their uniquely haunting renditions of songs from across their catalog (plus some excellent covers) in a very intimate arrangement. We’ve been fans of theirs…

Philip’s Bonnaroo Sunday Finale
I’ve already given my Halftime Report on Thursday and Friday of Bonnaroo. Earlier this week, I brought you my rundown on the acts I caught Saturday. Matt gave you his thoughts on the whole fest, and Jessika brought you a post from a ‘Roo first-timer along with the first part of her recap. We still…

Jessika’s Roo Recap – Part 1
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in total denial that it’s another year until our next get down on the farm. As a show of protest (or supreme laziness) I refuse to unpack my car, trying to hold onto the magic a little bit longer. And now… the recap… part 1… or…

Show Review: SHEL at Two Old Hippies
I’ve never realized my dream of becoming a radio DJ (at least not yet), but I try my hardest to turn strangers onto good music via the sound system at my local gym. So far, I’m 2/2 with this one guy. He’s just picking up what I’m putting down. A month ago, he stopped…

Philip’s Bonnaroo Saturday Rundown
Bonnaroo’s over and we’re all caught up on sleep and back to reality. That doesn’t mean we’re done talking about it just yet though! Stay posted for coverage all week, including individual recaps, full set reviews, photos (that aren’t from a phone), interviews, and more! I already brought you a halftime report from the fest, which…

REVIEW: Pokey LaFarge @ Third Man Records | 6.1.13
Pokey LaFarge w/ Paul Burch Third Man Records; Nashville, TN June 1, 2013 Review by Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain). Photos by Jo McCaughey (via Third Man). Pokey LaFarge is a timeless soul. Not just in his musical proclivities, but in his appearance, demeanor and even his manner of speaking. He’s not a retro act; not a throwback…
