If the songs on Cage 2 have a common weakness, it is that many are on the long side. “Wind of Change” is too much ballad, though it does house an absolutely stunning guitar solo. “Theater of Dreams” carries over with the 80’s Sabbath sound, and more intricate and cool guitars....
As far as surprises go, there are not many, but it is fun to hear “Legs” done in this raw settling. The sequencers are there but back in the mix. It’s much more rocking. Interesting to hear no backing guitars when Billy is soloing. “Gimme All Your Lovin'” benefits similarly ...
"We always track live together, but this time we had all our amps and drums and everything in the same room," said frontman Charlie Starr in a statement. "It’s just as natural and as real as possible. The last album was very raw too, but with this one I remember different time...
Beck is easy company but it is not hard to see why he has proved such an elusive star. The thing that really engages him is the music itself, which he will discuss with fierce passion, while his discomfort with everything that goes along with it manifests as humour. 贝克很好相处,但很...

Jordan Davis had plans to release “Tucson Too Late” before choosing to go with “Next Thing You Know,” his other song on this list of the Top 40 country songs of 2023. This Keith Whitley hat-tip isn’t as emotional, but it’s every bit as well-written. No. 23: Luke Combs, ...
Dogs, guitars, home, health, mumble, mumble. More coming, I swear, because why even have this thing if I don’t write? ADHD is a hell of a thing – how did I cope with it so well for so many years without even knowing I was doing so?
as violeiros do in relation to their guitars by often giving them female names (Graeff & Pinto,2012). Another dimension is that in African music, “opposing pairs such as father/mother, boys/girls, male/female, men/women, and mother/child are regularly designed to express a dichotomy between...
