The Chieftains “Voice of Ages”
April 1, 2012Those who know me may think I like this band because of the hockey reference. The real reason is their appearance on “Brak Presents the Brak Album Starring Brak.” Twelve years later, I can return the favor and review this compilation. So unlike that record, this one features all Chieftains stuff, and it’s the vocalist [...]
The Decemberists “We All Raise Our Voices to the Air: Live Songs 04.11-08.11″
April 1, 2012Two CDs. Two hours. All Decemberists. Not sure what else to say. Pick your favorite song of theirs and see whether they played it. The longest ones (over 10 minutes each) are “The Crane Wife 1, 2, and 3″; “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” (which is really good live); and “I Was Meant for the Stage.” [...]

The Decemberists “Long Live the King”
November 13, 2011I know their fans hate it when I say it, but Colin Meloy, today’s James Taylor, is back with an EP. “E. Watson” is first and does what the Decemberists do so well: tell stories. “Foregone” reminds me of the Jayhawks. Death Cab for Cutie fans will appreciate “Burying Davy.” That’s my favorite on this [...]
The Decemberists “An iTunes Session”
October 2, 2011This act is an institution, and even if they’re headed into the December of their career, they can still bring it, even on Spirit Airlines. Fans will recognize all of these songs. Just consider it an opportunity to hear your favorites done anew. “Calamity Song” is from their newest but sounds as good as some [...]
