Dylan Cover #651 Darro and Dolly Long "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's artists, Darro & Dolly Long performing a live cover of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" 

Thoughts on Dylan Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
A simple little number coming off of John Wesley Harding it discards the lyrical wizardry for a down home spin.  We are rewarded with easy bliss, not often found in Dylan tunes. The emotions displayed by the singer here are heartfelt, hearty and easy going, just like the tune as a whole. Always a pleasant ride, bring that bottle over here...

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time RtBE have encountered Darro and Dolly Long

Thoughts on Cover: 

A excellent acoustic cover that strikes a gentle balance for this Monday.

Album Review: Tuba Skinny - Live @ D.B.A.

Tuba Skinny

Live @ D.B.A.

**** out of *****

Traditional jazz is not the craze it was one hundred years ago, but in New Orleans time moves slow. It is the one city in this country that truly holds onto that style and has a host of bands doing it, but none currently cut to the trad-jazz core like Tuba Skinny. Their newest live album, Live @ D.B.A is a testament to their talent and the vibrancy of this quintessential American art form.

Album Review: LA LOM - The Los Angeles League of Musicians

LA LOM

The Los Angeles League of Musicians

***and1/2 out of *****

The Los Angeles trio LA LOM's debut full length, instrumental album, The Los Angeles League of Musicians on the legendary Verve Records, is a sultry mix of styles. Everything from Latin music from the 1930's to cumbia to retro rock and soul seeps into the bands sound which they say is strictly influenced by their diverse home city.

Album Review: JD McPherson - Nite Owls

Hey all, got a new review up @glidemag which you can read Right Chere!!!

It is of the newest release from JD McPherson titled Nite Owls. 

Last time we checked in with the retro-rocker we liked Let The Good Times Roll, even making our year end list in 2015.  This one is solid as well, if a touch below that one. 

Support the artist, buy the album, read the review and peep some video below:
