Album Review: Bullseye - Bullseye EP

Bullseye
S/T
***and1/2 out of *****


Expanding from a lo-fi/bedroom pop project from Jake Barczak into a full fledge band, Bullseye's self-titled EP is a winning mix of fuzzy indie rock that flirts with a host of genres but manages to make its own way.

Shannon Powell 
Powell's Place
**** out of *****

The newest offering from Tipitina's Record Club is a reissue of Shannon Powell's debut solo album, Powell's Place. The gorgeous peach vinyl brings the hard to find release to a larger audience as the drummer unites a cross section of Crescent City players for a jazzy/funky affair.

Happy Anniversary to Angels & Vagabonds Anyways... EP

RtBE not only writes about music, but I also create some. Angels & Vagabonds (mostly) acoustic EP titled Anyways... celebrated an anniversary recently.


It is exciting to go from critic/reviewer of music, to creator of tunes. Special thanks goes out to friends and bandmates who helped with this one. While it has been quite a few years since a release from the group, more music is actually on the way...

Dylan Cover #732 Bonker Brothers "When The Ship Comes In" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by the Bonker Brothers playing "When The Ship Comes In" 


Thoughts on Original: From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
One of our favorite songs from the early days of Dylan. The purest Irish Folk we felt he ever got, Joan Baez was a fan of this one and told a cool story during No Direction Home, about him being pissed at a hotel attendant and then having this song just spiral out of him. Images of the sea, the salt, the song, raiding/pillaging; a pirate song at heart. When we are looking for pure folk Dylan this one usually finds it's way to our ears.

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is RtBE's first time hearing the Bonker Brothers and there is not much online about them. 

Thoughts on Cover:
A cover played with the quickness and as we have highlighted before, it has a Gaelic vibe that really works well with this song. A great pub tune played by this mysterious bunch of players.
