The Auckland, New Zealand based dream pop outfit Phoebe Rings has a new single out. ""가려진 시간 사이로 (Through The Hidden Hours)" is a cover of Yoon Sang released on Carpark Records.
The debut solo record from Chris Lyons is an easy flowing collection of eight light, roots rock based offerings that drift with relaxed charm. Painters Street, on Nudie Records,never rushes as a Sunday morning exhale vibe embodies Lyon's songs.
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 Dan Owen doing "The Ballad of Hollis Brown"
Thoughts on Dylan Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune: One of the most bleak and powerful songs of Dylan's strongest period, "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" is like the mentioned shotgun blast and story told to the listener; fierce. Instantly a kinship is felt with the central character and as the situation becomes more direr, horrific and finally (somehow) hope creeps in. The last lines are some of Dylan's best as the murder happens and yet optimism or at least irony flows through via "There's Seven New People Born"...The wheel keeps on a'spinnin'.

Thoughts of Cover Artist: This is our first time hearing Dan Owen who is a Shrewsbury England based folk singer.
Thoughts on Cover:
This is a stunning live rendition! Fantastic guitar playing, and a voice that feels like it shouldn't be coming out of that body. RtBE needs to investigate Mr. Owen as this is a dynamite cover. Finding covers like this is the reason this series still exists...
We search the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts and post them to the site weekly, come back every seven days to help us celebrate Full Show Friday's. These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for long so enjoy them while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way, but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing). This week...Ascension!
It is upon us! BLACK Friday! In a tradition we started years ago it is time for the most evil Black Metal ever; because really it is the perfect soundtrack if you are hitting the brutality of shopping on this day. Granted we here at RtBE are not fans of the genre (or shopping) but have researched a few bands after enjoying the documentary Until The Light Takes Us.
Since it is a holiday here in the USA, also make sure to enjoy your time with loved ones and family. As a famous man once said, "Enjoy Every Sandwich"...especially the leftover turkey, mashed potato, stuffing and gravy ones on potato rolls...
The last few years we have thrown it back to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades of the past and this years no different.
Here is the 2001 Thanksgiving Day Parade, now go get stuffed!
A host of New Orleans musicians came together on the Sunday Night before Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the most legendary concerts of all time, The Last Waltz. The gorgeous Civic Theater in the Central Business District hosted the concert as fans of all ages filtered in to sing, dance, and enjoy the well-loved songs by The Band and beyond.

The newest full length release from the Minneapolis, Minnesota based Citric Dummies is a screeching affair that finds their collective tongues planted firmly in cheeks as they mosh and stage dive throughout their Split With Turnstile.
In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a cover by Francesco De Gregori playing "If You See Her, Say Hello"
A really heart wrenching tune from Blood On The Tracks because of both the amazing lyrics and the vulnerability with which Dylan sings the words. The phrasing is excellent as well, with the song coming alive when sung with a sense of resignation and a touch of despair. A linchpin and sometimes over looked piece to perhaps Dylan's best album.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the fist time RtBE Francesco De Gregori, who is an Italian singer/songwriter.
Thoughts on Cover:
Acoustic guitar, light organ work, soft percussion and an overall delicate approach color De Gregori's take on the song. While it is sung in Italian, it stays with the same melody and timing as the original. The light strings strums and quick flutters work well.

This week we go back to 1980 and the Tower Theater in Philadelphia with Paul Simon.
One of the hottest young guitar slinging bluesmen doing it today, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, takes a new path, moving from Alligator Records to releasing his first album on his own record label (Red Zero Records) as Hard Road deals with personal issues and evolution around blues, rock and soul splashes.
The third album from the Brooklyn based outfit Geese is an enchanting mix of freak out sounds with an underlining groove that holds Getting Killed together. The art-rock outfit push, pull, and warp things over eleven thought provoking, yet still danceable efforts on this breakout offering.
