Album Review: Bequest - On Hills Will Death Play

Bequest

On Hills Will Death Play

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

The Philadelphia, PA based punk outfit Bequest have a new offering out, On Hills Will Death Play. It is a slapping seven song EP and a strong statement from the group, which is made up from members of eX-Tradition, Kinetic Orbital Strike, and The Damage. The trio mixes in sludgy grime laden bass and aggressive riffs as the angst and power is all pushed along by killer drums. 

Dylan Cover #742 The Album Show "Everything is Broken" 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 Album Show playing "Everything is Broken"

Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:

If Bob wasn't the Bard "Everything Is Broken" would just be another tossed off song. However, is anything with Dylan just simply tossed off? Well..yeah...this song certainly feels tossed off to me...sorry. Oh Mercy is a hell of an album, one of Dylan's classics, and this song is fine, it just can't even stand close to any of his all-time gems, not remotely close. One of the reasons I started this cover series was to show how amazing The Bard's songs are in just about anyone's hands, but if the original of this tune was written by Joe Schmo would people think it was great, or is it just the Dylan name that gives it clout?

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

This is the first time RtBE has come across The Album Show who are Sydney, Australia based tribute act.  

Thoughts on Cover:

A bluesy grooving cover of the tune, that sticks pretty close to the original. A fun spin.

Album Review: Little Freddie King - Live at BJ's Lounge

Little Freddie King

Live at BJ's Lounge

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

The (just turned) 86-year-old blues legend Little Freddie King fell in love with New Orleans and moved there when he was a young teen. Cousin of Lightnin' Hopkins, Kings connection to the blues runs as deep as possible and for his career (which is still ongoing) LFK called the Bywater establishment BJ's Lounge home, playing there as often as he could over the past thirty years. Now comes his definitive live record, the double album Live at BJ's Lounge and it is the best he has ever sounded anywhere.

Dylan Cover #741 Heinz Notter "With God On Our Side" 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 Heinz Notter playing "With God On Our Side"

Thoughts on Original
From the first time we talked about a cover of this tune:
Perhaps the most poignant and lasting song Dylan has written and that speaks volumes. Lyrically it is perfect; using history, the warping of religion and politics to get across the point that man will rationalize anything, even war. Only played live 30 times since it's debut at Dylan's historic Town Hall show the song has added weight and meaning when it is played.

Morality and War, Religion and Righteousness, all just words when it comes down to it, hold life inside those letters. Musically stark Dylan uses his impressive lyrics to express the confusion perfectly. Should be mandatory listing in every history classroom.

The ripping Jack White tour rolls on as he traverses the north east this week. Having caught him just over a week ago in Brooklyn, the same high powered energy graced the smaller stage of The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester this Sunday night. Riding high on the back of back of his recent release, Frozen Charlotte, White and crew mixed ecstatic hire wire electro rock and roll with down and dirty blues.

Album Review: Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks 58: 12/18/73 Tampa, FL

Grateful Dead

Dave's Picks 58: 12/18/73 Tampa, FL 

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

Standard disclaimer: When reviewing any Grateful Dead release at this point, it needs to be noted that a lot of the truly great shows from the band have already been professionally released. (If you are new to them, check out RtBE's Beginners Guide to The Grateful Dead Part's one and two.) 

With their vast back catalog on archive.org and all of their previous releases, including the ongoing Dave's Picks, the band's selections are running thin when it comes to must own, professionally released concerts.

That said, the Grateful Dead organization still release shows because rabid fans (RtBE included) will listen to everything they put out. So let's dive in...

New Single from When In Rome "Human Nature"
