Album Review: Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks #56 Rainbow Theater London 3/20-21/81

Grateful Dead

Dave's Picks #56 Rainbow Theater London 3/20-21/81

***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 the band, 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, the band's selections are running thin when it comes to must own, professionally released concerts.

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

Album Review: The Black Keys - No Rain, No Flowers

The Black Keys

No Rain, No Flowers

** out of *****

On last years, Ohio Players, The Black Keys shifted out of their rinse and repeat blues rock style to make a successfully wide ranging effort that touched on hip hop, Beck collaborations and poppy outings all mixed in with their bread and blues butter. 

It sounded like the band was truly having fun in the studio, unfortunately things fell apart for them almost immediately after releasing the record. They were forced to cancel an upcoming arena tour and fired their management team. Without pausing, the band dove back into the studio as No Rain, No Flowers arrives just a year after all of that. One might assume it would be a retreat to their classic style, that is not the case. 

Album Review: Various Artists - A Tribute to the King of Zydeco

Various Artists

A Tribute to the King of Zydeco

**** out of *****

To celebrate what would have been Clifton Chenier's 100th birthday, Valcour Records put together a tribute album that brings together a wide range of Chenier's musical fans. A Tribute to the King of Zydeco is a benefit album that supports Clifton Chenier Memorial Scholarship, which will offer annual financial assistance to students studying Traditional Music, specifically Zydeco accordion, keeping Louisiana Music alive for future generations. 

Album Review: Jennie Arnau - A Rising Tide

Jennie Arnau

A Rising Tide

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

Some artists like to take their time between albums and then there is Jennie Arnau. After releasing 2010's Chasing Giants she lived a full life and finally returned fifteen years later to tell her musical tales with A Rising Tide, a collection of fourteen Americana based numbers filtered through the cement of her hometown NYC.   

New Single/Video from Liz Hogg "One Thread"

The Brooklyn based electric/classical guitarist and composer/singer-songwriter Liz Hogg recently released her second solo album Goodbye World Hello Something via Aagoo Records. Her most recent single./video is for the song "One Thread".

The tune has a quirky 90's indie-rock vibe to it, as if it would have sounded at home as a Wowee Zowee outtake. Give it a spin below and grab her album.

  

Dylan Cover #712 Brian Corcoran "Must Be Santa" 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 Brian Corcoran playing "Must Be Santa"

Thoughts on Original:
In 2009 Bob Dylan released Christmas In The Heart and unleashed his version of the rollicking "Must Be Santa" and it's killer video upon the world.

Based on a German drinking song, "Must Be Santa" was concocted by Hal Moore and Bill Fredericks and first released in 1960. Dylan's version is a blast in a polka style tossing in Presidents into the mix. While technically not an original for this series...who cares?  

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is our first time hearing Brian Corcoran, a singer from Dublin. 

Thoughts on Cover:

Merry Christmas!

New Singles from Brass Knuckle Brigade "To Be Blood" and "Savages"

The new hardcore outfit Brass Knuckle Brigade have two tunes out, "To Be Blood" and "Savages".  

This is a heavy hitting one-two punch of raw aggression from the group, whose members have been on the scene for years. BKB are longtime friends of RtBE so it is good to see them in action again. 

Check out the beat down ready tracks below:

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Albums Part 3 (Top 5)

Another year is finishing up and @RockBodElec wouldn't be a proper music site if we didn't end the year with a "Best Of" list, so RtBE presents 2025's Favorite Albums Part 3: Top Five.

In the instance that RtBE has reviewed the album, either on this site or elsewhere, we will link to that review and just give a quick summation, click on the name/title and you can read our full opinion. RtBE worked with the Glide Team to give input on their Top 20, so you can expect some overlap if you already have seen that list.

Again the focus here is on full albums, not singles, but long playing releases you can slap on and listen all the way through. We know these are a dying breed, but it still is the way we consume music, no shuffle, AI music, Spotify, or playlists for us.

The number ten just works for this, so here is the second part of our top ten, numbers five through one. You can see the back end of our top ten and our list of Honorable Mentions that were just out of our top ten. Consider those 10-24, in no particular order.

Like all of our lists or 'best of', these are meant to start conversations, not end them...

Album Review: Snooper - Worldwide

Snooper

Worldwide

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

Following up on their exciting debut, the Nashville, TN based Snooper continue their egg punk style with short blasts of raw sounds mixed with odd dance ready outings on Worldwide. The group uses lo-fi artsy twists to the music as they continue to solidify their style. 

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Albums Part 2 (#10-6)

Another year is finishing up and @RockBodElec wouldn't be a proper music site if we didn't end the year with a "Best Of" list, so RtBE presents 2025's Favorite Albums Part 2 (Numbers 10-6):

In the instance that RtBE has reviewed the album, either on this site or elsewhere, we will link to that review and just give a quick summation, click on the name/title and you can read our full opinion. RtBE worked with the Glide Team to give input on their Top 20, so you can expect some overlap if you already have seen that list.

Again the focus here is on full albums, not singles, but long playing releases you can slap on and listen all the way through. We know these are a dying breed, but it still is the way we consume music, no shuffle, AI programming, Spotify mixes or singles for us.

This begins our top ten and we will wrap it up tomorrow. You can also find our list of Honorable Mentions that were just out of our top ten. Consider those 10-24, in no particular order.

Like all of our lists or 'best of' roundups, these are meant to start conversations, not end them...

Album Review: Freak Slug - Loose Tooth and a Short Skirt

*** out of *****

The Manchester, England based indie-pop artist Freak Slug followed up her debut I Blow Out Big Candles with this quick EP, Loose Tooth and a Short Skirt. 

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Live Shows

The live show is a slippery thing. There are lots of variables at play, most having little to do with the performance itself. Does the venue have enough bathrooms? Is it going to rain? What day of the week is it on? Did I have a shitty day at work before hand? Did tickets cost waaay too much? All of this can alter one's opinion of a live show before the band even tunes up and with reason. However, when the stars align, there is no place RtBE would rather be than in the moment of magic occurring spontaneously from the stage.

Live Music Has No Equal!

Taken By The Fantastic Megan Donohue

While obviously we can't see every show that is out there, we try to get out often to catch live music. Sure there are a few left in the calendar year, but for now, here is a listing of the best concerts we were fortunate enough to have caught in 2025.

There are links to show reviews in the titles, also because who doesn't love arbitrary rankings, one show at the bottom took the top prize as RtBE's 2025 Favorite Live Show. 

Album Review: Flagboy Giz - Smoke Signals

Flagboy Giz

Smoke Signals

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

The newest offering, Smoke Signals, form Flagboy Giz continues his string of engaging music, braggadocio rhymes and funky beats. The hybrid mix of hip-hop, funk, and Mardi Gras Indian culture flows strong throughout the New Orleans focused album.  

Dylan Cover #711 Elle & Toni "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" 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 Elle & Toni playing "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" 

Thoughts on Original:

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

Arriving just after "Idiot Wind" the breezy "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" acts as a breather on Blood on the Tracks, but on it's own it is a gorgeous little number. A poetic love song that feels fresh every time it slips into the ear as the protagonist is in a world of bliss and doesn't want it to end, but knows it always will. Miles away from "Idiot Wind", but just as vital, showing off Dylan's easy charm and flowing word play/vocal style, I mean how cool is the "I’ll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco or Ashtabula" run through?   

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

The Los Angeles based duo Elle and Toni are indie folk musicians who write and cover americana, folk, traditional folk, and folk rock music

Thoughts on Cover:

Another gorgeous live acoustic cover. December has been full of them on RtBE. Top notch vocals, guitar playing, harmonizing, this is a great Dylan cover. Breezy yet still affecting. Very enjoyable. 

 

Live Stream: The Milk Carton Kids - Holiday Live Stream

We are now heading into the new normal with live music. Live shows will need to be flexible and streaming is a great way to keep music going. Streams have become essential for live music junkies like RtBE.  We will highlight various shows/streams/virtual events for your viewing/listening pleasure. You can check out our weekly Full Show Friday series for concerts from the past and as always, please support the artists any which way you can.

Today's Stream: The Milk Carton Kids - Holiday Live Stream

Below we chat about some artists we are excited to catch down south in a few months.

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Albums Part 1 (Honorable Mentions & Let Downs)

Another year is finishing up and @RockBodElec wouldn't be a proper music site if we didn't end the year with a "Best Of" list, so RtBE presents 2025's Favorite Albums Part 1 (Honorable Mentions and Let Downs):

In the instance that RtBE has reviewed the album, either on this site or elsewhere, we will link to that review and just give a quick summation, click on the name/title and you can read our full opinion. RtBE also worked with the Glide Team to give input on their Top 20, so you can expect some overlap if you already have seen that list.

Again the focus here is on full albums, not singles, but long playing releases you can slap on and listen all the way through. We know these are a dying breed, but it still is the way we consume music, no shuffle, Spotify, AI curated playlists, or streaming for us.

These are the albums that just missed out on being included in our top ten favorite for the year (coming soon). After some excellent albums, we have a few releases from artists we dig, which we were let down by. 

Like all of our lists or 'best of'', these are meant to start conversations, not end them...

Live Review: The Hold Steady - 12/5/25 Brooklyn Bowl, Williamsburg NYC

The Hold Steady

12/5/25 Brooklyn Bowl, Williamsburg NYC

It is hard to believe The Hold Steady have been holding their annual Massive Nights celebration at Brooklyn Bowl for ten years now, since RtBE was there for the first one and we haven't missed a year since. 

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Archival Releases

Each year the music industry dips into the past to deliver box sets, live albums, re-masters and outtake collections to sell to the music loving masses (present company included). This look back will round up some of RtBE's favorite archival releases from the past year. 

Usually these releases can fall into the money grab category, not really adding much outside of revenue for the label and (hopefully) the artist. Every now and then though some spectacular collections are unearthed and are worth any price. 

RtBE includes live albums in this category, since they were recorded in the recent or distant past and thus fall into archival release status. 

With the increase in vinyl, and enhanced Record Store Days to help smaller sellers, there are more and more archival releases each year. RtBE are sure to miss a lot of them, but the quality and abundance is exciting. Post your favorites, or any we may have missed, in the comments. 

These were our favorite archival releases of 2025, click the link in the title for full reviews.

Album Review: Maggie Koerner - Upstate

Maggie Koerner

Upstate

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

Maggie Koerner's fourth album, titled Upstate, is a searching travelogue of heartbreak, pain, and abusive relationships, as Koerner is clearly trying hard to come out of it all stronger. 

Year In Review 2025 - Favorite Album Art

We kick off our Year in Review section of 2025 with the first feature in the Best of... wrap up: Album Art. 

Just like in years past, we will be choosing our favorite albums of the year, a few that were underwhelming, our favorite live shows, and highlight some fantastic archive releases, all of which will be posted over the next few days. 

Today we are starting out by judging books (records) by their covers (vinyl sleeves, jackets, digital pics, etc) with our Favorite Album Art Work of 2025.

The biggest gripe RtBE has with digital music is not the quality (that has been massively improved) nor the disposal nature of it (still a problem, but whatever), it is the lack of amazing album covers and art work.

Sure there may be great album art out there but seeing it on a screen, on Spotify or elsewhere is nothing compared to holding an LP or even a CD booklet with pages of lyrics, pictures etc. 

Thankfully the rise of vinyl is helping this dilemma but it is still not enough. The hours we spent staring, actually holding, examining tons of covers while listening to music can't be adequately recorded, it added new dimensions to the sounds. You are connected to album in a more physical way; things were deeper, more evocative...Anyways...

Here comes RtBE's Favorite Album Art of 2025. 

Album Review: Dr. John - Live at the Village Gate

Hey all, got a review up @glidemag which you can read Right C'here.

2026 New Orleans JazzFest Artist Predictions

The lineup for the 2026 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will be announced soon, but RtBE got the early scoop...

Album Review: Robert Finley - Hallelujah! Don't Let The Devil Fool Ya

Robert Finley

Hallelujah! Don't Let The Devil Fool Ya

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

Never one to do things the 'normal way' Robert Finley approached his first gospel album with no set material, just a sense of the lord speaking through him. What rolled out was, Hallelujah! Don't Let The Devil Fool Ya, a funky good time that has one foot in church, and the other one on the late night dance floor getting down with wild abandon. 

Dylan Cover #710 KneeDeep Band "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 KneeDeep Band 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?  

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

This is the second time we featured the KneeDeep Band in our Monday Dylan series as the Durham, NC trio are a fun acoustic folk group. 

Thoughts on Cover:

A great spin through the song, both lighthearted and serious. The trio harmonize very well and play great as they put a different spin on the original blues rocker. A touch of The Folksmen from A Mighty Wind, in a good way, as this song strolls out.  

New Single/Video from Black Polish "Yuna's Lullaby"

The Los Angeles based artist Black Polish has released a new video for their single "Yuna's Lullaby"

Album Review: Sabine McCalla - Don't Call Me Baby

Sabine McCalla

Don't Call Me Baby

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

New Orleans has been called "the northernmost Caribbean city" and on Sabine McCalla's debut full length album the singer/songwriter digs into this vibe.  Don't Call Me Baby floats along on warm wafting sounds from further south, digging into McCalla's Haitian roots before drifting up into the Gulf of Mexico and right into the Bywater of the Crescent City and beyond. 

RIP Steve Cropper

The legendary Steve Cropper has passed away, he was 84. 

Cropper was an architect of the American classic soul sound being a songwriter and producer for Stax Records. He was also the guitar player in the historic Booker T and the MG's.

Album Review: Esther Rose - Want

Esther Rose

Want

**** out of *****

The Santa Fe, NM based singer-songwriter Esther Rose's fifth album Want, on New West Records, is a intoxicating mix of dramatic folk, enchanting vocals, powerful lyrics and stout rocking. Rose's honest style and strong musicianship leads to an album that sticks around in the mind and ears long after it has finished spinning. 

New Single/Video from Bitter Branches "Basic Karate"

The Philadelphia based, post hardcore outfit Bitter Branches has a new single/video out "Basic Karate" on Equal Vision Records.

Album Review: Chris Lyons - Painters Street

Chris Lyons

Painters Street

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

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. 

Dylan Cover #709 Dan Owen "Ballad of Hollis Brown" 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 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'.    

Cover:


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...

New Single/Video Knotted Wood "Middle of Tomorrow"

The Greensboro, North Carolina based rock outfit Knotted Wood have a new single/video out for their tune "Middle of Tomorrow". 

Check out the tune, which has a touch of Cheap Trick influence to it, below:

Full Show Friday: Ascension - 01.03.2015 Berlin

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.

New Single Sydney Ross Mitchell "Cynthia"

The Los Angeles based singer/songwriter Sydney Ross Mitchell has a new tune out, "Cynthia".

About the song the artist states:

Happy Thanksgiving from RtBE!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Make sure you spend some time over this holiday doing what is truly important...Watching The Last Waltz:

For the gear heads reading this, here is an excellent run down of all the equipment used for this historic show.

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!

Live Review: The Last Waltz New Orleans 11/23/25 Civic Theater New Orleans, LA

The Last Waltz New Orleans 

11/23/25 Civic Theater New Orleans, LA

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.
