Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Whiskeytown / Twenty (Article)
Monday, July 21, 2014
Through the marvel that is social media, I noticed that a bunch of Athens, GA musicians are putting together a tribute show next month centered around Whiskeytown's second LP, 1997's "Strangers Almanac". This, naturally, led to my pulling out the record and later putting together this week's playlist - twenty tracks spanning Whiskeytown's three (official) full-length releases, including bits from both the "Faithless Street" and "Strangers" reissues. And while all three records have aged exceptionally well, I have to wonder what a post-"Pneumonia" Whiskeytown record would have sounded like had

Rhino Factoids: Jimi Hendrix Bids The Monkees Adieu (Article)
Thursday, July 17, 2014
47 years ago today, one of the most unlikely bills in rock history came to a formal conclusion, but given the way the opening act was treated by the audiences who’d come to see the headliner, it was clearly a mercy killing. Picture it: 1967, New York, where Micky Dolenz is attending a Monkees press junket. After being informed that he absolutely must see a performance at a nearby club, where a guitarist plays with his teeth, Dolenz pops by the club and gets exactly what he’s been promised. Fast-forward to the Monterey Pop Festival, where – as Dolenz recalled in a 2013 interview with Guitar

Mono Mondays: Dr. John, Babylon (Article)
Monday, July 14, 2014
Last month, you may have noticed that we released a big ol’ seven-album set collecting Dr. John’s Atco output from 1968 through 1974, but if you’re not really familiar with the good Doctor’s output, then we can understand if you found the idea of plunking down that much dough a little bit intimidating. If you’re looking for a gateway drug into the Dr. John sound, though, you’re in luck, because this week’s Mono Monday release is…well, it’s not necessarily the best of all possible entry points into his catalog – it certainly doesn’t have what you’d call a mainstream sound – but one thing’s for

Pre-Order: Grateful Dead - Spring 1990 (The Other One) (Article)
Friday, July 11, 2014
"If every concert tells a tale, then every tour writes an epic. Spring 1990 felt that way: an epic with more than its share of genius and drama, brilliance and tension. And that is why the rest of the music of that tour deserves this release, why the rest of those stories need to be heard." - Nicholas G. Meriwether Some consider Spring 1990 the last great Grateful Dead tour. That it may be. In spite of outside difficulties and downsides, nothing could deter the Grateful Dead from crafting lightness from darkness. They were overwhelmingly triumphant in doing what they came to do, what they did

Digital Roundup: 7/9/14 (Article)
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Big Daddy, Cruisin’ Through the Rhino Years: To call Big Daddy a cover band is to come nowhere close to describing how much fun it is to hear these guys tackle tunes by everyone from Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles to Survivor and Sir Mix-a-Lot in the style of rock ‘n’ roll artists from the ‘50s and early ‘60s. Their Wikipedia page suggests that they were “among the first groups to create mash-ups,” and while that phrasing makes them sound perhaps a bit more important to music history than they really are, Big Daddy certainly has a gift for melding

Playlist: Lewis Watson's Favorite Songs (Article)
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Rising English singer-songwriter Lewis Watson released his debut album THE MORNING earlier this week and still found time to dig up some of his top tunes for a playlist for the Official Rhino Spotify app. This playlist contains some of the songs that I'm sure I will always absolutely love - songs that have molded the way I look at songwriting and my ambitions as a songwriter. If I could write a song that would make somebody else feel a tenth of what I feel when I listen to these songs, I'd hang up my boots and say 'done.' - Lewis Watson

Doing a 180: Syd Barrett, Saturday Night Fever, and Ronnie James Dio: This Is Your Life (Article)
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
It’s not what you’d call a hard and fast rule, but when we post an entry in our “Doing a 180” feature to spotlight a new release on 180-gram vinyl, we generally tend to only spotlight one artist at a time. This week, though, we’re playing a little bit of catch-up, so we’re combining a couple of releases into a single piece, a la our weekly Digital Roundup, so hopefully you’ll forgive us for trying to condense what would ordinarily be a trio of posts into a single entry, and please trust us when we tell you that they’re all very much worthy of their own posts…particularly this first one.
