At 2 p.m. today we ship the possibly final issue of Editor & Publisher from our office here at Astor Place in NYC. For the record, it is the January 2010 issue, so we made it into our 126th year, at least.

As I scope out Denver's upcoming concerts, checking the calendar for any hint or mention of an act associated with blues, jazz, gospel or old school soul, I am left feeling a bit stranded.

Rosanne Cash has never been more naked as an artist than she is today. Her new album The List isn't the record of a deteriorating relationship like Interiors. It's just her as a singer.

What I love about a U2 concert, headlined by the Irish tenor with the sunglasses, is how it achieves such a powerful combination of art and social justice, music and message; and all with such fun.

In a tough economy, with music lovers thinking twice before going to see their favorite acts, the BonTaj Roulet Tour by Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal is blazing new green ground in raising money for charities.

Anytime I put myself into a new creative environment, the voices start appearing. You know the ones I'm talking about. They say you're not good enough, not creative enough, not talented, fun or smart enough

Steely Dan wraps up its series of New York concerts (the Rent Party '09 Tour) at the Beacon Theatre this week proving that their music remains as timeless as ever.

It's a kind of guitar summit, with the three guitarists sitting around in overstuffed chairs on a platform in the middle of an L.A. soundstage, talking about electric guitars and playing them.

I've found that if you're equipped with a decent home theatre and quality speakers, it's hard to go wrong with a rock concert film.

Mike Stoller and his writing partner Jerry Leiber are a songwriting team for which the description "legendary" was coined. Even if their names are not familiar to you, you've heard their music.

Hundreds of thousands of kids, whose only place to buy records is a Wal-Mart cannot now buy the new Green Day album. Case closed. Sounds a lot like censorship to me.

After everyone delivered a solid performance on Big Band Night last week, the Top 4 tackled rock 'n roll Tuesday...and came up short.

The Woggles are one of Athens, Georgia's great rock bands, and they're one of the most fun bands you'll ever see.
David Wild | Posted 05.02.2009 | Entertainment
For too long, rock has celebrated the distance between the rock star and the rock fan, while country has generally emphasized the common ground.
