HickoidsSome sweet new americana today, or maybe it’s better to call it roots rock, since americana is really a worn out term these days. Neko Case has a new record, as well as her bandmate from the Blacky Ranchette project, Richard Buckner. Mark Lanegan is back as well with a new record consisting entirely of covers aptly called Imitations. Let’s not forget the cow punk legends Hickoids from Austin who recently gave us two new records, one a cover record called Kicking It With The Twits and also Hairy Charin’ Ape Suit that contains new songs. Finally Dickinson brothers have a new record with the North Mississippi Allstars, called World Boogi Is Coming, which were one of the last words of their father Jim before he died. The record contains a new version of Brownsville with Sid Selvidge who recently passed away and who many years ago sang this tune also with Jim in Mud Boy and The Neutrons.

Kelly HoganUnfortunately, today we say goodbye to two great rock musicians who died recently. First of all, Tim Mooney who was in American Music Club passed away on June 15th. Then, most recently, Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord also passed away a month later, on July 16th. We remember them both today. Lil’ Band O’ Gold are also back with a new record after 12 years, this time dedicated to the good old Fats Domino. Redd Kross are back rocking their heads off with the new record called Researching The Blues. Luther Dickinson is quite busy recently. First he prepared a collection of live recordings that he and his brother recorded with his father Jim Dickinson shortly before his death. Also, there’s a new band for Luther himself, a supergroup The Wandering that consists of Shannon McNally, Amy LaVere, Valerie June and Sharde Thomas. Kevn Kinney is also busy. After his great solo record earlier this year, he also reformed his old band Drivin n’ Cryin’. Kelly Hogan, who we know from Jody Grind and as a backup singer for  is also back.

Neko CaseToday we examine what’s rock’n’roll and what’s not and what we like about it and what not… at least in first two songs, as Outrageous Cherry paraphrase Stones in one of the standout tracks on the new album Universal Malcontents. We also check out the new album for The Obits called I Blame You. We know the Obits from the 45 that they had earlier this year. We also have new album for Neko Case called Middle Cyclone. Neko’s songwriting is really in shape on this one, it’s a truly exciting new record. Dan Auerbach, the most famous rock’n’roll Ohioan today also has a new record entitled Keep It Hid. Another, less famous Ohioan, but well known to the regular listeners of this show, Derek Deprator has a new band called Ravenscroft and we check them out as the new demos are crawling out of the studio. And at last, we finish out with two new Homestead reissues – Big Dipper and Volcano Suns.
