Today we represent the brand new album by the phenomenal Memphis bass player Amy Lavere. She also participated in an interesting project called the 78 Project which is set around recording modern musicians by cutting directly onto a 78RPM acetate the way it was done back before the magnetic tapes were invented. The project was started by Lavinia Jones Wright and Alex Steyermark as a nod to the great American blues archivist Alan Lomax. We also check out the new tune recorded by Frank Black and the Catholics, inspired by the great SST band called Angst. Alvin brothers Dave and Phil, the founding members of the Blasters, are back together with a new album called Common Ground and it’s all about the Big Bill Broonzy old songs. Finally, we represent a piano and drum duet from Chicago, The Claudettes.
