IMG_2833.JPG Originally uploaded by lownight66 Exene Cervenka along with Cindy Wasserman played songs from her new cd in Brooklyn the other day. While these hipsters were in their diapers Exene was charting a course in music back in the late 70’s that hadn’t been seen before. What had been labeled punk really was an amalgamam of country, rockabilly, pop, and poetry delivered over Marshall stacks and a driving beat. They called it punk but that was really a simplification used to sell it to wayward teenagers... [Read the full story]

Since launching his solo career in 1990 with the dusty road-poetry of Meet John Doe, John has produced six stunning roots rock albums of frightening honesty and vision. A Year in the Wilderness is no exception. This time around, John has invited his friends... [Read the full story]
