Album Review: Johnny Cash - Songwriter
Given what they had to work with, co-producers John Carter Cash and David Ferguson probably did the best they could with Johnny Cash’s abandoned, 1993 album of original songs. That leaves the question as to why they decided to resurrect Songwriter more than 30 years after the fact, for, despite a latent classic in “Well Alright,” the posthumous LP is a weight on Cash’s legacy.
Songs such as “Hello out There” and “Drive On” are ethereal, with effects on Cash’s voice as he laments humanity’s failures and the Vietnam experience, respectively, and their production betrays their unfinished status. The Nashville Sound permeates the cheesy “I Love You Tonight” and “She Sang Sweet Baby James,” though the former is notable for being one of two Songwriter tracks to feature backing vocals from Cash’s former Highwaymen bandmate Waylon Jennings.
Other contributors include Dan Auerbach on “Spotlight,” Vince Gill on “Poor Valley Girl” and Marty Stuart on virtually everything. Despite the heavyweights’ good intentions, only the aforementioned “Well Alright,” a playful ditty about finding love in the laundromat driven by Cash’s signature boom-chuck-guitar, is a keeper.
The rest are worth borrowing for fans who want to check in on what Cash was up to just before the American Recordings albums came along.

Feature LP / Pure Prairie League - Bustin' Out (1972) / 5:30pm ET / 11-5-24
Bustin’ Out is the second studio album by American country rock band Pure Prairie League. Originally released by RCA Records in October 1972, the album garnered renewed interest almost 3 years after its release. By then, band leader Craig Fuller was no longer in the band due to draft board issues. “Amie” was first released as a single in 1973 and failed to chart. In early 1975 it again began…

♫ Amie ♫
As I mentioned a few nights ago, our friend Keith sent me an email with three song suggestions earlier this week, and today’s is the third of his titles!  (Feel free to send me some suggestions to help me out, friends!) This is one that a line or two periodically pop into my head for no particular reason, but I hadn’t given thought to the song in its entirety for a long time!  I’m generally not a…

Album Review: Tony Trischka - Earl Jam
Tony Trischka had no problem recruiting veterans and newcomers, traditionalists and modernists, to help bring his Earl Jam to life.
And that’s not surprising, considering Trischka built the arrangements around transcriptions of Earl Scruggs solos recorded during private jam sessions with John Hartford in the 1980s and ’90s that Trischka received during COVID-19 quarantine.
Billy Strings’ status as bluegrass’ future is confirmed as he leads a band including banjoists Trischka and Béla Fleck, mandolinist Sam Bush, fiddler Michael Cleveland and others on the LP-opening “Brown’s Ferry Blues.”
Later on, Bush supports another youngster, sharing vocal and instrumental duties with Molly Tuttle on “Dooley.” Yet another young voice in the old-time genre, Sierra Ferrell, is super-present with her voice from another time, fronting three of Earl Jam’s 15 cuts including “San Antonio Rose” and a stunning rendition of “Amazing Grace” with the McCrary Sisters adding support and whose reprise closes the album.
Veterans get involved, too, as Del McCoury and (most of) his eponymous Band take charge on “Roll on Buddy” and former Pure Prairie Leaguer and current Eagle Vince Gill sings the mournful “Bury Me Beneath the Willow.”
Vocalist Lindsay Lou; fiddlers Darol Anger, Brownyn Keith-Hynes, Brittany Haas and Stuart Duncan; mandolinist Dominick Leslie and Jacob Jolliff; guitarist Bryan Sutton; and others make cameos. Trischka, meanwhile, recreates Scruggs’ solos exactly as they unfolded on that lost-and-found recording to create a hybridized LP where sum and parts are equally impactful.

Pure Prairie League & Firefall – Capitol Theater – Wheeling, WV – September 1, 2023
Billed as "The Legends Of Country Rock" tour, Pure Prairie League and Firefall brought over 50 years of music to the Capitol Theater in Wheeling, WV. 
Tumblr media
Comprised of many of its founding original members, Firefall did a full 10-song opening set. Sounding very much like those tight harmonies on their records of the 1970's they included all their hits including "Goodbye, I Love You," "So Long," "Just Remember I Love You" and "Strange Way."
In many ways, Firefall was the "rock" end of this country/rock billing.
Tumblr media
Pure Prairie League has roots in the Ohio Valley, having been formed outside Columbus and finding early success in Cincinnati, took the stage in Wheeling with "Early Morning Riser" and continued through a long set of music touching their entire catalog of music including a new CD in the works.
From album cuts such as "I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle" and "Lucille Crawfield" to hits like "Let Me Love You Tonight," Pure Prairie League straddled the fence between flat out pop rock, to a sultry country vibe. This country side was even more prevalent on the show closer "Amie." Maybe the ghost of the stage they were playing on, and the history of country music on those boards over the decades had something to do with the way they were playing the songs, but all doubts were removed, when the audience called Pure Prairie League back for an encore and they obliged with "Pickin' To Beat The Devil" featuring the pedal steel guitar player on the extended ending.
Tumblr media
All in all, the show lived up to the "Legends Of Country Rock" billing and the audience was sent home fulfilled.
Firefall Setlist: Livin' Ain't Livin' / Just Remember I Love You / It Doesn't Matter / So Long / Cinderella / Sweet And Sour / You're Gonna Lose That Girl / Way Back When / Goodbye, I Love You / You Are The Woman / Strange Way / Mexico
Pure Prairie League Setlist: Kansas City Southern / Early Morning Riser / Angel #9 / Heart Of Her Own / I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle / Let Me Love You Tonight / Woman / Harvest / Jazzman / Call Me, Tell Me / Lucille Crawfield / Goodbye, So Long / Modern Problem / You Can't Put A Price On Love / Two Lane Highway / Amie / Encore: Pickin' To Beat The Devil
