A Look at the Polaris Long List: 8. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings – Kings and Queens

This roots/country ‘super-group’ project features guest appearances by Emmylou Harris, Roseanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, Mary Margaret O’Hara and more (?) perplexing Exene Cervenka (of legendary LA punk band, X), Patty Scialfa (aka Bruce Springsteen‘s fellow band-mate and wife) and jazz singers, Cassandra Wilson and Holly Cole.

Every time I hear a ‘critically-acclaimed’ country album, I hope it will be one referencing the more vintage/traditional country sound in the same way Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones reference vintage soul music sounds in their music, but (a few songs near the end excepted), this sounded like slightly better-than-average contemporary, mainstream, country radio fare to my ears, which leaves me cold for the most part. Kind of a let-down considering the pedigree and wattage of the star power involved in this project. Disappointing….

  10. Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform
    like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..
    Any recommendations? Thank you!

  14. I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
    like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you
    did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  15. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of
    the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and
    am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
