Today is Canada Day, the national holiday of North America’s other, more icy power state, and to mark the event I thought it would be fun to write a feature piece. Now, I’m not Canadian, nor I have any connection what so ever with the maple state, however some of my most beloved artists hail [...]
I’m not sure there’s a modern rock band more steeped in the history of rock n’ roll than the Drive-By Truckers.

[tag]Neil Young[/tag]’s latest album Chrome Dreams II, a revived shelved 1977 project, is set to hit stores next week. It’ll undoubtedly at least be a decent addition to the Canadian musician impressive catalog, a catalog that many bands had the privilege to sample and cover. Georgia indie quintet Of Montreal is such a band, [...]
Canadian folk/rock legend [tag]Neil Young[/tag] has recently revealed, at his website, plans to release a new record called “Chrome Dreams II”. You might ask why the “II” ?
