On Duane Betts' 'Isle of Hope,' the bright moments, most of them instrumental, merely interrupt the mainly sluggish performances of somewhat formulaic arrangements overseen by studio supervisor Dave Cobb. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/326440/duane...

The volumes released so far collectively trace the astonishing range of styles Miles Davis pioneered following 'Birth of the Cool' and his later adventures through hard bop, modal jazz, fusion, and beyond. glidemagazine.com/325971/miles...

Someone that has been a professional musician for 30 years just testified they have never heard a musician make a political speech. I've been alive for 26 years and can make a long long list of musicians that have made political statements.

The tenth anniversary of 'Fallen Angels' is a worthy reminder that not everything Bob Dylan does (or has done) is truly provocative. glidemagazine.com/325813/ten-y...

Gregg Allman’s self-assurance and pride in his work is too obvious to ignore throughout the third edition of concert recordings from the late Southerner’s vault, this one captured on January 11, 1986. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/324360/gregg...

Now 45 years old, the Grateful Dead’s live album 'Reckoning' is a prime example of the newfound inspiration the band experienced with the recruitment of keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Brent Mydland. glidemagazine.com/324113/45-ye...

Disappointed this past Monday 3/30 watching @thedailyshow.com where no mention was made of John Perry Barlow's connection to @gratefuldead during the interview?!?!?

This landmark version of Robin Trower's 'Live!' not only reimagines the original, but renders it obsolete. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/323994/an-of...

50 years later, Led Zeppelin's 'Presence' offers relatively unembellished, deceptively intense performances that comprise what is arguably the most true-to-life record this quartet ever issued. glidemagazine.com/324047/50-ye...

The versatile guitar hero Robben Ford impresses mightily on 'Two Shades of Blue' as well, this despite dividing his time between singing and playing. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/323808/robbe...

With 35 years of hindsight, R.E.M.’s 'Out of Time' sounds like even more of a vast stylistic departure from its predecessors than at the time of its original issue. glidemagazine.com/323327/35-ye...

Trump's mixed messaging on wanting to end his war. Trump’s gushes over Putin amid reports Russia may be helping Iran target U.S. troops, Trump family grifting, Epstein files updates, and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

Pat Metheny's latest album is filled with bright, fluid guitar abounds, underpinned by limber rhythm work full of flourishes that only serve to emphasize the stability of the arrangement as well as the performance. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/322689/side-...

And vis a vis a previous post about #thedailyshow's #jonstewart overlooking the triumphant USA women's hockey team, I have to confess some disillusionment with #desilydic: she made no reference to her sisters in her bit and just yucked it up on a dimwitted level instead...C'MON NOW!?!?!?!?!?

I would like to suggest that #jonstewart committed an egregious oversight on #thedailyshow last night: in the bitt about USA hockey triumphs HE NEVER MENTIONED THE WOMEN'S TEAM...that also won gold and did so likewise in overtime--thought you were an enlightened rogue Jon!?!?...
