By the end of 2019, Dave Alvin knew something was wrong. He’d spent 11 of the past 12 months on the road, and for the first time in his career, he no longer felt physically capable of keeping up his furious touring pace.
“I started feeling like, ‘I don’t think I can do this anymore,’” Alvin says. The following month, in January 2020, he was hospitalized for nine days with a sepsis infection. By the next month, Alvin was feeling just barely good enough to perform at a benefit tribute show for...

Back in 2009, the Flatlanders released Hills and Valleys, their last album of original recordings. A dozen years later, the Texas trio of Butch Hancock, Joe Ely, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore reunite for a new record: Treasure of Love will be released July 9th.
The LP is technically the follow-up to 2012’s The Odessa Tapes, but that project consisted of unreleased recordings from the early Seventies. The 15 tracks on Treasure of Love are the product of a fresh recording session, primarily classic songs that have peppered the Flatlanders’ live set for the past five decades.

Ronee Blakley still remains better known to many as an actor than a singer-songwriter, thanks to screen appearances like her Oscar-nominated turn in “Nashville” and later appearance in “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” But she was releasing major-label albums in the early ’70s before a plum Robert Altman part landed her on the cover of Newsweek. Now she’s returning to music with her first non-soundtrack studio album in years, “Atom Bomb Baby,” which has just been released on digital services.
The album has a strong tie-in to another project that brought her back into the limelight last year: Martin Scorsese’s “Rolling Thunder Revue” documentary about the legendary Bob Dylan ensemble tour on which she was one of the top-billed performers. Before the tour commenced, Blakley was called into a recording studio for a seat-of-their-pants recording session for an epic single, “Hurricane,” about the plight of incarcerated boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter,...

Renowned Texas singer-songwriter/visual artist Terry Allen has announced Just Like Moby Dick, his first album since 2013’s Bottom of the World. Featuring his longtime Panhandle Mystery band, Just Like Moby Dick was co-produced by Charlie Sexton and includes songs co-written by Joe Ely and Dave Alvin.
Allen has released two previews of the album, including the plainspoken sing-along ballad “Death of the Last Stripper,” which recalls the songwriter’s evocative narratives on cult-classic albums like 1979’s Lubbock (On Everything). Additionally, Allen has put out the song “City of the Vampires.

As fanciful as Martin Scorsese’s new film about Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue of 1975 is, it doesn’t aim to turn truth into myth nearly as much as the infamous movie Dylan himself made during that period, “Renaldo and Clara” — in which the cast list had Ronee Blakley playing “Mrs. Dylan.” Whatever impish reasons he might have had for doing that, it was undoubtedly a sign of the affection Dylan had for Blakley, who’d come right off a promotional tour for Robert Altman’s “Nashville” onto his tour, with a quick stop to record his single “Hurricane.”
Blakley appears in archival footage and fresh interviews in the Netflix film “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese,” and she can also be heard singing with Dylan throughout the new 14-cd boxed set “Rolling Thunder: The 1975 Live Recordings.” She’s also known for her solo albums...

Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore don’t immediately make for the most obvious of pairings. Alvin is the mellow singer-songwriter and founding guitarist for the 80’s SoCal roots rockers the Blasters. Gilmore, over a decade his senior, is the hard-scrabble Texas songwriter best known as a member for the short-lived West Texas hippie-country pioneers the Flatlanders. But the two longtime friends decided to record an album togetherafter a brief co-headlining tour in 2017.

The FX show Justified has come to be regarded as one of the best dramas on television today, if not of all time. One staple of the show has been the song “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” starting up over the closing moments of the season, with the ending of Season 3 being a notable exception. The season 4 finale of the show revisited this tradition, with a third artist’s voice rising as the season drew to a close; with Darrell Scott’s version bookending the first season, and Brad Paisley’s version playing over the final scene of the second, the honours this time around went to Dave Alvin, who manages to infuse the song with a distinct energy that sets it apart from the previous versions used on the show. The song can be heard below in its entirety.

The key to any voyage into the twangy depths of this weekend's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is planning.
San Francisco's annual free celebration of bluegrass (and also not bluegrass) in Golden Gate Park, now in its 12th consecutive year, has gotten so popular that shuttling between stages to see all of your favorite bands can prove virtually impossible. Instead, the best idea is often just to get there early, pick a spot near the stage you're most interested in and stay there for the long haul.
(Scroll Down For Playlist And Lineup)
While the lineup was announced months ago, the actual full schedule, complete with set times, was only released recently. Essential planning's gotta all be done Right This Very Second.
Our top recommendations are Ben Kweller, Buddy Miller, Robert Earl Keen, The Dirty Three, the Heartless Bastards, Son Volt and Les Claypool's Duo De Twang. If you're curious as to why this is exciting,...

Spoiler Alert! This week’s episode of Justified, written by Nichelle Tramble Spellman and Dave Andron and directed by Don Kurt, raised Raylan’s stress level, the tension between Boyd and Quarles, and the season’s body count. As we’ll be doing each week throughout the season, we asked exec producer Graham Yost to take us inside the writers room.
Entertainment Weekly: After the season premiere, you said that we should remember Winona getting pulled over by a Kentucky State Trooper after Raylan was shot. We found out she was leaving him then. How do you think fans will feel about that revelation?...

In "The I of the Storm," Raylan and Winona go on a date to see Dave Alvin's band at a place that happens to be off the beaten path; he thinks she doesn't want anyone to see them together because she's still married. In fact, she isn't even sure about divorcing Gary because she thinks she and Raylan can never be happy together. (Flawed female-related logic that seems to be one weak spot in the show.) So they quickly descend from needing one another to facing the same old failure. Plus, sniper Gutterson happens to be across the bar -- so much for secrets, thinks Raylan.
His paranoia emerges when Art nods at Tim to Raylan, asking if he should be concerned. Raylan, flustered, starts stammering guiltily, thinking he's talking about Winona, when Art's just concerned about Gutterson's mental health after shooting a man. Gutterson does look zombified, but...

A truly strange cow punk flick, "Bad Day" just surfaced 24 years after it was shot by Modi Frank and Exene Cervenka of the L.A. punk band, X. It features legends like X bassist and frontman John Doe, The Flesh Eaters singer Chris D, and Grammy winner Dave Alvin, who also scored the film -- which is silent. Also featured, and this is probably the best part, are Michael Blake and Kevin Costner.
Blake would go on to win an Oscar for writing "Dances with Wolves" in 1990, which Costner directed and starred in, and also took home two Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture. But when "Bad Day" was shot in 1986, Costner was a punk who'd had his scenes deleted from "The Big Chill" and had only just appeared in Lawrence Kasdan's "Silverado." No small feat really, his role as Jake was memorable and a hero to every...

Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Doug Sahm, Dave Alvin and k.d. lang are but a few of the high-profile singer/songwriters whose catalogs include a Russell original (the man has been at it for nearly four decades, after all).

Dave Alvin, T-Bone Burnett, Bill Morrissey, Stan Ridgway and other surprise guests are gathering for three nights--May 1,2, & 3--at Santa Monica's McCabe's Guitar Shop to assist their friend and fellow musician Peter Case. Case, one of 1976's musical groundbreakers with the Nerves, was the leader of the Plimsouls and a three-time Grammy-nominated solo artist and producer. The weekend of music is to benefit the costs of Case's unexpected double bypass surgery, performed in Santa Monica in January. Emergency open-heart surgery was not on Case's itinerary this winter: he had just begun a session of his popular songwriting class at McCabe's and was preparing to celebrate his 25th Anniversary of solo performing at the intimate venue before...

As former bandmate and friend Dave Alvin points out in his liner notes, Chris Gaffney was a man who didn’t care much for boundaries or borders. Torn between his love of the classic country songs of George Jones and Merle Haggard and the pleading soul music of Otis Redding, Chris and his band The Hacienda Brothers simply split the difference. And that facile description doesn’t even begin to account for his love of accordion-driven norteño polkas or AC/DC balls-to-the-wall rock ‘n roll. Music programmers and record labels had no idea what to do with him. And so he lived in virtual obscurity, touring with Alvin from time to time, recording a handful of absolutely great but ignored solo albums and with his songwriting partner Dave Gonzales as part of The Hacienda Brothers, playing west coast dive bars on the weekends, and writing a couple hundred of the...

Dave Alvin has always been a creative figure out of time. His original band, the Blasters -- which he founded with his singer-frontman brother Phil in Los Angeles during the height of L.A.'s infatuation with the New Wave -- cranked a massive R&B jolt into unsuspecting audiences, and those audiences responded to such homespun music as if it were the most hardcore of punk.
