For this post I'd like to Thank Linda A Mahaffey, who's city, state & zip code i blocked out on her address label. If she hadn't bought this 45 so many years ago it might not have made it into my hands.

Austin Artist Watch: Dan Dyer


I was pleased to find out a couple years back that Dan Dyer has returned to Austin to spread some more of his gorgeous white boy soul to the Austin masses.  Back in around 1996, during my high school years, I first became acquainted with Dan’s angelic voice when he was employing it as the front man of Austin blues/rock/soul band Breedlove, also featuring Tyrone Vaughan-Fullerton, son of Austin legend Jimmie Vaughan, on guitar, Josh Dawkins on bass, Ezra Reynolds on the keys, and Jason White on


Rocking around Austin, Texas,Live Music Capital of the World


Back in 2005, when the hubby and I were deciding where in Texas we would settle, the music of the Lone Star State was a major consideration. Music has always been a big part of our lives, both well before we knew each other and especially since we've been a couple. When we were young and living in Lubbock, we were fortunate enough to see the early Flatlanders. We've been big fans of Joe, Butch and Jimmie Dale ever since. Being a college town, the Hub City was a regular stop for touring artists

JOE'S GARAGE: SCRUTINIZING THE STAGE INCARNATION OF FRANK ZAPPA'S RUDE DYSTOPIAN MASTERWORK


Jason Paige and the Utility Muffin Chorus bring the bawdy bile of Joe's Garage to brilliant lifeHow you react to the Open Fist Theater’s first-time-ever staging of Frank Zappa’s satirical rock opera Joe’s Garage, or even simply the news that director Pat Towne and producer/co-writer Michael Franco have taken on the long-thought-unstageable project, will depend almost entirely on your affinity/reverence for Zappa’s music. Attending Joe’s Garage is not likely to make a convert to appreciation for

Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan's Family Style Celebrates Music and Family


Stevie Ray Vaughan's collaboration with brother Jimmie Vaughan still amazes with its energy and musical virtuosity. When Texas tornado Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut album, Texas Flood, was released in 1982, it signaled a new era in blues music. Combining rock, blues, R&B, and pop, Vaughan seemed like the lovechild of B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix. With his band, Double Trouble, he recorded a followup, Couldn't Stand the Weather, which spawned the...

Willie Nelson at the Final BackYard Concert (10/26/08)


  Review:  Willie Nelson at the BackYard www.austin360.com by John T.
