Bringing It All Back Home – Bob Dylan

There’s a simplicity in their music that is somewhat deceptive, because while they write these contagiously likeable melodies there is much greater depth in the honesty of their lyrics. For that reason the Lumineers owe more to folk as a genre than rock n roll. The back story on this band began with two guys – Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah … [Read more...]

Our Biggest Fan Hasn’t Been Born Yet. Ordinarily that might seem like an audacious statement, but when it comes from the lips of Lane Harry you know that he’s not posturing, he really means it. As … [Read More...]
