...once, the guest speaker was no glad-handing, suited D.C. operative: it was Stephen Stills, the folk-rock icon of the 1960s and 70s. He delayed taking out his guitar in order to first sing the praises of Sen. John F. Kerry—and proved that music and political idealism are still perfect bedmates...

...most fertile areas for East-West cross-pollinations is music. At S.O.B.'s in New York City, Rekha Malhotra, a.k.a.

From the first fast-picking banjo song to the last swinging ballad, Leftover Salmon uses this disc to showcase their diversity and song-writing capability. Any listener can appreciate the spectrum of sound with songs like the sure folk rock hit, “Woody Guthrie,” and the Southern fried “Keep On Walkin.” The album delightfully maintains an impressive sense of cohesion and style. Instead of leading you astray, each track offers a different road to walk down and a different mood to discover...

...Barlow’s musical span of attention has never been very long. That’s part of why he bounced around in so many bands in the 90s: Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Sentridoh, the Folk Implosion, most recently, a solo record. The man has proved impossible to pin down for any extended period of time. But now he has reconvened with bassist and songwriter Jason Lowenstein to tour as Sebadoh, the masthead of his most prolific and beloved act. Lowenstein and Barlow were brought together for the 10th anniversary celebration of British label Domino Records, whose first release...
