Bobby Weir and Friends Make their Debut - and Probable Swansong
- Free portion of stream features Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and David Nelson
An amalgam of old Bros and new Friends, with some guests filtering in and out of the party, Bob Weir’s latest band - a one-off - celebrated a half-century of California’s Sweetwater music venue.
Four songs from the Nov. 17 Bobby Weir and Friends show/stream were given away and reveal a group understandably under-rehearsed but gamely doing its thing for the lucky few who managed to get inside the tiny hall.
Ramblin’ Jack Elliott emerged for “Mule Skinner Blues” and the 91-year-old proved one is never too old to yodel and play some gee-tar.
“There’s only one,” Weir said as Elliott departed and New Rider of the Purple Sage David Nelson (electric guitar and vocals) and mandolinist Lorin Rowan arrived for “Friend of the Devil.”
These were skeletal arrangements befitting a new group - Friends Jason Crosby and Samson Grisman joined Bros Jay Lane and Barry Sless - that will likely never grow old.

The show opened sans guests with a slow and atonal reading of “Jack Straw,” followed by a version of “Big River” that flowed down its well-carved channel in a unique, bouncy arrangement that served the song quite well, making it unrecognizable until the vocals began.

What Is Your Most Precious Possession?
Two artists wandering the Venice Biennale asked people about their "most precious possession." Here's my answer. What's yours?
Leonardo da Vinci, Adoration of the Magi (1481).
What is your most precious possession? This was the question posed by two British artists in their random encounters with strangers at the Venice Biennale. For three days in April, Neil Musson and Jono Retallick wandered about the art festival venues literally clothed in the question, printed in various languages on their white smocks. Whenever a…

Lucinda Williams has recorded lots of country- and soul-flavored music over her four-decade career, but her heart has always been in rock, a fact she reaffirms on her effusive latest CD, her first collection of new material since 2020’s Good Souls Better Angels. Like that album, the just-released Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart was co-produced by the singer, her husband Tom Overby, and country…

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, Coen brothers)
14/02/2024
Inside Llewyn Davis is a 2013 film directed and written by Joel and Ethan Coen and starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman.
The film is inspired by the life of folk singer Dave Van Ronk, active in New York in the sixties.
It participated in competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Grand Prix.
New York, February 1961: Llewyn Davis is a struggling young folk singer whose recent solo album, Inside Llewyn Davis, was a flop; being without money and nowhere to go, he sleeps on the sofas of friends and acquaintances. One evening, after playing at the Gaslight Café in Greenwich Village, he is beaten at the back of the venue by a mysterious and rude individual for reasons not immediately specified.
He subsequently accepts Jim's proposal to record a new song, agreeing to be paid immediately 200 dollars in exchange for the transfer of the copyright, in order to have the money for the abortion.
The young man accepts a ride to Chicago in the company of the laconic poet Johnny Five and the grumpy heroin-addicted jazz musician Roland Turner; during the trip he reveals that his musical partner, Mike Timlin, committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.
In an expanded version of the film's opening scene, Davis performs at the Gaslight and Pappi reports to him that a "friend" is waiting for him in the back; Davis then watches a young Bob Dylan perform on stage.
The film starts from the Coen's reflection on the rebirth of interest in folk music in the sixties, and in particular that despite the genre's exquisitely rural identity, in that period it was followed above all in a metropolis like New York, and that so all its major performers were natives, like Brooklyn's Dave Van Ronk and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.
When writing the screenplay, the pair of directors drew mainly from Van Ronk's autobiography, published posthumously in 2005, The Mayor of MacDougal Street but, even before starting to write it, the Coens had started from a single idea: imagine Van Ronk getting beaten up outside Gerde's Folk City in the Village.
Producer Scott Rudin, who had previously worked with the Coens on True Grit and No Country for Old Men, collaborated on the project. StudioCanal helped the production financially in the absence of a US financier/distributor.
On May 9, 2013, shortly before the presentation of the film at the Cannes Film Festival, the red band trailer and a new poster were also released.
The soundtrack was curated by T Bone Burnett, songwriter, producer and Oscar winner for the song The Weary Kind, and by Marcus Mumford.

Todd Snider Pulls out of Ramblin’ Jack Elliott Tribute
- Show is scheduled for Jan. 28 in San Francisco
Todd Snider pulled out of the Jan. 28 Ramblin’ Jack Elliott tribute show in San Francisco as he continues to recover from a 2023 operation.
“Although (it) was successful, his doctors have advised him not to sing or perform until his body has entirely healed from the procedure,” reads a statement from Snider’s camp.
“Thank you all for being so understanding and for all the love and support everyone has been sending. Todd is really looking forward to seeing y’all and playing shows again as soon as possible.”
Rickie Lee Jones, Rodney Crowell, John Oates, Maria Muldaur and Jackie Greene are among the performers still slated for the Elliott celebration.
Snider begged off a string of late-’23 shows with Patty Griffin when he announced his unspecified medical issue; his next scheduled gig is April 13 in Missouri.
