Jackson Browne at Palace Theatre, Columbus, Ohio, June 3, 2023
With a fat songbook so packed with quality deep cuts and hits that he can’t possibly play all - or even most - of them, Jackson Browne walked on stage unannounced and by his lonesome June 3 in Columbus and kicked off his U.S. tour with …
… a solo-electric cover of Warren Zevon’s “Don’t Let Us Get Sick.”
It was an unexpected, gutsy and successful move that immediately won over the nearly sold-out Palace Theatre. It elicited warm applause as Browne sang Zevon’s prayer and immediately established his 74-year-old voice is much younger than its chronological age:
Don’t let us get sick, don’t let us get old/don’t let us get stupid, all right/just make us be brave and make us play nice/and let us be together tonight
It set the tone for a loose evening that found Browne engaging with the audience, teasing his guitar tech and heaping well-deserved praise upon the members of his freshly pared-down group.
After the Zevon number, Browne brought out his powerhouse “half-full band” - Greg Leisz (Watkins Family Hour, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros) on lap steel, acoustic and electric guitars; his wife, Mai Leisz, (David Crosby) on bass; drummer Mauricio Lewak; and singers Chavonne Stewart and Alethea Mills (who doubled on percussion) - and got right down to business with the show proper, which was generous across 60- and 90-minute sets.
Saying “I wanna play them all,” but knowing he couldn’t possibly do so, Browne, who accompanied his bandmates on acoustic and electric guitars and piano, did cover 49 years of music making, crafting a setlist that spanned from 1972’s “Doctor My Eyes” to 2021’s “Downhill from Everywhere,” a warning about the oceans’ fragile health and one of many highlights of the evening.
The reggae-tinged “I Am a Patriot” was another. Though released in 1985, the song seems to have intuited where the United States was headed. And Browne added some new lyrics - I ain’t no xenophobe, he sang - to place it even more firmly in the context of 2023.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Band members came and went to suit the songs. Stewart and Mills - who sang beautifully on occasional co-leads and in harmony with Browne, with whom they’ve developed an almost-familial blend - left their riser and joined the songwriter down front for “Until Justice is Real.” Greg Leisz and Browne played as a steel-and-piano duo on “Walls and Doors” and the (half) full band dug into “Running on Empty” so deeply that Browne kicked his leg high in the air and turned to stare down Leisz as he offered his take on the solo made famous by David Lindley, who died earlier this year.
Tumblr media
Being the first night of the tour with a new band and a new set, there were a few hiccups. A muffed note here. Some not-quite-honed arrangements there. The occasional false start and botched lyrics. And Leisz’s pedal-steel guitar sat lonely and untouched all evening long, suggesting Browne was calling audibles as the night unfolded.
Someone wanting to hear the records in a concert hall might say these things were evidence of Browne losing his edge. Someone out for the without-a-net experience (put Sound Bites in this camp) might revel in the not-set-in-stone nature that led to such surprises as Browne deciding the first set wasn’t long enough and tacking “For Everyman” on to the end and causing Mai Leisz to run back on stage after assuming break time had come.
Tumblr media
The same thing happened to Greg Leisz at show’s end, when Browne opted to play “The Load-Out”/“Stay” and the multi-instrumentalist - who wowed Browne and the concertgoers all evening long - struggled to get his lap steel situated on time. He made it with less than a bar to spare and Browne rewarded Leisz by calling on him to extend his solo, which he did to rapturous applause.

The 90's of Prince presented us with the problems the superstars of the previous eras had despite the fact most of them had many favourable circumstances then. Still, there were some cases, such as The Beach Boys, which made you sigh then. The group I mentioned, for instance, had a reputation, though the latter was built on their past. Stars & Stripes Vol. 1 showed that and, to be honest, they did have a correct idea, i.e. they covered their own hits with some modern country singers. However, they botched this principle immensely, because the entire thing feels like a fan karaoke at some times. Sure, there are some collaborations, such as the piece you hear on the link, where you can trace the best possible version of Stars & Stripes Vol. 1. Sadly, even these settled for good enough.

Album Review: Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros - Live in Colorado, Vol. 2
Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros’ Live in Colorado, Vol. 2 captures the band near the beginning of its run with the Wolfpack, a five-piece horns-and-strings section that allows for some terrific inclusions.
The first is the full “Terrapin Station Suite,” a 20-minute trip made possible and entirely worthwhile by the Wolfpack. Drummer Jay Lane, double bassist Don Was, pianist Jeff Chimenti and pedal steeler Greg Leisz pull off the challenging selection with precision and grace, while the Wolfpack colors (mostly) inside the lines.
Another is the interesting segue of “Eyes of the World” -> “What’s Going On” -> “Eyes.” While Weir’s attempt at singing Marvin Gaye is pretty rough, his admonition: Culture war’s not the answer is a message everyone should heed.
Recorded in the titular state in July 2021, the seven-track LP finds the Rocky Mountain crowd singing along mightily on numbers like “Brokedown Palace” and “Ripple.” Thankfully, they are stone silent on “The Days Between,” which Weir absolutely nails and the Wolfpack bolsters beautifully.
The backing vocals, predictably, are atonal throughout, but the musical performances make up for that on this superior followup to Vol. 1.

You have noticed I mentioned one member of Matchbox Twenty a lot. Then again, he's the frontman and the main songwriter, so this does make sense. However, I think that the group became seen as a solo vehicle for him thanks to Rob Thomas' lucrative side gig of penning the tunes for other people, which happened after his collaboration with Santana. I ask myself how many of these pieces were meant for Matchbox Twenty. I mean, check the tune on the link by Willie Nelson to contemplate the possibility. Since you noticed – yes, he cooperated with him, though the works they did together sound better in theory than in practice. Then again, the sheen of the early noughts are the reason for such a view, I assume them calling Rick Rubin would've been a more interesting option.

Ryan David Orr Releases Highly Anticipated Album, The New Imperials
Tumblr media
 Ryan David Orr, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, has announced the release of his latest album, The New Imperials. The album, which features 10 brand new tracks is Orr's most ambitious project to date. The New Imperials is a deeply personal album that showcases Orr's exceptional songwriting skills and his ability to create emotive and resonant music. The album is a blend of indie-folk and alt-country, with elements of rock and Americana woven throughout. Orr's lyrics are introspective and thought-provoking, exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption. Orr's signature raspy voice is perfectly complemented by the lush arrangements of the album, which were produced by Grammy-nominated producer, Joe Chiccarelli. The album features a host of talented musicians, including drummer Matt Chamberlain, bassist Jennifer Condos, and pedal steel player Greg Leisz. "I'm thrilled to finally share The New Imperials with the world," said Orr. "This album is the result of years of hard work and creative exploration. It's an album that's close to my heart, and I can't wait for people to hear it." The New Imperials is the follow-up to Orr's critically acclaimed album, Suffering Season, which was released in 2019. Since then, Orr has been busy writing and recording new music, and The New Imperials is the culmination of those efforts.  The album is available on all major streaming platforms.

Brian is one of your favorite drummer's favorite drummers. On this album, however, he does a lot more than play drums. All songs written by Brian, and he sings and plays guitar as well. One of my all-time favorite albums, demonstrating great songwriting, musicianship, pocket, and collaboration. Just appeared on Spotify, years after I lost my CD. Featuring: Daniel Lanois (produced U2), Kelly Jones, Aaron Embry, Goffrey Moore, Jon Cowherd (incredible pianist from Blade Fellowship band), Greg Leisz, Christopher Thomas, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Rocco Deluca, John Bigham, Daryl Johnson (extreme pocket bassist), Patrick Smith
