Crazy Horse Guitarist: "This Might Be Our Last Tour"

"I'm 64 and I'm the baby of the band"

Rolling Stone reports: "Crazy Horse guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro has been playing with Neil Young for 40 years, but he's worried their current world tour might be the last one. "I just think once it stops it's going to be kind of hard to get it rolling again," he says on the phone from his home in Hawaii. "My gut tells me this is really the last tour. I hate saying their ages, but I'm 64 and I'm the baby of the band. I love playing and we're playing as good as we ever did, but at any time something could go down with any one of us.""

CSNY to Release 1974 Live Album After Almost 4 Decades

if you do the "math"

Rolling Stone reports: "After years of work, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are finally gearing up to release a live album from their 1974 reunion tour. "It's going to come out August 27th," Graham Nash tells Rolling Stone. "It's going to fuckin' stun people. We only multi-tracked eight or nine shows from the tour, and we've chosen the best from those gigs. We've had to do a little tuning, but not that much . . . But the spirit of the band! If I take myself out the band and look at it, it was a fuckin' great band.""

Levon Helm Documentary Captures Last 3 Years of His Life

DVD release planned for this summer

Rolling Stone reports: "One night in August 2008, Levon Helm sat in his kitchen in Woodstock, New York after playing a Midnight Ramble gig in his barn, smoking some "northern Californian organic" and sharing stories with friends like Billy Bob Thornton and Chris Robinson. When the party cleared out and only Thornton was left, the actor raised the subject of the Band and the backlash they received from critics starting with their third album, Stage Fright."

Latest CD Review

  • Ian McFeron Time Will Take You Self Released, 2013

    With a jingle of tambourine we get a likely candidate for album of the year – simple as. There is absolutely nothing, and I do mean nothing not to like. With a band comprised of Ryan’s Cardinals, alongside players from Patti Griffin and John Hiatt you’d expect nothing less. It’s the good bits of Dylan for sure, and Mellancamp – even bits of Lennon. There is an undercurrent of Petty in places, mostly it is just the best thing I’ve heard in a while.
