  1. Bobby McFerrin, Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau break barriers at Symphony Center

    Is there any kind of music that Bobby McFerrin does not sing?

  2. Grace Potter takes fame in her own hands

    Grace Potter is well aware of the evanescence of fame and the kind of physical beauty that gets you noticed. So as the decade-in-the-making overnight success story of her band, the Nocturnals, has finally reached pop-culture critical mass, Potter is grabbing opportunity with both hands.

  3. City Lights: A list for why this recovering list addict is going list-less (from now on)

    Now that Christmas is over, I have a new seasonal tune stuck in my head. Maybe it wasn't intended as a holiday song, but it's one I often find myself humming around the end of December and start of January: "Nothing Was Delivered," an obscure Bob Dylan track from 1967 whose chorus opines, "Nothing is better, nothing is best / Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest."

  4. Life Out Here: Country music, country roads

    It’s a crisp winter morning in the Imperial Valley, and I’m driving south to work on La Brucherie Road listening to bluegrass singer Gillian Welch’s “The Harrow and the Harvest,” maybe the best American roots album in recent memory, maybe the best album in recent memory in general.

  5. Miranda Lambert: country music's feisty firecracker

    Country music might have a history of making its women play by the rules. But Miranda Lambert has made a career of speaking her mind.

  8. Album of the Day 12/6/11: David Wax Museum - Everything Is Saved

    I have devised a pretty awesome system for randomly selecting the album of the day.&nbsp; However, every now and then I cheat and simply pick an album I want to spend the day with, either because I have a particular song stuck in my head or because I just really want to hear it.&nbsp; Today that album comes from Boston's David Wax Museum.

  12. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings have four things going for them

    The volume seemed to be turning up: Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings were moving away from acoustic austerity, growing comfortable rocking out. Their last album, &quot;Soul Journey," saw these Nashville alt-folkies jolting their sound with electricity and a backbeat. Rawlings has stepped out as a producer &#8212; indie rockers Bright Eyes, the shambling Old Crow Medicine Show &#8212; and the duo guested on the Decemberists' breakout, "The King Is Dead." Could this mid-career acoustic duo &#8212; in its first release in eight years &#8212; be ready for a similar lunge into the mainstream?
