He had no idea that the course of his life and work was about to be fundamentally […]
Howard Popeck writes: First things first, try and get hold of the biography of this tragic man, called “The Mighty Shadow” ISBN 0851125832. It is invaluable if you are a novice about this man and/or that era’s R&B. Yes, unappreciated seems to be appropriate here. I had a CD of “Live at Klooks Kleek”. This […]

Weinberger, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California at Irvine, explains how new research is beginning to reveal the […]
It’s a cliché because it’s true – the greatest records are timeless. Black Mountain’s self-titled debut album is just such a record.
