la buena noticia es que Chuck Prophet está vivo, y quien sabe, si de paso cañazo puede haber despertado algunos que de verdad murieron. Le puso un sabor a cumbia muy especial a su nuevo disco. Se hizo un picnic con unos ritmos latinos, que lo hacen sonar todo locamente bien. el diario de galgomundo en el 20 del penúltimo mes, después del empate con el que nos fuimos a dormir, y el domingo tenemos que salir de otro, delgado o angosto, coalición de partidos o amplio el frente. Discuten en un día de miércoles entre patos y ningún ganso, apenas unas pesadillas. Faltan mucho más que once para las once y once. El ritmo de Chuck Prophet, cuando habla con el doctor, este le dice que puede haber visto un fantasma donde antes hubo otro disfrazado de eternidad. Arriba de la mesa, en la casa del galgo, el libro del que tiene los incendios que me esperan en Charco. Rock Springs y el segundo intento hasta llegar al final del cuento de los fuegos de artificio. Me cuesta escribir esas propuestas para los que empujan al galgo para que ruede mejor. Los Larrique rulemanes que hacen los discos girar los tiene. Hace falta prender los fuegos, que vengan los truenos, el sol, y poder imaginarse como todo puede ser. Primero que vengan los truenos, y luego todo lo demás. No puede hacer más largo todo esto, hay algo en la casa del galgo mañana. Sally pudo haber sido una policía, y Alejandro Escovedo que una vez se pegó un susto con la muerte también, escribió con Chuck Prophet que estuvo girando en música a las seis y ahora en el diario de galgomundo en un día de miércoles, escribieron juntos esta hace unos varios años, cuando eran animales reales, de alguna parte de Califronia, capaz que cerca de San Francisco, las tumbas de sus padres y mothers of invention, no muy lejos de donde todo este mercenario discos de amantes del rock se grabó. Si conocen a Alejandro Escovedo bien, tiene unos discos buenos del pasado y hasta algunos buenos del presente que me pude haber perdido, pero los puedo encontrar cualquier día cuando logre hacer esto mismo que hago ahora, que tenía mucho sentido, como escuchar un disco de principio al final. Con lo mucho que me gusta el Sha, Sha, la, la, de este que tiene el nombre de Despierten los muertos, puedo ir a buscar donde darle el clic antiguo, de pedirlo por internet, y que me llegue por correo. Dicen que van a colgar unos cuadros mañana en la casa del galgo, y yo debería de tener un lugar, como el que había arriba de la barra cuando pegaba la curva y cuatro parlantes que no tienen porque venir de nuevo méxico, pero sí habría que dejarlos colgados para antes de que este año se termine, para antes de que comience el último mes del buen año. Pintar la pared de blanco otra vez, pasar por arriba lo que se pintó el año pasado. Deseo que haya peces pintados, y estar mirando a los pájaros que pintan en la pared, del cumple de cinco de la hermana del que cumplió 16 el 14 del penúltimo. Mismo crimen, el buen año que se nos va, y el sabático que se viene. Nuevo gobierno, o viejo conocido. No hay discusión en la forma de vivir, no hay dulce condena. Y todo lo que estuve haciendo todo este tiempo, fue dejar el disco de Chuck Prophet en play. Deje colgado a Alejandro Escovedo que es amigo de Chuck, y muy seguramente de la banda de Chuck que se llama la misión expresa, si es que Mision Express, se traduce exactamente de ese modo. Con lápiz labial escribe, no hay testigo, no hay crimen. La hermana del alma perdida es de Escovedo. Muriendo todos jóvenes es de aquel disco con el negocio del dolor con el que conocí por primera vez a este que canta con los quien sabe? Había que trepar una escalera para verte, cantaba Ale Escovedo, cuando Chuck se iba a ver una cualquiera al cine. Está sentado en la primera fila, y ya sabe que ella es suya. Que todos los políticos toman en el club que no es del partido. Azúcar en el agua, estoy trepando, tus escalones, podemos convertir esta canción en oro, no hay dudas, pero nunca los van a postular a uno de esos que puedan enmarcar como uno de Tom Petty que dice into the great wide open. Las últimas dos la cumbia aparece más fuerte, los solos de guitarras son buenos, pero hay muchas más cosas de la percusión y los ritmos del sol, de ninguna sombra más que las de Elon, para quien está dedicada la número diez, la que viene antes de la última que dice que es un buen día para estar vivo, en mi caso particular no rascarme la frente, porque va a sangrar igual que las piernas anoche. Las temporadas cambian y el buen año se va, pero faltaba este disco que dice algo que es un buen día para saludar al diablo, ver una pelicula de un testigo en peligro porque que vio un asesinato, es hermoso el disco nuevo de Chuck Prophet, es un buen día para caminar por el agua, capaz llamar a tu madre. Viva la radio saludos cordiales the galgo.

This week we welcome Ian MacDougal of the  Lonestar indie rockers BROKEN GOLD. The  band is set for its  first release of new music in three years . MacDougall is a member of cult, Texan punks Riverboat Gamblers,  he spent 5 years with Band Of Horses, and has been drafted into countless other punk and crust band tours. Bobby Daniel (bass) provides low-end to legendary Austin songwriter Alejandro Escovedo and Ben Lance (guitar) is part of anthemic rockers Mountain Time, while drummer Sam Rich has served stints in Del-Vipers and Black Books. While they all call Austin, TX, “home”, they've all put in their fair share of miles performing across the globe. “Spiraling” sets the stage for the Broken Gold's upcoming sophomore album Wild Eyes, which arrives on April 26th via hometown label Chicken Ranch Records. The album's name is a nod to a lyrical phrase shared both by the album track “Shambling”, as well in Thin Lizzy's “The Boys Are Back In Town”. The Thin Lizzy reference is one that always resonated with MacDougall who felt the line “guess who just got back today, them wild eyed boys that had been away” summed up the fried feeling of arriving home after weeks on tour. The collection of songs that make up Wild Eyes reach across genre boundaries to showcase the technical versatility and emotional insight that MacDougall has refined over the past two decades as he performed everywhere from punk squats to headlining mainstages at Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. The constant is the honesty and vulnerability in both MacDougall's DIY ethics and approach to music, facts that are laid bare on every note of Wild Eyes. To bring Wild Eyes to life, Broken Gold enlisted acclaimed engineer Stuart Sikes (The Walkmen, Modest Mouse, The White Stripes) to track and mix the record, while the legendary Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins) provided the mastering polish.Wild Eyes will be available on limited edition vinyl on April 26th, 2024.

Earnestness. Authenticity. These are the things Nashville-based guitarist Tobin Dale relates to when he considers his chosen craft as a guitarist and playing the music he loves. A true student of rock‘n'roll guitar, Dale has been at it since discovering the Beatles and subsequently picking up the guitar around age 12, growing up in Orlando. In music circles, he's become known as a go-to sideman for touring and sessions when artists are seeking the much-admired weave sound of guitars made popular by the likes of Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones and heard in the sounds of bands like The Faces, Humble Pie, the Black Crowes, Dan Baird projects and more. He first began life as a working musician in Los Angeles after following the cross-country voyage taken by one of his heroes, Tom Petty, who went from central Florida to LA. In California, he first joined the band the Nasty Souls, playing his first live show at the famed Roxy on Sunset at age 21. It was there that the likes of Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Patti Smith, Prince and more had played prior. Alcohol and drugs, of course, were ever-present in the LA music scene. In particular, booze became a particular vice when playing with Caldwell Jack & the Six Pack during a residency at the Kibitz Room. Dale had a wakeup call during an East Coast tour that helped Dale find sobriety. He ultimately moved to Nashville with the love of his life and began finding bigger opportunities through encounters with the likes of Alejandro Escovedo, through producer Julian Raymond at Big Machine Records, touring with Brock Ganyea and ultimately hooking up with the legendary Ray Wylie Hubbard. Dale's relationship with Hubbard started during his time playing on tour with Ganyea, who was opening shows for Hubbard. The iconic Texas songwriter approached Dale after a few performances and asked him to come up on stage to join him on the song “You Got to Move.” Dale asked Hubbard if he wanted, “the Fred McDowell or the Rolling Stones version.” A kinship was formed and the bond has only solidified since. It didn't hurt, of course, that Dale quickly found chemistry with Hubbard's son and bandmate Lucas—the two weaving their guitars seamlessly—and Dale continues playing with Hubbard's band today, such as his recent gigs on the Sirius XM Outlaw Country Cruise (where Dale also played with Andrew Leahey and the Homestead) and at Red Rocks in Colorado. It would seem, at just age 34, Dale is only getting started. He has a big summer ahead, touring with Tuk Smith & the Restless Hearts, picking up gigs here and there in Nashville and across the U.S. But with every consideration, Dale seemingly comes back to his fundamental tenants—particularly, authenticity. We discuss all of this and more on a terrific edition of The Load Out Music podcast with guitarist Tobin Dale. Enjoy!

On today's show, Diane Gentile tells the story of how she got into the music industry and went from managing other artists to becoming a talented singer-songwriter working on her own music. Diane offers an inside look into her writing process, shares some details of her experience recovering from being injured in a freak car accident in 2018, and performs a couple of live songs: WALK WITH ME and JOE.

Melody Maker Magazine says, "Gentile's work is one of the rare examples of songwriting capable of meaning all things to all listeners." She recently released her 3rd album, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, with her band Diane & The Gentle Men. The album is a scrapbook of vignettes featuring endearing but poetically flawed protagonists sketched with Diane's literate flair and doused in classic NYC rock n' roll swagger. It features a duet with Alejandro Escovedo, an appearance by James Maddock, and a song produced by Jesse Malin. Previously, she released THE WHITE SEA, with the classic song "Motorcycle", produced by The Dream Syndicates' Steve Wynn, which became a hit on Little Steven's Underground Garage.

The Tom Petty Project

Today's episode is a conversation I had with the wonderful Matt Jaffe. After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back. Since then, Matt has cowritten with Chuck Prophet and Tom Higgenson of Plain White T's, crisscrossed the country opening for Blues Traveler and Alejandro Escovedo, and recorded half a dozen albums alongside luminaries of the Bay Area music scene. Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance.I sat down with Matt on November 2 of this year to talk about his music and the influence of Tom Petty's music in his life. Yet again (man, I've been lucky!) I was so lucky to be able to talk to such a warm, articulate, and genuine artist. I know you'll enjoy Matt's perspectives on everything from the whether the voice is merely an instrument to how Mike Campbell transcends mere soloing as a guitarist and not being intimidated by having Steve Ferrone play drums on his first record!Please check out Matt's website here: mattjaffemusic.com and go check out his Youtube channel here: @MattJaffeMusicDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6BLRWuuAR43zHpNKIirOwAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Singer-songwriters Diane Gentile and Alejandro Escovedo seemingly could not be more different.   Gentile grew up as one of eight siblings in Flushing, Queens, and every morsel of her oozes New York City in a manner that evokes memories of the famed all-female band The Runaways.   While Gentile cut her teeth in the music business as a club booker in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Escovedo—the son of a Mexican immigrant who grew up in Texas—was living the life of a classic, nomadic troubadour.   Yet, there were always connections. Mutual friends, moments where they occupied the same spaces. Eventually, they would meet and form a kinship. Together, Gentile and Escovedo joined me on a recent episode of The Load Out music podcast to discuss a new collaboration.

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today, we go back to episode 46 with legendary singer-songwriter and rock and roll hero, Alejandro Escovedo. This show was originally released on 2/14/12. Below are my original notes form the show.  My guest for episode 46 is the legendary Alejandro Escovedo. When I wrote Alejandro a few months ago to see if he was interested in being a guest on my show, I was so flattered when he responded with a "yes" and that he had been listening and loved it, but that he was about to start recording and would get in touch when he was done. Well, he did. He wrote me a couple of weeks ago to see if I was ready for the interview, so I went to his place last week and we sat down and he told me the story of his life in music. Alejandro is "the real deal" not that all of my other guests aren't, Alejandro is just one of those incredibly special artists. The kind of artist you wish you were. I don't really know what else to say. I was very fortunate to sit down and get to ask everything I wanted to ask. I hope you enjoy our conversation. I did. Ciao! -JG
