18-time Grammy nominee and American musical legend Taj Mahal goes deep on his influences and his approach to the craft. PART ONEPaul and Scott kick off the new year with a discussion about the nominees for the upcoming Grammy Awards. And more! PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Taj MahalABOUT TAJ MAHALSinger, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal has mastered the blues form and has further built upon it by incorporating world music influences and expanding the boundaries of the genre. Growing up in Massachusetts, he made his way to Southern California in the mid-1960s where he formed the Group Rising Sons with Ry Cooder, Jessie Lee Kincaid, and Kevin Kelley. They signed with Columbia Records but, upon disbanding, Taj joined forces with guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and remained on the label as a solo artist. After a dozen albums with Columbia, he moved to Warner Bros. Records in the mid-1970s. Following a period spent living in Hawaii and largely out of the limelight in the 1980s, he ultimately reemerged for a new era of commercial success. Taj has been nominated for 18 Grammy Awards, winning five, including Best Contemporary Blues Album in 1997, 2000, 2008, and 2018, and best Traditional Blues Album in 2022 and 2025. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Americana Music Association and the Recording Academy. His most recent album, a duet project with Keb' Mo' called Room on the Porch, is nominated for the Best Traditional Blues Album Grammy at the upcoming Awards on February 1st.

par Benoit Basirico Cinezik Radio sur Cinezik.fr Voici notre sélection de musiques de films nées autour des cordes pincées. De la guitare intimiste au bouzouki endiablé, en passant par la harpe cristalline et la cithare, ce troisième volet de notre série explore l'art de l'instant. Loin des grandes envolées symphoniques, la corde pincée est le son de la solitude, de la fragilité de l'existence et de l'intimité face à l'immensité du décor. Des arpèges désertiques de Ry Cooder pour “Paris, Texas” aux larsens industriels de Neil Young (“Dead Man”), de la Sibérie fantasmée de Maurice Jarre (“Docteur Jivago”) à la Sicile tragique de Nino Rota (“Le Parrain”), nous traversons les époques et les continents pour comprendre comment ces instruments (guitare, banjo, harpe, cithare, mandoline, oud...) deviennent de puissants marqueurs sémantiques et géographiques, faisant souvent vibrer ce que l'orchestre symphonique ne peut exprimer. Toutes les B.O du Panorama : Under Fire (Roger Spottiswoode, 1983) - Jerry Goldsmith The River (Mark Rydell, 1984) - John Williams Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders, 1984) - Ry Cooder Impitoyable (Clint Eastwood, 1992) - Lennie Niehaus & Clint Eastwood Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch, 1995) - Neil Young Une Histoire Vraie (David Lynch, 1999) - Angelo Badalamenti Le Secret de Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005) - Gustavo Santaolalla Crash (David Cronenberg, 1996) - Howard Shore Délivrance (John Boorman, 1972) - Eric Weissberg & Marshall Brickman Sherlock Holmes contre Jack l'Éventreur / A Study In Terror (James Hill, 1965) - John Scott First Man (Damien Chazelle, 2018) - Justin Hurwitz Tempête sous la mer (Robert D.

Un récit immersif au cœur de La Havane, là où tout a commencé : la renaissance du son cubain à travers un album et un film devenus mythiques. Le voyage peut commencer. L'auteur, le journaliste Francis Dordor est notre invité : «À Cuba, les fêtes de Noël furent longtemps ignorées, voire interdites, considérées comme relevant de ce que Marx nommait «opium du peuple» (Castro ne croyant quant à lui qu'au papa Noël soviétique). De même, la pratique des cultes syncrétiques afrocubains tels que la Santeria ou le Palo Monte, jugés contre-révolutionnaires, pouvait vous valoir d'immenses ennuis, comme se retrouver expulsés de son logement. Puis avec l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique et l'instauration de la période dite «spéciale» un certain relâchement du système permit la réintroduction progressive des célébrations religieuses. Un moment particulier dans l'histoire de cette île héroïque coïncidant avec l'accomplissement de miracles. Comme l'histoire de cet ancien chanteur de boléro mis à la retraite, contraint de cirer des chaussures dans les rues de La Havane pour faire vivre sa famille et qui, du jour au lendemain, se retrouva tête d'affiche d'une petite gériatrie de musiciens mis au rebut comme lui, remplissant le Carnegie Hall, l'Olympia ou l'Opéra de Sidney. Cette histoire, celle d'Ibrahim Ferrer, mais aussi de Compay Segundo, de Rubén González, d'Omara Portuondo et le détail des circonstances improbables ayant conduit à leur succès planétaire, je les raconte dans un livre intitulé «Buena Vista Social Club, à la recherche du tempo perdu». C'est plein d'anecdotes, de témoignages, d'interviews, dont celles du producteur et guitariste Ry Cooder et du réalisateur Wim Wenders, de souvenirs de mes différentes rencontres avec ces merveilleux protagonistes du Buena Vista, de photos magnifiques, ou simplement émouvantes comme celle-ci prise par Nathalie Warez lors d'un voyage avec Ibrahim à Santiago de Cuba à la veille de Noël. C'est pas moins bien écrit qu'un discours de Laurent Wauquiez, et peut-être même mieux, et si vous n'aimez pas lire, il y a inclus le superbe film de Wenders édité pour la première fois en blue ray.» Francis Dordor.

SOLENOÏDE, émission de 'musiques imaginogènes' diffusée sur 30 radios dans le monde
Solénoïde (10.11.2025) - Cap au nord : Solénoïde embarque pour la Virée Norvégienne 02, une traversée de 55 minutes où les musiques imaginogènes prennent l'accent des fjords. On lève l'ancre à Haugesund avec le Nils Økland Band et Gjenskinn, album tissé de violon, sax, orgue, percussions et contrebasse, dont les motifs cosmopolites scintillent comme une mer d'hiver au soleil. Cap ensuite sur Oslo pour une expérience rare : Ruth Wilhelmine Meyer y sculpte l'air sans boucles ni effets, uniquement avec la plasticité de sa voix, jusqu'à brouiller la frontière entre chanteuse et instrument. La route nous ramène vers l'ouest, à Bergen, où By The Waterhole dévoile Three : électronique poétique, paysages sonores extensibles et une fièvre intemporelle signée Eva Pfitzenmaier et Stephan Meidell. Retour par Oslo avec Trond Kallevåg et Amerikabåten, road-movie musical inspiré des Norvégiens partis tenter l'Amérique, entre folk cinématographique et réminiscences à la Ry Cooder ou Bill Frisell. Atterrissage enfin à Stavanger : Kim Myhr et le Kitchen Orchestra déploient Hereafter en deux grands mouvements — matin et soir — où quinze musiciens tressent des textures lumineuses, élégiaques et étrangement réconfortantes. Casque ajusté, bonnet facultatif : la playlist détaillée vous attend juste dessous. Bonne radionavigation !

In this episode of Gitaarmannen, the Podcast, Joey Landreth tells the story behind Got To Be You (feat. Roland) — the track that, in his words, “fell out of the sky.” He shares how that recording came together, how unexpected success shaped The Bros. Landreth, and why moments like these keep him grounded as a musician.We also talk about Joey's roots in Winnipeg, his philosophy on making music without chasing fame, and of course his gear — from his custom Duesenberg guitar inspired by Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt and Lowell George, to his REVV Signature Amp, and the ongoing debate of amps versus sims.This episode is made possible by REVV Amps, Duesenberg, and Musifacts.

In this episode, we dive deep into Wim Wenders' haunting 1984 masterpiece Paris, Texas. We unravel its themes of loss, redemption, and the search for connection as we follow Travis Henderson's silent journey across the American desert and into the fractured memories of his past. We'll explore how the film uses stark landscapes to mirror inner emptiness, how Ry Cooder's iconic slide guitar score shapes the mood, and why Harry Dean Stanton's quiet, heartbreaking performance remains one of cinema's greatest. From the film's mythic Americana to its intimate portrayal of family, we'll break down why Paris, Texas continues to resonate as a meditation on love, absence, and healing.YouTube Video Essay mentioned this episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2B_mRW8OOQ&ab_channel=It%E2%80%99sJustCinemaFeel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Back in Season 1, we talked at length about Warren Zevon, one of the great American songwriters and one of our idols. So, this year Warren Zevon has been inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, along with Bad Company and Cyndi Lauper, and we thought that was a perfect excuse to close the loop on our coverage of his career. It's all here – his later career, final album, appearances on Letterman. We loved doing it, and we know that you will love listening to this one! Our “Album You Must Listen to Before You Die” is John Lennon's 1980 hit, “Imagine”. As usual with Lennon's solo albums, it's more (and less) than it seems on the face of it, containing some of Lennon's best work along with some filler. But, hey, it's a strong album and gave Roxy Music their worst-ever cover (FYI - “Jealous Guy”). We also venture into the world of ChatGPT to find out the Best Albums of 1972. Fairly strong list – Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Lou Reed and..............................Wishbone Ash! Who?

Another time, another place. That time? 1984. That place? The movies! Where a rock & roll fable was born, yet no one watched it at the time. In America, anyway. In Japan, someone saw it. A few someones. A few someones, that would go on to make some of the coolest anime and video games around. Now, in 2025? It's the perfect time to go back to that another time, and another place. To go back to the 1984 cinematic cult classic, that is the theatrical film Streets of Fire. Or at least we did.

From the first moment I heard this ditty, it became my theme song. I learned to play it - (in a far cruder fashion than Ry, of course) and worked it into my set list. Just like the character Bill in the narrative, - (my name, btw) - my reprobate ways had also been domesticated by love. And, another harmonic convergence: I had even spent a year in Louisville, Kentucky. Jack Yellen, the Jewish-Polish immigrant who wrote these Jazz-age lyrics, also penned Happy Days are Here Again, and Ain't She Sweet. If he had only created these three songs, his oeuvre would have been impressive. His art was another example, like that of Irving Berlin and the Gershwins, of the affinity young Jewish musicians expressed for black culture. And, like the Semitic moguls of old Hollywood - they became reflectors of America's aspirational self-image.Ry Cooder's Jazz album was not exactly an anomaly - he has always been a musical archeologist, but on this collection he strove for unparalleled authenticity. Check out his jaw dropping rendition of Bix Beiderbecke's In A Mist. Sublime. He's a national treasure, and if the jaunty swing-time on this number doesn't get your feet tapping - check your pulse - you might be dead.
BMG recording artist/singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce's new 11-track album, "Heart of the Eternal," will be released on March 7. Produced by Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker), "Heart of the Eternal" will feature a selection of songs that journey from psychedelia to Philadelphia soul to Latin-infused jazz-pop. Croce, son of legendary singer/songwriter Jim Croce, has toured with/collaborated with such legends and luminaries as B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Leon Russell, Allen Toussaint, Neville Brothers, Bela Fleck and Ry Cooder, to name a few, all while building up an acclaimed catalog that blurs the boundaries between blues, soul, rock & roll, Americana, and much more. In conjunction with "Heart of the Eternal," Croce's upcoming yearlong "Heart of The Eternal Tour" will kick off nationwide on February 20 at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, through April 6 at the Opera House in Lexington, Kentucky (check A.J.'s website and local listings for additional performances to be announced in 2025). Tickets can be purchased for the "Heart of The Eternal Tour" at www.ajcrocemusic.com "Heart of the Eternal" is the latest collection of Croce's songwriting and heart-on-sleeve emotion -- the follow up to his critically lauded cover album "By Request" -his first original body of work since 2017's "Just Like Medicine," which was hailed as "brilliant" by No Depression and a "fluid expression of sorrow and gratitude" by Pop Matters. Says Croce: "I've always felt that music is the heart of our humanity. It's the purest way to connect to one another. Every songwriter I've ever met has told me that they don't know where their greatest songs have come from. Maybe it's our dreams or subconscious that allow us to draw from that eternal well of creativity. I don't know the answer but I'm always looking for it. While stylistically diverse, this album is my search for the heart of the eternal." Recorded at the Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, California, Croce's 11th studio album features bassist David Barard (a Grammy-winner who performed with Dr. John for nearly four decades), drummer Gary Mallaber (whose credits include Van Morrison's Moondance and Tupelo Honey), and guitarist James Pennebaker (Delbert McClinton, Jimmie Dale Gilmore). The album was completed during Croce's downtime from his ongoing "Croce Plays Croce" tour-a widely celebrated run in which he performs classic songs from his late father Jim, along with his own material and a number of specially curated covers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Over the past three decades, A.J. Croce has established his reputation as a piano player and vocal stylist who pulls from a host of musical traditions and anti-heroes — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. From his 10 studio albums, it's clear that he holds an abiding love for all types of musical genres: Blues, Soul, Pop, Jazz, and Rock n' Roll. A virtuosic piano player, Croce toured with B.B. King and Ray Charles before reaching the age of 21, and over his career, he has performed with a wide range of musicians, from Willie Nelson to the Neville Brothers, to Béla Fleck and Ry Cooder. A.J. has also co-written songs with such formidable tunesmiths as Leon Russell, Dan Penn, Robert Earl Keen, and multi-Grammy winner Gary Nicholson. His albums have all charted on an impressive array of charts: Top 40, Blues, Americana, Jazz, College, and Radio 1. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter has landed 22 singles on a variety of Top 20 charts. His songwriting and style has evolved from Jazz & Blues on his debut and sophomore albums, to the roots-rock of the more recent collaborative recordings like Cantos with Ben Harper, Twelve Tales with Allen Toussaint, and Just Like Medicine with Vince Gill. He recently toured with his show "Croce Plays Croce" where he paid tribute to his father, singer/songwriter Jim Croce.
"Chávez Ravine" can mean many things. Obviously, there is an area in Los Angeles by that name. But there is also a book, a short documentary, and a Ry Cooder album, in that order. Cooder's 12th solo effort wouldn't exist without the book or the documentary. Like the Buena Vista Social Club, it came about almost by accident. And again, it was an opportunity he knew how to seize. It became his own ode to a lost Shangri-La – a masterful street-corner opera.This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes.

La guitare Hauts-de-France de Clément Nourry et la folk alternative de la Libanaise Mayssa Jallad. Notre 1er invité est le guitariste Clément Nourry pour la sortie de Amor.Après sept ans d'attente, Clément Nourry revient avec un nouvel album solo, Amor, véritable manifeste de liberté artistique. Il y trouve une échappatoire créative, loin des attentes esthétiques et des contraintes extérieures. À travers les huit titres de Amor, Clément Nourry tisse un lien entre la noise qu'il affectionne et les mélodies qu'il compose à la guitare électrique, son instrument de prédilection. Entre fingerpicking délicat et feedbacks électroniques, il crée un univers sonore à la fois sauvage et intime, où se rencontrent deux mondes musicaux. L'album a été enregistré en seulement deux jours à la Free House, dans une atmosphère brute et authentique. Un homme, une guitare, un ampli, une prise.Une fois les performances capturées par Ted Clark. Amor est marqué par des influences profondes, comme la bande originale de Paris, Texas de Ry Cooder et celle de Dead Man de Neil Young, qui ont laissé une empreinte indélébile sur sa jeunesse. Amor puise dans l'expérience nocturne de Clément Nourry, qui a composé, écrit et mixé principalement la nuit. La pochette, conçue par l'artiste Margot Degert, capture cette ambiance, évoquant des dunes et des paysages désertiques, un clin d'œil à Ry Cooder et aux souvenirs du désert.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Amor Live RFI- Le Cœur Léger, Fumée du Crépuscule et Bête Aveugle, medley extrait de l'album- Serpent Live RFI.Line Up : Clément Nourry, guitare.Son : Mathias Taylor, Camille Roch.► Album Amor (Capitane Rd 2024).Youtube - Bandcamp. Puis nous recevons Mayssa Jallad pour la sortie de Marjaa : The Battle of The Hotels.«Marjaa : La bataille des hôtels» est né des deux vocations de la chanteuse/compositrice Mayssa Jallad : la musique et l'architecture. Écrit en collaboration avec le producteur Fadi Tabbal, l'album explore les étincelles de la guerre civile libanaise en 1975. Durant cinq mois, les factions opposées se disputent le quartier des hôtels du centre de Beyrouth cherchant à dominer les hauteurs architecturales de la ville. L'issue de cette bataille détermina la ligne de démarcation est-ouest qui scinda la ville pendant plus de 15 ans. Une division violente qui résonne encore aujourd'hui dans la culture libanaise.Les chansons de Mayssa s'adressent à la génération de l'après-guerre à qui l'on n'a jamais enseigné cette histoire difficile. Elles sont aussi un appel au renouvellement (plutôt qu'au recyclage par l'oubli) de la classe politique qui tient le peuple en otage de sa violence historique.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Baynana, Live RFI- Markaz Azraq, extrait de l'album- Mudun, Live RFI.Line Up : Mayssa Jallad (chant / guitare), Julia Sabra (claviers / guitare / chant), Pascal Semerdjian (batterie).Son : Mathias Taylor, Jérémie Besset, Camille Roch.► Album Marjaa : The Battle of The Hotels (Ruptured Music 2024).Site - Bandcamp - Youtube.

Henry St. Claire Fredericks, Jr., aka Taj Mahal is 82 years of age, and like that monument in Agra, he stands as an ageless edifice of blues - rock grace. On his latest recording he croons in that familiar rasp: “I'm too young to be this old,” and there's no denying the truth of that declaration. As the years have passed, it's gratifying to contemplate that, 60 years ago, Taj and Ry Cooder combined forces in the seminal, interracial rock group The Rising Sons, then went their separate ways to establish themselves as the foremost living treasures of Americana and world music. I would venture to say that, similarly to the white British rockers who influenced a generation when they recycled the blues back to America, Taj and Ry did the same thing, on their home soil, with more humility..I have a distinct memory of being ensconced during an arduous Iowa winter, laboring to get this song down for my set at the student union: one man, one guitar,- trying to catch the funky groove of the thing. The syncopation between Al Kooper's piano, Jesse Ed Davis's guitar and Gary Gilmore's bass, propels this cut forward, moving it along a track of joy - even as the singer is bemoaning his lost love. That's the thing about Taj: his ever-present, infectious humor is fundamental to his magical appeal. And, the fact that he took his name in tribute to Gandhi, a man of peace, speaks mightily to his personal mission to make us all happy.

What happens when a legendary artist turns his final days into one of the most celebrated albums of all time? In this gripping oral history of Warren Zevon's Grammy-winning swan song, The Wind, we unravel the stories behind the music, the heartbreak, and the triumph. Featuring exclusive insights from Jorge Calderón, Warren's lifelong collaborator and The Wind co-producer, and Noah Scot-Snyder, the album's co-producer, engineer and mixer, this episode takes you behind the curtain of Zevon's bittersweet journey. Hear how Zevon defied the odds, transforming a terminal diagnosis into a creative explosion and how close the album came from not being completed. From emotional songwriting and recording sessions to unforgettable moments like Bruce Springsteen breaking an amplifier during his blistering guitar session. Discover how Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Jim Keltner, Emmylou Harris, and more rallied to honor Warren's legacy, creating an album that transcended time, grief, and circumstance. Jorge and Noah recount Warren's humor and vulnerability, like the night he decided to record "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in Billy Bob Thornton's basement or Zevon's insistence on crafting "Keep Me In Your Heart," even when the pain felt insurmountable. You'll hear about the magic of “Rest of the Night,” a rowdy anthem with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell born from Zevon's last moments of levity, and the emotional toll the process took on those closest to him. This episode isn't just about music—it's about life, legacy, and the stories that make great art unforgettable. If you love music history, legendary collaborations, or just a raw, unfiltered look at the human spirit, this is a must-listen. Thank you very much to Bob Emrich and Tom Hatfield for their assistance recording this episode.
Interview with Arlen Roth 2024 Arlen Roth is a true guitar legend; part of the list of who he's recorded and toured with contains folks like Simon & Garfunkel (together and individually), John Prine, Phoebe Snow, Bob Dylan, Bee Gees, Don McLean, Levon Helm, Ry Cooder, Duane Eddy, Danny Gatton, Janis Ian, Dusty Springfield, John Sebastian, Johnny Winter and countless more. He also appeared with Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Patti Smith in the Martin Scorcese Rolling Thunder film, created the guitar parts and was consultant and teacher to Ralph Macchio for the legendary blues film, Crossroads. In 2016, he wrote and performed an acoustic guitar piece with Daveed Diggs and Leslie Odom, Jr. of Hamilton for ESPN. Arlen was voted in the Top 100 most Influential guitarists of all time by Vintage Guitar Magazine and top 50 all-time acoustic guitarists by Gibson.com. Now, on Arlen Roth's 20th solo album and his fifth all-acoustic offering, he's bringing rootsy acoustic music to new heights on Playing Out the String, set for release September 27 and distributed by MVD. The new album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Alex Salzman, who also contributes keyboards to the mix. Arlen's previous album, Super Soul Session, with bass legend Jerry Jemmott, sat atop the Blues and Soul charts for 22 straight weeks, and was in the Top 5 for 55 straight weeks this past year. Arlen has also been at the forefront of guitar and music education, with 10 best-selling books, and he was the first-ever to offer video instruction with the giants of the music industry through his “Hot Licks” company, which he started in 1979, and has had millions of students worldwide. His column for Guitar Player magazine was voted #1 by the largest margin of readers from 1982 to 1992, and was also turned into a best-selling book, Hot Guitar. On Playing Out the String, this all-acoustic, mostly solo album is very personal to Arlen and is really like getting an up-close "at home" concert in your living room. On it, he paints with broad strokes across several genres of music he loves. From "Old Timey" Norman Blake material to country blues from Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and Tampa Red; he even makes you feel at home with Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin'" and gives his 12-string guitar a workout on the archetypical, "Walk Right In." https://www.arlenroth.com
