• A GUY CALLED GERALD MAKES INFLAMMTORY COMMENTS ON DALLAS SHOOTINGS
  As was widely reported in global media on Friday, ex US military servicemen Micah Johnson, an African-American, shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others, as well as two civilians, in a sniper attack at a rally against police violence in Dallas.The rally followed the fatal police shootings of two black men in separate incidents in Louisiana and Minnesota, as part of a string of similar occurances in recent years, and which resulted in president Barack Obama changing his international schedule in order to speak out about how he viewed the latest incidents as unjustifiable.Many people in the DANCE MUSIC world reacted to the events. On Twitter, Skrillex said, “No more death, no more fighting, no more killing. Go out of your way to make someone feel happy, the world needs it.”Reaction also came from the UK too, with Stormzy writing a lengthy Facebook post, which stated, “All I can do is urge everyone to do more, that's what I'm going to do. Protest, march, donate, speak out, call out b******t, build within your community, help those in need.”But, on Friday afternoon, A Guy Called Gerald took to social media making inflammatory comments that caused a huge media backlash. (Warning: the video within the Facebook post contains graphic content and strong language)After the reaction to his statement about the Dallas tragedies on social media, with many citing that he made his money from a scene built around peace and tolerance, he further stoked the fire, refusing to back down, whilst referring to himself as “Lucipher the crucified”.In the early hours of yesterday morning, he took to Facebook again, attempting to back up his comments, whilst citing a piece on The Guardian which charts the rate of people killed by US police officers in 2015.Seth Troxler had a more measured reaction to the violence in the US, tweeting a video of Trevor Noah on The Daily Show speaking out on the recent shootings, where he said, “The hardest part about having a conversation surrounding

• Musicians Labels Save Money Using Tax Credits To Finance Recordings
  By Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0. Increasingly, music producers are looking for State tax credits before embarking on a project. While this has been a big part of television and movie production for some time, music is now seeing the light in how cost-effective it could be to go somewhere besides Los Angeles and New York to make a new record. And since it's easier than ever to record just about anywhere, the tax credits now loom large for many a budget-minded producer. Louisiana has been one of the leaders in music tax credits for some time, but recently Texas...

• Shovels Rope Busted Jukebox Vol 1 review – fearless fun
  (Dualtone)Albums of covers are usually a stopgap in pop careers, but this third offering from the South Carolina duo proves a delightful exception, providing a showcase for their gutsy Americana and the talents of assorted southern friends. It’s a mixed bag that includes favourites from their teenage years – they go psychobilly with Nine Inch Nails’ Last, while the Milk Carton Kids coo Guns N’ Roses’ Patience – alongside country standards like Emmylou Harris’s Leaving Louisiana and Neil Young’s Unknown Legend. Everything comes with SR’s clattering production – think home studio Phil Spector – and soaring harmonies, though it’s fellow travellers Shakey Graves and JD McPherson who steal the vocal honours. Clearly it was fun for all. Continue reading...



• Leyla McCalla A Day for the Hunter a Day for the Prey review – powerful songs about death and freedom
  (Jazz Village)Leyla McCalla is a Haitian American based in New Orleans who is both a fine, soulful singer and a classically trained cellist who also plays banjo and guitar. She has worked with the celebrated Carolina Chocolate Drops, and her second solo album mixes songs from Louisiana and Haiti in a fresh, contemporary-sounding set that includes her own powerful compositions about death and freedom. She starts with the self-composed title track, beating her bow against the cello strings and backed by banjo and viola for a thoughtful lament for the departed, while on the pained Far From Your Web the brass backing has the mournful jollity of a New Orleans funeral band. She sings in English, French and Haitian creole, and on the charming Manman, by the Haitian political singer Manno Charlemagne, she is joined by her former Chocolate Drops colleague Rhiannon Giddens.

  Read more about Kenny Wayne Shepherd talks new album Goin' Home track-by-track at MusicRadar.com On his eighth studio album, Goin' Home, Kenny Wayne Shepherd takes listeners on a retrospective journey of some of the songs and artists who first ignited his love of the blues. The award-winning guitarist hadn't originally planned on tackling blues classics on his new disc, but a recent visit to his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana, cemented his direction."Being back in Shreveport, I started reflecting on my life and career," Shepherd says. "I had these vivid memories of playing guitar in the living room of my house and listening to this music. I went full circle. So I thought, 'The best place for me to do this record would be where it all began for me.'" Read more about Kenny Wayne Shepherd talks new album Goin' Home track-by-track at MusicRadar.com



• DL Menard obituary
  Cajun and country singer-songwriter best known for The Back DoorSeeing DL Menard for the first time, a lean guitar-slinger with a seen-it-all gaze, you would guess that he was an old-school country singer. Then he would speak or sing, in English or French, in the accent of southern Louisiana, and you would take him to be a Cajun musician. Both identifications would be correct. Menard, who has died aged 85, embodied the mixed DNA of Cajun and country music, and was proud of his nickname, “the Cajun Hank Williams”.Doris Leon, the only son of Ophy Menard and his wife, Helena Primeaux Menard, members of a farming family, was born outside Erath in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. Most musicians from deep Cajun country are raised on the traditional sounds of accordion and fiddle and keening French lovesongs, but DL came to the music late; he didn’t hear a Cajun band until he was 16. What he listened to first was hardcore country songs by Williams, Lefty Frizzell and Ernest Tubb, borne on the airwaves from station XERA in Del Rio, Texas. When the family radio died, he had to wait for the next cotton crop to provide cash for a new battery. Continue reading...
