Released on June 5, 1989, Flowers in the Dirt by #PaulMcCartney is a near tour de force accented by four songs written with Elvis Costello. Eight years ago, on the occasion of its release, I dug deep into the deluxe edition… oldgreycat.blog/2017/03/25/p...

The Three O’Clock’s Arrive Without Travelling recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. It’s a true lost classic of the #1980s and sounds as fresh now as it did then. oldgreycat.blog/2021/02/06/t...

American Laundromat announced today that it’s releasing the #JulianaHatfield album Made in China, originally issued on CD in 2005, on vinyl. I hear it as her primal-scream moment, a reaction to the music scene writ large circa the mid-2000s. I spotlighted it in 2017… oldgreycat.blog/2017/04/24/t...

On this day in 1979, #PaulMcCartney and #Wings released their final album. Not his or their best work, by any means, but a fun set nonetheless. oldgreycat.blog/2020/05/16/t...

This is a wonderful show from 1991 with #RosanneCash, #MaryChapinCarpenter and #NanciGriffith. That same year, we saw similar round-robins with Chapin, Nanci and Beth Nielsen Chapman at the TLA in Philly… youtu.be/2IVaycEDGd8?...

The new 45 from #CalistaGarcia, one of my favorite younger artists, is a driving song in all senses of the word, traveling slow while navigating the backroads of memory until hitting the onramp for the highway. That’s when it pushes the proverbial pedal to the metal. oldgreycat.blog/2025/05/16/f...

45 years ago (!?) this week, #PaulMcCartney released his second one-man-band set. It was, is and likely will forever be a love-it-or-hate-it entry in his oeuvre. Some fans deem it an oddball delight. Others, however, don’t. (I’m in the former camp myself.) oldgreycat.blog/2020/05/23/t...

The new #LucyRose single, “Pink,” should come with a warning label: One listen will beget two, three and more, and before you know it you’ll have spent half a day lost in its jazzy pop. oldgreycat.blog/2025/05/12/f...
