  • “Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell: Old Yellow Moon”

    A long-delayed collaboration between two roots music greats proves perfectly pleasant but may leave the listener wishing for a little more spark and fire.

    Collaboration has, of course, always been central to Emmylou Harris’s illustrious career. From the first, now legendary, Gram Parsons duets through her work with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton as one third of Trio to her partnership with Daniel Lanois on the career-redefining Wrecking Ball, Harris has sought out (and been sought out by) a highly diverse range of musical partners. This has allowed Harris to continue to raise harmony singing to new heights of…

  • “Beefs 2013: Jay-Z Won't Return Paul Anka's Calls!”

    Jay-Z has beefed before with the likes of Nas and Syl Johnson, but now the rapper has raised the ire out of a most unlikely music figure: Canadian-born singer-songwriter Paul Anka. The crooner has revealed he feels no puppy love for Hova, noting the rhymer neglected to call him back about a collaboration. Anka delivered the missive to TMZ during an impromptu street interview that started off with the singer fondly discussing team-ups with Michael Jackson, Leon Russell and Dolly Parton.

  • “Emmylou Harris: 'I looked down on country'”

    She thought it was hokey but ended up one of country's giants. As Emmylou Harris revisits the songs that made her, she talks to Alfred Hickling about odes to hedonism, life after Gram Parsons – and the band that left her $250,000 in debt

    'People expect me to be the ultimate cowgirl," says Emmylou Harris, "but I never even learned to ride." The singer is talking about the various misconceptions that go with being a country-music icon. "And I can't sing nearly as high as folks think I can," she adds. "But even when I had those higher notes, I never had what I considered to be a classic, country voice. I'm more of a harmony singer."

  • “John Reilly and friends – review”

    St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow

    In Django Unchained, Jamie Foxx helpfully points out that "the D is silent". For John C Reilly, the hard-working actor who has propped up countless Hollywood movies, it's the middle initial – a stipulated attempt at brand differentiation by the film studios that help fund his gigs – that vanishes when he indulges his love of traditional music.

  • “Cooking songs: music while you work”

    A new compilation album aims to provide the perfect tracks to listen to in the kitchen, but can others mix it up better?

    Our kitchens are rarely silent places: there's the thrum of the oven, the hiss and spit of the frying-pan, the plaintive wailing of a pet (or a family) demanding food. And then there's the soundtrack: the soothing strains of Radio 2 as we spread our toast; a slice of Louisiana blues while we baste a chicken; a rousing blast of Wagner as we pummel dough.
