Long live rock

The Who, TD Banknorth Garden, December 2, 2006  
Pete Townshend — slightly hunched and dripping sweat, the words “teenage wasteland” projected on a screen behind him — hit the last guitar chord of the Who’s anthem of unrepentant youthful rebellion and pride, “Baba O’Riley,” and stepped to the microphone.

Cowboy Junkies

Long Journey Home: Live in Liverpool | Zoë
Regardless of whether you think of this Canadian outfit as pretentious somnambulists or artful rock poets, they’ve carved out a grass-roots career since bursting onto alt-rock radio with a barbiturate cover of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane” in 1988.

Fluttr Effect wrestle with their identity
The five members of Fluttr Effect are seated with me on folding chairs in a circle, so anybody walking into the warehouse-like back room of the Berklee College of Music practice space in Allston might assume there’s some kind of rock-and-roll therapy session or AA meeting in progress. Flttr Effect, "Awake" (mp3)

Brian Setzer

13 | Surf Dog
Sure, Surf Dog’s pushing Setzer’s 2005 holiday blaster, Dig That Crazy Christmas, again this year, but the real action has more to do with Old Nick than St. Nick.

Risin’ With The Blues | Zoha
As much as I enjoy hearing Ike Turner’s gritty voice sing “You’re like Kentucky Fried Chicken, woman/You’re finger-lickin’ good” on the new “Tease Me,” this album is still a disappointing follow-up to his 2001 comeback, Here and Now .
