Jackson Browne on Gregg Allman: 'He Was So Natural, Soulful'

Image
Jackson Browne remembered Gregg Allman as "one of the most gifted singers of the last 50 years" in a touching tribute posted to Facebook. Allman died Saturday of complications from liver cancer at the age of 69. Gregg Allman: 20 Essential Songs Southern rock pioneer fused country blues with San Francisco-style extended improvisation, creating a template for countless jam bands As Browne noted, he and Allman became friends in Los Angeles in the late Sixties, when Gregg and his brother Duane were fronting their pre-Allman Brothers outfit Hour Glass. Hour Glass recorded the Browne-penned song "Cast Off All of My Fears" for their debut album, and later Allman rearranged Jackson's song "These Days" for his 1973 solo album, Laid Back . "He was a blues singer first, and he was so natural, and so soulful, that when he sang songs that were written in a major scale, he found all the most soulful and expressive passages through those changes,"...

Countering the NBA Finals hyperbole: What's not at stake in Cavs vs. Warriors III

Image
The NBA Finals begin on Thursday, and this represents the culmination of 11 months of hype. The Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant last July after their storybook season collapsed in six days at the hands of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since then, this third straight meeting with a championship on the line has seemed close to inevitable, even when Cleveland was struggling. This is the greatest player of his generation against the most absurd collection of talent the league may have ever seen.  This website first published a tale of the tape on these teams back on October. Regardless of what you thought of Durant's decision, the Cavaliers' regular season or the first few rounds of the playoffs, it's all about this one series now. Golden State is the decided favorite, and if it comes up short again, it will be seen as an enormous disappointment. In light of what happened last year and how the Cavs have played in the playoffs, though, it's reaso...

Image
Tue, 30 May 2017 10:38:50 Linkin Park's latest album, One More Light , has debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. This is the sixth time the band has reached number the top slot on the chart, putting them in elite company. The Los Angeles-based sextet join Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Metallica and The Eagles with six each. Only four bands have more Billboard 200 chart toppers, U2 and Led Zeppelin with seven, The Rolling Stones with nine, and, of course, The Beatles with 19. One More Light sold 111,000 total copies. It's the band's first number one since 2012's Living Things .

Linkin Park's record was the only new album to appear on the chart. Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. stayed at number two while leap frogging last week's number one, Harry Styles self-titled debut, which fell to number three. Drake's M...

Controversial offside goal review changed course of Game 1

Image
PITTSBURGH – Let’s say you’re playing a video game. Let’s say that early on in the game, your character has taken on significant battle damage, or has been put in a precarious position by a foe. You’re not having fun. You’d rather just begin again, with a fresh set of hearts. And so you hit the reset button on the console, and start the game over. The coach’s challenge by the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was their reset button. The Nashville Predators went from a 1-0 lead on the road in Game 1 to a 3-0 deficit by the end of the first period, thanks to a coach’s challenge issued by the Pittsburgh Penguins bench that wiped away P.K. Subban’s goal on an offside. [Follow Puck Daddy on social media:  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Tumblr ] “It was something that gave us life,” said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, whose team would win a bizarre 5-3 game t...

Ludacris Confirms His Beef With Drake Is Deaded

Image
Dimitrios Kambouris/Ethan Miller, Getty Images (2) It wasn’t all that exciting or that well-known, but a beef between Drake and Ludacris did, in fact, exist. Now, a little over a week after Drizzy publicly squashed the little-known feud at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards—which Luda was hosting— The Fate of the Furious star confirms he no longer has any issues with Toronto’s favorite son. “Yeah, everything is good,” Ludacris told the New York Daily News in a recent interview. Luda went on to say they’d “had a conversation” about their past issues even before the this year’s Billboard Music Awards. Luda’s revelation was short and to the point, which is fitting for one of the least complex or heated beefs you’ll ever hear about. That’s probably the reason so many were left confused about it in the first place. The issue all started with an interview Drizzy gave AllHipHop back in 2010. In the interview, Dr...
