Cage The Elephant are from Bolling Green, KY. So what? Well, for a start, their single "In One Ear" in a certifiable indie smash hit. They remind me of The Hiss before they got caught up in the record business and thought they were the shit. The lyrics are great and "In One Ear" is […]

Lucinda WilliamsLittle HoneyLost Highway by Al Kaufman Lucinda Williams, so wonderful when she sings of her pain and despair, is even better when she sings of her joy.
