Eric Steele – The Great plains

Erstwhile rock frontman, playwright and filmmaker, Eric Steele has returned to music with The Great Plains, a country album set in the broad core of America in a post-pandemic world.

50 American Bands > The Eagles: Epilogue

Rules and criteria – 41-50 – 31-40 – 21-30 – 11-20 – 1-10 About 25 percent of what I said in the course of presenting this list was a lie. I don’t, for instance, really trust that Faith No More is a greater band than the Eagles. I would rather listen to them any day of the week, but a […]

50 American Bands > The Eagles: Criteria and Rules

I have enjoyed hating The Eagles for many years, but probably no more intensely than the first and last time they duped me. It was when I tuned in for “History of the Eagles,” parts I and II, a 2013 documentary that, at the time, generated a modest amount of buzz. Enough buzz for me […]

A Collaboration Between CCM’s Chief Weirdos

A few months ago, two of Christian music’s weirdest teamed up for a Steve Albini produced EP. This new work from Steve Taylor and Daniel Smith may be a one-off, but it offers a chance to stop and appreciate two genius outcasts of a historically buttoned-down industry.
