SONG CUTS

Adam and The Couch Potatoes, Cheer Up Charlie Daniels,

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

Band of the Month THE DELI Winner's of BMI's Road To Bonaroo "Hope you guys like Steely Dan," announced Neil O'Neill. He was singing for Cheer Up Charlie Daniels, who then confounded expectations by playing "No Matter What You Do" by Badfinger. They followed it with a rousing version of "Kodachrome" that brought out the song's infectious catchiness and included a fiddle breakdown. The band featured previous performers Caitlin Rose, Tristen and Larissa Maestro on BGVs, who had dressed for the theme in knee socks and high-waisted shorts: "Let's hear it for shorts!" They concluded with Glenn Campbell's "Southern Nights"

Legends: Bobby Braddock

In Nashville, most successful songwriters have a fairly short run. On hit, one year, two years, five years.

It's much like the span of emotion in her work, and in her new record, Balm in Gilead, which veers from the pure, naked heartbreak of "Bonfires" to the elation of "Old Enough," to the beautiful "Wild Girl," which celebrates the 21st birthday of her daughter, while simultaneously reflecting on the unchained fervor of her own wild days.

Q&A With Squeeze's Chris Defford

After practically defining the New Wave genre in the '80s and, with partner Glenn Tilbrook, writing some of the classic pop songs of the late 20th century, Squeeze's venerable co-writer Chris Defford went the solo route, with detours into film scoring and the occasional Squeeze reunion.

Q&A With Joe Pernice

Already considered a songwriter's songwriter for his high-lonesome tunesmithery with the Scud Mountain Boys and shimmering power-pop with the Pernice Brothers, Joe Pernice has launched a fiction writing career that promises as much critical acclaim and cultural valence as his music.
