On June 28th, Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group will release Rave On, which is a tribute to Buddy Holly. Featured on the album are covers of Buddy Holly songs by My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Nick Lowe, Florence + The Machine, Cee Lo Green, Paul McCartney, Kid Rock, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Julian Casablancas, and more.

Our first taste of Rave On comes from the Black Keys’ take on the Buddy Holly track “Dearest.” Check it out below.

Morning News SmackDown

February 23, 2009

austin1The SXSW Music Player is up.  You can stream music from most of the bands that will be in attendance.  The South By SouthWest Music Festival runs from March 18th to March 22nd.  You can find a full list of bands and show times here.

jb1Jeff Beck announced a string of tour dates late last week.  If you like gambling and music you are in luck;  Beck plays the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Casino on April 11th.  You can see a full list of tour dates here.

pmcPaul McCartney, Moby, Eddie Vedder, Donovan, and Sheryl Crow announced they will take part in The World Harmony Concert at Radio City Music Hall on April 4th.  The concert will benefit the David Lynch Foundation which aims to teach one million children about the power of meditation. 

relixBrooklynVegan is reporting that Relix and JamBands.com have been purchased.  There had been rumors that both would cease to exist due to parent company Zenbu Media’s financial woes.  While Zenbu continues it’s slow death march, it looks like Relix and JamBands.com will survive for the time being.  This is pertinant because it will enable yours truly to continue to rip off stories from JB.com.
