ice, ice, baby
Like much of the city, The Musical Box is without electricity this morning after yesterday’s storm transformed most of Lexington into the Yukon. We’re searching out warmer, current-friendly grounds until the thaw is complete. So it may be later this afternoon or tonight before you hear from us again. But, as always, we have much to discuss.
First up is a concert review of the guy who drove eight hours through the storm to play The Dame when things were at their worst last night: Alejandro Escovedo. After that, we’ll check out the new Bruce Springsteen album. And on Friday, just so you know we don’t play favorites here at The Musical Box (well, not all of the time, anyway), we will talk with Jessica Simpson. So please stay tuned. The thaw is underway.
I am a native Kentuckian and freelance journalist who has been writing about contemporary music for the Lexington Herald-Leader since 1980. I have not a lick of honest musical talent myself, just a pair of appreciative ears for jazz, folk, blues, bluegrass, Americana, soul, Celtic, Cajun, chamber, worldbeat, nearly every form of rock 'n' roll imaginable and, when pressed, the occasional tango and polka.
