In the melancholic shadow of yesternight, the world was bereft of a luminary, John Mayall, who departed this mortal coil on July 23rd, 2024. With a heavy heart, we pay homage to this titan of blues, whose life and music reverberate through the corridors of time, echoing like a somber requiem in the deepest chambers of the soul.

Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson has been making music for more than fifty years. In all that time, Benson has never walked away from a musical challenge. So, when legendary Jamaican producer Dr. Dread reached out to him with an invite to come to Kingston, Jamaica to record an album with some of the island nation’s best studio musicians, Benson immediately said yes. The result of that collaboration, Swingin’ and Skankin’ will drop later this year. Today, Benson released “Put It On” as the lead single from the collection.

With more than six decades of making music, and more than 100 albums released during that time, it's not easy paring down to Willie Nelson's most essential tracks. And no discussion of the country legend's career is complete without a survey of his best, and often genre-bending albums, including 1975's career-boosting Red Headed Stranger and the 1978 American Songbook milestone Stardust.

11. “Rebels” – Pack Up the Plantation: Live! (1985) Pack Up the Plantation was Tom Petty’s first live album and showcases the raw energy that comes from a live Heartbreakers show and Petty’s command as a frontman. The album features a six-minute version of “Rebels” that’s a definite highlight. I’m fond of the chorus: “I was born a rebel / Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning / Yeah, with one foot in the grave / And one foot on the pedal.”
