The Revelator

The Revelator is a place to hear, see, and read about new and old music with some historical depth, from 'John the Revelator' to 'Time (The Revelator)'. In other words, this blog is about AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC: the Blues, Rock and Roll, Soul, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Ragtime, and it's grandchild: Americana / Alt-Country. Hallelujah!

Recent Musings of Mine


Just recently, I was lucky enough to see one my personal musical heroes, Mr. T-Bone Burnett play in Hollywood (w/ Jakob Dylan of the Wallflowers). T-Bone is a man who has accomplished many admirable feats, from music supervising with an unprecedented style, for films like 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?', (whose soundtrack started a bluegrass revival in 2000, and won a Grammy), 'Cold Mountain', 'Walk the Line', and 'The Big Lebowski', to being a driving force in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, and has played a big part in producing the albums of greats such as Roy orbison, Gillian Welch, bluegrass legend Dr. Ralph Stanley (who i've had the great pleasure of meeting), etc etc etc, as well as having his own career in music in the late 70's/early 80's. His new album, 'The True False Identity', which was released in May, is his first album in 14 years, and is better than ever. Not only is Burnett a compelling artist, but he is also an incredibly forward-thinker, and i often read up on him to pick up whatever wise bits of knowledge i can. I suggest you do the same. here are a few of the crappiest images ever taken, of T-Bone Burnett and Jakob Dylan taken on June 20(?) at the El Ray in Hollywood, CA.
