They have also just embarked on a North American tour which included a series of gigs at SXSW and will take them clear into the middle of May. And to think, to some degree this album’s early success owes a lot to a canceled gig.]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 06:37:18 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Ray Manzarek, who died on May 20th of complications from his battle with bile duct cancer in a Rosenheim, Germany hospital at age 74, has sent waves of shock and sorrow across four generations of rock fans who sought the rapture of electric wonder through his Vox Continental combo organ during his band's iconic nine-year run.  Here are ten videos Glide has unearthed on YouTube chronicling the many twists and turns in the career of this true genius and innovator.]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 07:26:44 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Ver La Luz is an album of experimental sounds focused around themes of darkness and pain with an overshadow of optimism- not so much different than the desolate yet innovative sound of The National. Although Tournet notes George Harrison’s solo work was a prime influence, there are bits of Wilco and modern leaning soundscapes that give Tournet an essential voice as a front-man and singer-songwriter from the pop charm of “Lights Go Down,” Americana twang of “Demons” and the psychedelic rock thriller “Stand By You.”  Just prior to the record’s release, we had a chance to talk with Tournet about his revolving world of success, isolation and solo artistry. ]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 11:58:05 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Tift Merritt, whose writing has never shied away from approaching difficult subjects with honesty and willingness to engage, but never has she been so vulnerable and calm than on her new record Traveling Alone.]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:52:21 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Tue, 23 Apr 2013 07:11:06 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Use Your Illusion back in the day.

However, they're already beginning to make a name for themselves, and Glide Magazine had the pleasure of sitting down to speak with them about their history, what they have planned for 2013 and some of the craziest stories from tour yet.]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:17:04 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Glide Magazine recently spoke to Natalia about what it was like to open up this work to so many other voices at once, how they coordinated the entire event, what decisions went into making the evening a success, as well as her musings on the future of her career, songwriting and how much painting inspires her to continue as an artist in all senses of the word.]]> Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:34:00 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/rss-glide-features/~3/fLYJgr5_c9M/ Arhoolie Records, and all because one man had a passion for music that was rich and soulful, the kind of music that you feel deep down inside and that causes an uproar in your equilibrium. Whether it was coming from the Deep South or the Texas border, if it intrigued Chris Strachwitz, then he was off and running to the source – even when he didn’t have a nickel to his name. It was that kind of absorbing passion that led the German transplant to record musicians like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Clifton Chenier while others were busy rocking and rolling to Buddy Holly and The Beatles. ]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:17:37 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=glide
