67°F7:25 AM Bonnie Raitt Visits Louisville, Creates New Label; Launches Nineteenth Studio Album [Music]
After a seven year hiatus from the studio, blues angel Bonnie Raitt will celebrate the release of her new album, Slipstream, in Louisville this Sunday, May 13th at the Kentucky Center’s Whitney Hall. The launch of the album, a semi-experimental mix of reggae, soul and blues, co shares the launch of Raitt’s own recording label, Redwing Records. For the new album, Raitt says she wanted to try something out of the ordinary and after taking time off, went into the recording process trying to approach the album from a different angle.

There aren't very many bands that stay together – or many times alive – long enough to celebrate their 45th anniversary.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of the few. And even more remarkably, the band’s current line-up playing shows throughout the country in honor of this milestone (Bob Carpenter, Jimmie Fadden, Jeff Hanna, and John McEuen ) is made up entirely of either original members or early-adapters to the band.

Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan took their As I Lay Dying tour to Louisville Slugger Field
Bob Dylan
A Bob Dylan concert is like seeing the Mona Lisa: I was glad I watched him perform but wished I could have turned around and had a little more fun watching the musical equivalent of Veronese's The Wedding at Cana.
I am a Dylan fan, with 10 of his albums. Only one of those releases however, is from after 1976 (the year I was born).
