The band was formed while Garvey was living abroad in the idyllic capital Ljubljana, Slovenia. “ No Sailoris the moniker of American singer/songwriter Kieran Garvey and his five-piece folk band. (Or as it’s called on SoundCloud, “Hillbilly-Baroque Folk Rock.”) Especially ones that say, “If you feel like talking shit be ready to deal with it.” The band No Sailor is for fans – it says here – of The Lumineers, Bright Eyes, Josh Ritter, Mumford and Sons, Vance Joy. If in five years she’s already hanging with long-established bluesmen Mike Zito and Bernard Allison – who I saw at this year’s Lowell Folk Festival – then she’s got some chops and some props:ĭon’t you just love upbeat, swing-y folk tunes? Me too. “Are you ready for some rock and roll? Yeah. Here she is doing a live version of a song called “All Night.” She sounds like Fiona Apple cranked up: Well, I bet she was a hell of a pastry chef but her voice and guitar are no less sweet. She ordered a cheap guitar on the internet, began taking lessons from the guitar player whose performance had inspired her and eventually quit her job as a pastry chef to dedicate herself to music.” I decided I wanted to play guitar right then and there – and when I decide something, I just have to do it.” According to her website, “Sky picked up the guitar just five years ago, inspired by an evening visit to a live music venue near her hometown of Buzet. That stuff is great but when are you going to feature a female blues guitarist from Croatia? Ha! Thought you’d never ask. Music Enthusiast you’re likely saying to yourself. And it’s also got the power pop harmonies. Here’s “Losing Sleep,” and it’s good to hear some guitar-riff-driven rock again. Hitting festival circuits and stages across Canada and the UK, they’ve toured extensively since releasing their much-celebrated debut album, Dirty Rain.” It’s the culmination of experience, both musical and rawly human, that makes Altameda the band they are. Edmonton based Altameda (æl-tah-MI-da) have evolved into a band with a bold and unrelenting sound. Deadpan expression of a staunchly honest vision. “Respect for tradition with the sophistication to shake it off. (Literally, every single person under 30 in Canada is in a band.) From their website: This tune, “Losing Sleep” is by a Canadian band named Altameda (æl-tah-MI-da). I like to kick these revues off with some upbeat stuff whenever I can get my hands on it. I have liked every single New Music Revue I’ve ever done but I can honestly say this is (for me anyway) the most consistently good set I’ve posted.

Jackson Browne, who had gotten Zevon signed to David Geffen’s Asylum in the first place, later recorded his own version of the song – with help from Raitt - on the posthumous Zevon tribute album Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon.Time for another New Music Revue wherein I pop my head out of my own … cave and see what’s going on in current music. Zevon’s own version had appeared on his absolutely classic Asylum Records debut album the year before, which unfortunately had failed to make commercial inroads despite the involvement of Jackson Browne as producer and guests like Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, Glenn Frey, Bonnie Raitt and Phil Everly. Most people probably heard Warren Zevon’s songwriting for the first time when they heard Linda Ronstadt’s hit version of this great sardonic rocker, which was included on her huge 1977 album Simple Dreams. ILYOS looks back at some of Warren Zevon's classic songs as covered by some of his many friends and champions from the West Coast scene, including Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Stevie Nicks and David Lindley. The iconoclastic Californian singer-songwriter – he of “Werewolves Of London” fame – passed away 15 years ago this month. Warren Zevon, 1978 (Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images)
