Inside the Dude's Stoner Soundtrack

When they were working on The Big Lebowski, Joel and Ethan Coen already had some music in mind for the soundtrack: Kenny Rogers' "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was in)," the Gipsy Kings' cover of "Hotel California" and plenty of Creedence Clearwater Revival for the Dude to play in his car. They left the rest to producer T Bone Burnett, who served as the "musical archivist" on Lebowski and as a music producer on other Coen brothers films (including the Grammy-winning O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

Cat Power Readies Two More Covers Albums, Fall Tour

Cat Power has been in Brooklyn, Miami and Dallas studios recording two new albums of cover songs with Stuart Sikes (and a band consisting of drummer Jim White, keyboardist Greg Foreman, guitarist Judah Bauer and bassist Greg Paparazzi). On what’s tentatively titled The Covers Record II (due in January), Chan Marshall takes on Joni Mitchell’s “Blue,” the Highwaymen’s “Silver Stallion,” Hot Boys’ “I Feel,” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” Jessie Mae Hemphill’s “Lord Help the Poor and Needy,” Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You,” and a duet with Shane MacGowan on the Irish traditional “The Auld Triangle.” On 2000’s The Covers Record she memorably interpreted the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” and songs by Moby Grape and the Velvet Underground. And in the fall, Cat Power will get a chance to rest out some of these tunes on a short tour during which she’ll be backed by the Memphis Rhythm Band, the group of musicians that played on tours for her 2006 album The Greatest. Keep reading for the full list of tour dates: 8/17 - Dallas, TX (Granada Theater) 9/14 - New York, NY (Madison Square Garden; opening for Interpol) 9/19 - San Francisco, CA (The Fillmore) 9/21 - Los Angeles, CA (Avalon) 10/13 - Fulton County, GA (The Echo Project) 10/14 - Norfolk, VA (NorVa) 10/15 - Washington, DC (9:30 Club) 10/16 - Carrboro, NC (Cat’s Cradle) 10/18 - Tallahassee, FL (The Moon) 10/19 - Savannah, GA (Trustees Theater at Savannah College of Art and Design) 10/20 - Orlando, FL (Club Firestone) 10/21 - St. Petersburg, FL (State Theatre)

John Fogerty Plots Return of the “Blue Ridge Rangers”

Photo: Brown/Getty Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty is planning a sequel of sorts to his 1973 roots-and-country covers album Blue Ridge Rangers. Fogerty, along with producer T-Bone Burnett, will release The Return of the Blue Ridge Rangers at some point in 2009, but as opposed to the original album, Fogerty this time will be surrounded by musicians instead of going it alone. “I’ve known for years that if I ever did a Blue Ridge Rangers album again I sure didn’t want to play all the instruments,” Fogerty told Billboard, “I had long felt that was probably something that was wrong with the first album.” The new album was recorded in a span of ten days in Santa Monica, with Fogerty and Burnett recording 15 songs from a list of 40 they comprised. While the CCR remains quiet about which songs are covered this time around, he revealed that there will be a Merle Haggard tune on Return. Additionally, 2009 will also see the release of Fogerty’s Comin’ Down the Road, a live DVD documenting his first-ever performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall from earlier this year.

Ike Turner Dies at Age Seventy-Six

Ike Turner an essential and largely undervalued figure in the history of both rhythm & blues and rock & roll, died in his home in San Marcos, California, earlier today. He was seventy-six years old. The cause of his death is unknown at this time. To the public, Turner was best known as half of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, a hard-hitting R&B band that tore off a string of hits in the Sixties and early Seventies — most notably a torrid version of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary” that cracked the Top Ten and became a pop-culture staple on the basis of Tina’s smoldering spoken introduction to the song (“We never, ever do nothin’ nice and easy”). Influential far beyond its hits, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. But Ike Turner had been a musical innovator for years before he met Anna Mae Bullock, the singer who would eventually become his wife and, as Tina Turner, propel him to international fame. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1931 and raised on a steady diet of the blues, Turner eventually became an important songwriter, producer, guitarist, pianist, band leader and talent scout. “Rocket 88,” a blistering R&B hit in 1951 that is often cited as the first rock & roll song, may have been credited to Jackie Brenston and the Delta Cats. But Brenston, who sang the song, was simply the saxophonist in Turner’s band, the Kings of Rhythm, who performed the song under Turner’s leadership. Turner played piano on the track, and may well have written it, though that, too, was credited to Brenston at the time. It would not be the last time Ike Turner was overlooked. But without becoming a star in his own right, Turner thrived in the free-wheeling days of the independent record industry in the South in the 1950s. A propulsive pianist who first learned his style from the bluesman Pinetop Perkins, whom he met as a child, Turner eventually became an outstanding guitarist. His rhythmic sense was at once r
