Springsteen, Jay-Z Lead Obama Swing State DriveFrom Bruce Springsteen leading 50,000-strong crowds in chants of
"Yes we can!" to the Beastie Boys headlining a last-minute
voter-awareness arena tour to Jay-Z putting a political twist on
his full-band stage show, musicians are coming out in force for
Barack Obama as the November 4th election approaches. It's a burst
of enthusiasm that recalls 2004's Vote for Change Tour: Some
events, including a Dead/Allman Brothers show on October 13th in
State College, Pennsylvania, and a Springsteen/Billy Joel/John
Legend concert in New York on October 16th, are official Obama
fundraisers, held under the campaign's Change Rocks banner; others,
like the Beasties' tour with the nonpartisan Rock the Vote
organization, are focused on encouraging fans to show up at the
polls.

The Dead Reunite for Obama at Scorching Penn State Benefit GigPhoto: Weiner/Retna Once again, Obama has raised the Dead: The remaining members of the Grateful Dead regrouped for the first time in four years at a “Change Rocks” fundraiser for Barack Obama at Penn State Monday night. Guitarist Bob Weir, babying a set of broken ribs, joined bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Mickey Hart. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann, who did not play at the “Deadheads for Obama” fundraiser last spring, flew in from his Hawaiian holdout to join the band. The crowd was an even mix of die-hard Deadheads and Penn State students, with the parking lot scene pretty standard, complete with tailgating, music blaring, Frisbees flying, and no hotel vacancies for 30 miles (students paid $30, non-students paid $50). The Allman Brothers started the show, giving the event a flashback to the days when the two bands shared bills at the Filmore in the late 1960s and early ’70s. However, without beer sales and zero-tolerance security, most of the students stayed out in the parking lot partying. Slowly, the seats filled as Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes traded licks and Gregg Allman worked the keys and sang with no signs of his illness that kept him offstage last spring. “It’s a beautiful night,” said Haynes. “It’s an historic night. Don’t forget to vote.” Between sets, Obama volunteers and security wandered the floor of the sold-out 16,000-seat Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania as a video message from the candidate played: “For 20 months, I’ve been traveling this country from town to town — even developing a ‘Touch of Grey’ of my own,” Obama said. “On November 5th, I hope to announce that we ‘Ain’t Wasting Time No More.’” After a photo opp backstage, with Kreutzmann grinning and Weir sitting with his chin pensively in his hand, the band took stage and electrified the crowd. The smoke billowed, glow sticks flew and the crowd roar crept up. For the first two songs — “Truckin’ ” and “U.S. Blues” — it seemed the band was set on giving a Dead primer, offering so

"Cease to Begin" by Band of HorsesThanks to bands with an affinity for the whiskey-soaked Southern rock of yore, the genre is rising again. But this isn't the bayou-loving sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Allman Brothers Band. Today's Southern rock is more sedate and less likely to become a protest anthem on a college campus. Band of Horses' newest album, Cease to Begin, is a testament to the softer side of the swamp, with its bluesy ballads, lazy banjos and lyrics about swinging screen doors. The opener, "Is There a Ghost," has the same commercial potential as the radio-friendly track "The Funeral" off their 2006 debut, Everything All the Time. Starting off slow and spooky, "Ghost" crescendos into a guitar-shredding rock song that has more in common with today's indie scene than anything CCR ever wrote. But the album's 21st-century aesthetic seems to drop off after the opening number. "Ode to LRC" is an unabashed love letter to Neil Young's

Album Preview: Derek Trucks Band Build a Funky Mix of Slide Guitar and R&B on “Already Free”Photo: Getty “The great thing about having a studio right at home,” guitarist Derek Trucks says with a grin, taking a break from mixing the new Derek Trucks Band album at Electric Lady Studios in New York, “is that if you need somebody to play or sing something on a track, you can just call ‘em” — he mimes talking on a cell phone — and say, ‘Get your ass over here.’ ” It has been a busy commute. The record, titled Already Free and set for release by Columbia’s Legacy Recordings in January 2009, was made at Trucks’ new studio, behind his home in Jacksonville, Florida, and features songs Trucks wrote there with fellow Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes, and guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, Trucks’ bandmate in Eric Clapton’s touring group over the last two years. Bramhall also sings and plays on the album. The Trucks-Haynes acoustic hymn “Back Where I Started” is a geniuine family affair: Trucks’ wife, singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, is the featured vocalist, Trucks plays the Indian sarod in a striking Delta-blues bottleneck style and Trucks’ brother Duane plays cardboard-box percussion. At Electric Lady, Trucks previews several songs from the album, which bonds his greased-lightning slide guitar and encyclopedic loves of blues, R&B and Indian music in funky, cohesive songwriting. With its loping beat and rubbery clavinet, “Maybe This Time,” sung by Bramhall, would have sounded right at home on Little Feat’s 1973 album Dixie Chicken. “These Days Is Almost Gone,” written by Trucks with his organist Kofi Burbridge and sung by DTB vocalist Mike Mattison, is a Sixties-vintage soul-stew ballad, with Trucks busting out on slide guitar at the end the way Duane Allman used to solo on R&B sessions for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. Mattison sings on a crunchy cover of Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes song “Down in the Flood.” And there is a version of Big Maybelle’s “I Know” which opens with buzzing tamboura and slide guitar, then opens into a 6/8 country-jazz stride that sou

Bob Weir, Levon Helm, Warren Haynes Light a Fire at Three Day “Mountain Jam” Framed by a chair lift overhead and Ferris wheel perched on the side of a mountain that rose 1,600 feet, former Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir launched his headlining slot on the closing night of Mountain Jam in a most auspicious way. With 10,000 watching, he flubbed the opening line to a song he has performed hundreds of times over 30 years. Then he walked over to Mark Karan, guitarist in his band, RatDog. Karan spoke into Weir’s ear — likely the first line to “Help on the Way” — and the evening got under way. The false start only fueled the frenzy that had been building over the three days that Mountain Jam was held at Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl in upstate New York. 2008 marked year number four for Mountain Jam, staged this past weekend by Woodstock-based WDST-FM and Warren Haynes, guitarist for Gov’t Mule and the Allman Brothers Band. Weir and RatDog delivered about three hours of music that featured a caustic cover of Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” and inspired audience sing-alongs on “Friend of the Devil” and “Ripple.” But the high point of RatDog’s set and the entire weekend came when Levon Helm sat in with RatDog on Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me.” About 24 hours earlier, Helm held one of the now-famous “Midnight Ramble” house concerts at his recording studio in nearby Woodstock, for a sold-out audience that included Mountain Jam performer Jackie Greene. The Levon Helm Band played right before RatDog at Mountain Jam and brought fans to their feet with Band nuggets like “Ophelia,” “Rag Mama Rag” “The Shape I’m In” and “The Weight.” Helm’s new material, from his Grammy-winning 2007 release Dirt Farmer, was greeted as enthusiastically as the classic catalog. Helm welcomed Haynes for the final two songs of his set, and the Gov’t Mule guitarist added his vocal growl to “I Shall Be R
