I wrote many years for Lee Dorsey, Tijuana Brass, Glen Campbell, Patti LaBelle, Joe Cocker, Elvis Costello and lots of folks around the country. Glen Campell did my song 'Southern Nights,' which I initially sang. However, my version was a slower, mystical version. Glen gave 'Southern Nights' a life it never would have had. He made it a No.1 hit, and frankly, I like his version better than mine," remarked [Allen Toussaint], who has also worked with artists such as Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack, Aaron and Art Neville, Joe Cocker, The Meters, The Band, The Rolling Stones, Irma Thomas, Etta James and Ramsey Lewis, to name a few.

On Oct. 4, New Orleans-based pianist/organist Joe Krown started out on a journey unlike any other he's been on before. Krown is one of the performers of Solid Blues, a seven-week tour of the U.S. that includes soul great Mavis Staples, harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite and blues trio the North Mississippi Allstars. The tour rolls into Portland for a performance Wednesday night at Merrill Auditorium.
We go out and play with our bands all the time. It gets kind of blurry," says Krown on the phone before a performance in Madison, Wis. "But this is one of those tours I'll remember for a long time because it's unique.

With 2009's proggy "The Hazards of Love," the Decemberists' leader, Colin Meloy, went all-in with his fanciful British folk fixation, spinning a rock opera about fairy queens and shape- shifting woodsmen that made for an arduous listen. "The King Is Dead" returns to the Portland, Ore., band's collective strengths, with 10 concise, country-flavored songs marked by memorable melodies that call immediate attention to themselves.
Not that "The King Is Dead" lacks for ambition. Though it benefits from being freed of "Hazards'

There was a time when Pierre Pichon spent nearly every night of the week plying from the strings of his guitar the sounds that garnered his gypsy jazz band a faithful following at local music clubs. Today, his appearances are limited to a few private performances, agreed upon only once he is certain he won't spend hours in a smoke-filled venue.
The change began last Mardi Gras when the 40-year-old guitarist, formerly of the band Vavavoom, contracted a strain of the flu that put him on his back for almost a month. Alarmed by his body's vulnerability and hoping to hasten his recovery, he quit smoking and abandoned most of his regular gigs.

At age 70, Tom Jones' voice is still a force of nature. At a time when most singers would struggle for a mere glimmer of their former glory, Jones can still put just about any song over the top. And in Jones' career, it's as if he's sung just about any song.
At best, his music is classic kitsch. After all, it's hard to take a singer seriously as he ducks airborne women's undergarments in concert. But Jones is capable of more, as evidenced by his new album, "Praise and Blame.
