R.I.P. Johnny Cash

I’m speechless.  The Man In Black is gone.  :-(

Goodbye to a great lady

June Carter CashYou probably already heard that June Carter Cash passed away yesterday, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t pay my respects.  The most famous daughter of the original Carter Family is gone.  What a terrible loss, especially for the Man In Black!  :-(

Edith Frost  With the exception of the time Johnny Cash showed his affection for Trent Reznor by covering a Nine Inch Nails song, Edith Frost has been central to the strangest musical marriages in all of folkdom. Her first album Calling Over Time signed up experimentalists Gastr del Sol to back her on twisted Palace-like songs. With the Drag City Supersession group, she made Smog’s nihilist Bill Callahan sound almost cheerful. And her latest Wonder Wonder (Drag City) finds Frost doing her best Liz Phair over Gillian Welch-like traditionals that tug at your fiddle strings. Thank god she’s a country girl. With Central Falls and Jackaro. 21+. $8. 9:00 p.m. 400 Bar, 400 Cedar Ave. S. (at Riverside Ave.), Minneapolis; 612.332.2903.
