Willie West “Fairchild” @ Southpaw Feb 26, 2011
April 5, 2011 | 
Author Willie West treated the audience to a reprise of his turntable fave “Fairchild” @ Brooklyn’s Southpaw. The February 26, 2011 Dig Deeper gig marked his first ever appearance in New York City.
For detailed information on Willie’s career and a heapin’ helping of enlightenment on New Orleans music a visit to Dan Phillips’ Home of the Groove blog is a must.

Rory Gallagher Irish Tour ’74: A Magnificent Remaster
I nearly turned down reviewing director Tony Palmer’s Rory Gallagher documentary “Irish Tour ’74″ based on previous releases of drab looking and damaged prints. Eagle Rock Entertainment/Eagle Vision changes that all with their remarkable remaster, to be released on April 12, 2011. My review of the Blu-Ray edition can be read at PiercingMetal.com.
A personal Rory memory is here.
