Late Night OTB

Florence and the Machine

Late Night OTB – Ron Howard

The original star of ‘Happy Days’ reflects on the shift to second fiddle.

Late Night OTB – Vince Gill Does Karaoke

Trying a different take on an old concept.

Late Night OTB – Gareth Rhodes

Another early-morning edition of Late Night OTB.

Late Night OTB – End of My Journey

Not an Easter song, exactly, but certainly evocative of some of the holiday’s major themes.

Late Night OTB – Rules of the Bar

Were my lifestyle different, I suppose I could pass off 3:30 on a Saturday morning as “late night” but, alas, it’s just really early.

Late Night OTB – Rhiannon Giddens

An artist discovered via discussion in the comments section.

Late Night OTB – Paul Thorn

More whimsical than most of my selections but we could use that right about now.

Late Night OTB – Slaid Cleaves

He’s been in the music business in some form or the other since 1985. He has been, it’s fair to say, the opposite of an overnight success.

Late Night OTB – Fire on the Mountain

Three completely different songs featuring iconic artists.

Late Night OTB – 11 Steps to Go

This is from the band Jack Levitt off their 2007 release “Conversations With A Chupacabra.”

Late Night OTB – Tyler Childers

Tonight’s installment is a rarity: a breakout artist who I’ve discovered more-or-less in real time.

Late Night OTB – Blackberry Smoke

An artist that’s been around for years that I’ve only discovered recently.

Late Night OTB – Wasted Time

The Eagles had an all-time hit with this song in 1978. Alas, this isn’t it.

Late Night OTB – Billy Jean

Two *really* different versions of an iconic song.

Late Night OTB – Even the Losers

Several versions of a classic from the year I became a fan of rock and roll.

Late Night OTB – Soulshine

One of my favorite “new” songs in recent years came out in 1994.

Late Night OTB – Can’t Keep No Good Boy Down

New-to-me music lurks in the strangest places. This time, sports talk radio.

Late Night OTB – What Hurts the Most

An artist you’ve almost certainly heard but probably never heard of.

Late Night OTB – Goddamn Lonely Love

I’m relaunching the old Late Night OTB music video series with a live version of a modern classic.

‘Enter Sandman’ Bluegrass Style

Bluegrass band Iron Horse presents their take on the Metallica classic “Enter Sandman.”

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

It’s Memorial Day here in the States, where we honor those who’ve died in our country’s wars by eating, drinking, and shopping. Eric Bogle’s “And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda,” written 30 years ago, is as good a reflection on the sacrifices of war as any.
