I can't tell if he was taken over by an evil spirit — a rock and roll demon child that drank from the same Tennessee waters as one of his obvious forefathers, Jerry Lee Lewis — or if he had genuine nihilistic tendencies, seeing music as the only path to his redemption, which might explain his rapid fire output and early demise. > > Maybe he thought his duty on this planet was to crank out record after record with a reckless abandon that eventually claimed his life at the age of 29 in January 2010. > > Read and comment.

It's where an entire subsection of the genre has been born and raised. But the Beale Street Music Festival has been making the street famous for a broader selection of American music forms in recent years, having hosted everyone from Alice In Chains to Widespread Panic. This year's Beale Street Music Festival continues to broaden its horizons, with headlining sets by Stone Temple Pilots, MGMT, Flaming Lips and Wilco. But also: John Mellencamp, Ke$ha, Jason Mraz, Cee Lo Green, Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. Also on the bill are hip-hop artists (Ludacris), reggae royalty (Ziggy Marley), metal titans (Godsmack) and legends of rock 'n' roll (Jerry Lee Lewis). And that's just the beginning -- a complete lineup can be viewed at the official website, where you can also peep all the deets. There are the makings of a decent band here if the people involved cared enough. But they probably don't, and despite a couple of green shoots, this is a dreary affair.

Lyrically, Walston says, the record is more serious than the group's 2007 debut, 'Hail Mega Boys.' Walston will join his bandmates -- guitarist Billy Gordon, bassist Logan Davis and drummer Steve Colmus -- in playing multiple shows at this year's SXSW, and before heading to Austin, the singer talked to Spinner about growing up Southern, singing gospel music and touring in a church van._ Ray Bennett "Million Dollar Quartet" is a straight-forward jukebox musical, but since the music comes from Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun Records in the 1950s, it's not your average jukebox. read more LOS ANGELES, Calif. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With the title track from her new album, 'Days Like These,' gathering radio spins, country singer Sandra Piller is happily watching it climb several charts while touching the hearts of listeners at country and Christian country radio.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours, Exclusive, Q + A Steve Gullick _Frequently compared to such legendary acts as the MC5, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, the Jim Jones Revue play '50s-influenced hot-rod rock 'n' roll that is best enjoyed live and loud. Having made its US debut at SXSW 2010, the British band heads back this year for an encore that's not to be missed. In interview with Spinner, the band's namesake and frontman discussed his influences and explained why good performances help him breathe easy._ NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A Nashville man has discovered a recording that he believes contains more than 30 minutes with Elvis at a private session recorded at what appears to be the home of Jerry Lee Lewis in 1960.
