SUMMARY:Walter Salas-Humara of the Silos and Freedy Johnston in Concert and
  Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Walter Salas-Humara\nWalter’s musical career started with The
  Silos\, the still-kicking band Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s po
 st-punk ‘80s scene. Playing alt-country before anyone called it that\, t
 hey were named Best New Artist in the 1987 Rolling Stone Critics Poll. Thr
 oughout Salas-Humara’s career his voice has remained textured like a wal
 nut\; meanwhile\, his narratives focus not on interior\, abstract weaves o
 f doubts and anxieties but on storytelling. He renders small incidents in 
 granular detail that take on the weight of attentive\, convincing poetry a
 nd wry wordplay. Each tune is marked by such humanity\, which offers much 
 refuge in a convulsive time. Salas-Humara’s legacy would seem secure\; h
 is name is on 25 albums\, he's performed all around the world\, but he’s
  hardly finished. He still imbues his tunes with a slightly grass-worn\, w
 andering Western vibe and a relaxed and open-ended ambience. Plus\, they t
 eem with a bounty of hooks and grooves that never distract from his musica
 l portraits.\n\n"The space-time of Salas-Humara is not a Technicolor world
 \, or a green screen world of hyped fakery\; it’s a workaday world\, pac
 ed as such\, in which home and heart are the iconography of inspiration\, 
 played with pluck and gravelly insight. Throughout Salas-Humara’s career
  his voice has remained textured like a walnut\; he renders small incident
 s in granular detail that take on the weight of attentive\, convincing poe
 try and wry wordplay."\n\nFreedy Johnston\nFreedy Johnston\, critically ac
 claimed singer-songwriter\, returns with his ninth album\, "Back on the Ro
 ad to You\," a melodic journey filled with wit\, humor\, and poignant stor
 ytelling. His songwriting prowess\, once hailed by Rolling Stone in 1994 w
 hen they named him ‘Songwriter of the Year’\, shines through on this n
 ew release. They described him as "a master storyteller\, (who) sketches o
 ut full-blown tragedies in a few taut poetic lines\," adding that "he joi
 ns that elite cadre of songwriters—Bob Dylan\, Neil Young\, Elvis Costel
 lo—whose brilliant pop compositions turn magical with the addition of a 
 defiantly idiosyncratic singing voice."1 Recorded in Los Angeles with pro
 ducer Eric Corne\, the album echoes influences like The Byrds and Joni Mit
 chell\, featuring collaborations with Aimee Mann\, Susanna Hoffs\, and Sus
 an Cowsill.\n\nJohnston delivers captivating tracks like the jangly "There
  Goes a Brooklyn Girl" and the heartfelt "Darlin'\," a duet with Aimee Man
 n. The album also includes the road trip anthem "Tryin' To Move On" and th
 e Harry Nilsson-esque satire "Madeline's Eye."\n\nJohnston's career spans 
 30 years\, with early successes like "Can You Fly" earning him a major-lab
 el deal and the hit "Bad Reputation." He has since released a series of al
 bums and contributed music to films. "Back on the Road to You" marks a tri
 umphant return for this gifted songwriter\, showcasing his enduring talent
  and confirming his place among the best songwriters of his generation.
