Unseen Footage of U2 Jamming on New Songs Surfaces in Upcoming Daniel Lanois Documentary

Footage of U2 rehearsing songs from their upcoming album will be included in the forthcoming Daniel Lanois documentary Here Is What Is, which is slated to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Lanois, the Grammy-winning famed U2 collaborator who produced The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, All That You Can’t Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (in addition to Bob Dylan’s Oh Mercy and Time Out of Mind) intends to demystify his working process with the feature-length documentary. Shot over eighteen months, the film features footage of Lanois in a Morocco studio with U2 and Brian Eno, plus guest appearances by Sinead O’Connor, Emmylou Harris, Billy Bob Thornton, Brian Eno, Willie Nelson, Garth Hudson and Aaron Neville. All the music in the documentary is by Lanois, whose most recent solo album came out in 2005. Lanois promises the film will provide a deep look into his innermost creativity, and the movie’s description sounds downright trippy: “Lanois’ psychedelic past continues to haunt him throughout the film as the hyper-realism of the in-studio documentation is contrasted by moments of wild fantasia.”

Mark Knopfler - Kill To Get Crimson

Artist: Mark Knopfler Review: Along with occassional soundtracks and All the Roadrunning, his winning 2006 collaboration with Emmylou Harris, Kill to Get Crimson is Mark Knopfler's fifth solo album, and it's a gem. Since the 1995 breakup of Dire Straits, Knopfler has dedicated himself to making music that blends the deep resonance of traditional folk with the off-kilter edginess he brought to his former group's most trenchant songs. Knopfler is best at deftly drawn character studies -- the failed actor in "The Fizzy and the... Rating: 4 Stars

Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder to Help Celebrate Pete Seeger’s 90th

Photo: Ngan/AFP/Getty Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder, Tom Morello and dozens of other musicians will help Pete Seeger celebrate his 90th birthday May 3rd, during a concert at Madison Square Garden. The concert — which will also feature performances of the folk icon’s songs by Warren Haynes, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson — will benefit the Clearwater organization, organizers announced this morning. “It’s a huge honor,” Seeger told Rolling Stone. “Normally, I don’t ever go in for big things. Bruce [Springsteen] had to persuade me to go down to Washington; and Clearwater had to persuade me to do Madison Square Garden.” In 2006, Springsteen released We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, a collection of folk songs made famous by Seeger. The pair was also joined by Seeger’s grandson for a performance of “This Land Is Your Land” as part of President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremonies in January. “I grew up sneaking into folk clubs when I was 14-years-old, to hear local folksingers, and Pete was a hero,” Haynes said. “I don’t think I could miss it.” The show will also reunite Seeger with Joan Baez, who also performed with him at the inauguration ceremonies, and sat down for an RS interview earlier this year. The banjo-slinging activist singer-songwriter founded Hudson River Sloop Clearwater in 1969 to help trigger a cleanup of the Hudson River, which for decades has been polluted by cancer-causing PCBs. Seeger lives in Dutchess County, New York, not far from the river. Ticket prices will range from $19.19 (the year Seeger was born) to $250 with a majority priced at $90 to honor Pete’s milestone. Additional ticket information can be found at the Clearwater Concert Website.
