Brian Wilson Receives Hootie Salute at Kennedy Center Honors Ceremony If the Rock Daily TiVo hadn’t malfunctioned, right now you’d be watching an astonishingly weird clip of Brian Wilson being celebrated at last night’s pre-taped Kennedy Center Honors. After a touching look back at the Beach Boy’s life narrated by Art Garfunkel, Lyle Lovett warbled “God Only Knows.” Then the words, “Ladies and gentlemen, Hootie & the Blowfish!” echoed through the theater and Darius Rucker and Co. took the stage in matching green and blue flannel shirts to perform passable versions of “I Get Around” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “California Girls” (which were noteworthy mostly for the reaction shots of George Bush jerking his head off-beat in the balcony). An English boys’ choir wrapped things up with a sweet rendition of “Love and Mercy” and as beach balls floated down from the ceiling, Wilson’s neighbor Diana Ross — who was honored by Jordin Sparks, Ciara and gospel star Yolanda Adams, and spent much of Wilson’s tribute stealing his camera time with exaggerated gasps and crazy eyes — reached out and plucked one from the air for him. It was a touching moment. … But seriously, Hootie? Brian Wilson is the patron saint of indie rock, so certainly they could have found anybody else to come play this gig. Paul McCartney? John Cale? Animal Collective? (We can imagine the post-show now: “Mr. President, I’d like to introduce you to Panda Bear.”) Heck, even John Stamos has proven himself more devoted to the Beach Boys’ catalog.

Levon Helm Battles Back From Cancer and Tragedy, Returns With His First New Studio LP In Twenty-Five Years The last ten years have not been easy for legendary Band drummer and vocalist Levon Helm. In 1998, he had surgery to remove throat cancer and underwent twenty-eight radiation sessions. His barn-turned-studio in Woodstock, New York, was obliterated in a fire and had to be rebuilt, and former bandmate Rick Danko passed away. In spite of all these roadblocks, Helm was inspired to record, and on October 30th he’ll release his first solo studio album in twenty-five years, Dirt Farmer. “The last few years have proven to me that we truly live in an age of miracles,” the singer writes in the album’s liner notes. Though cancer treatments compromised Helm’s voice, he slowly regained the ability to sing via late-night concert sessions held at his Woodstock studio with friends and family. These so-called Midnight Rambles were inspired by the Southern medicine shows Helm remembers from childhood in rural Arkansas, and featured guests like Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Nick Lowe and Warren Haynes. The Midnight Rambles influenced much of Dirt Farmer, and the album includes several traditional songs as well as Helm’s interpretation of tracks by Steve Earle and J.B. Lenoir, among others. Multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (who has played with Lyle Lovett, Solomon Burke and Bob Dylan) worked closely alongside Helm and his daughter Amy on the LP, and Helm plays drums, mandolin and acoustic guitar in addition to handling all the lead vocals. The album title is taken from the traditional folk song “The Poor Old Dirt Farmer,” which appears on the record, as Helm says it’s a track that truly resonates with him. “’The Poor Old Dirt Farmer’ is a song that my wood-carver/musician friend Michael Copus and I learned together when we worked with Jane Fonda on the Dan Petrie-directed film The Dollmaker down in the heart of the Smokey Mountains, Gatlinburg, TN,” Helm writes. “Growing up on a cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta, ‘Dirt Farmer

Lyle Lovett Meets Ghostface Killah: How Rock-Biopic-Spoof “Walk Hard” Got Its Theme Song This week, Lyle Lovett released his thirteenth album, It’s Not Big It’s Large. The title is indeed a joke, but probably not the first one that comes to mind. “We had done these arrangements with horn parts, but I’m a folk singer, basically, so the joke was ‘the large band,’” rather than a big band, he explains. “Any time you have a chance to make a joke, you’ve got to take it.” With that credo in mind, the singer-songwriter was perfectly suited to join up with comic genius Judd Apatow on his latest project, the music mockumentary Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Lovett, who has appeared on film several times in the past (remember his turns in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Opposite of Sex?) will be gracing the big screen once again this December alongside Jack White, Eddie Vedder, Jewel and Jack Black in a spoof that tracks the long and strange career of Johnny Cash-style figure Cox (John C. Reilly). Lovett says he was drawn into the project by its co-writer, Jake Kasdan. “I originally talked to him about writing one of the songs, which I never did,” he says. “I ended up getting to sing [the film’s title song] with Jackson Browne, Jewel and Ghostface Killah, which was really fun, but Marshall Crenshaw actually wrote it.” The track is Cox’s biggest hit, and Lovett and Co. appear onscreen briefly as an all-star band in one of the film’s last scenes, when Vedder hands over Cox’s lifetime achievement award at a Grammy-style ceremony. “We shot one day at the Shrine [auditorium in Los Angeles],” Lovett says. The track, he adds, came together effortlessly. “I had met Jackson years ago and he’s always been really kind to me over the years. And I had met Jewel but I had never sung with her. She was great to work with. And it was the first time to meet Ghostface Killah. It was very cool, he’s very cool. There’s a breakdown in our version, in the middle of

Abandon Ship! A Short Guide to the World of Rock and Roll CruisesRocking a boat is hardly a new concept, but musicians have gone a bit cruise crazy lately. With the exception of Ben Folds, who recently canceled his own floating gig due to poor ticket sales, stars have been making plans to take to the high seas in record numbers. Here’s a quick guide to six cleverly titled events where music piracy means something totally different than usual: Bands: John Mayer Name: The Mayercraft Carrier Date: February 1-4, 2008 Selling Point: In an apparent nod to Mayer’s background as a Berklee School of Music student, fans are encouraged to bring their own instruments. Bands: Warren Haynes, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Galactic, Soulive, the Funky Meters, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Galactic Name: Jam Cruise 6 Date: January 4-9, 2008 Selling Point: Last year included a Guitar Hero competition and a music-themed Newlywed Game-type event. Bands: Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett Name: The Cayamo Music Cruise Date: February 4, 2008 Selling Point: Um, Emmylou Harris, who has said that the idea of going on a boat “seems a little claustrophobic.” But presumably she’ll muddle through. Bands: Barenaked Ladies, Guster, the New Odds, Jason Plumb and Gaelic Storm Name: Ships & Dip III Date: January 27-February 1, 2008 Selling Point: Passengers can pose for a bare-naked photo on the top deck. Bands: Sister Hazel, Aslyn, Marc Broussard, Andy Davis, David Ryan Harris, Keith Kane of Vertical Horizon, Josh Kelley, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, Bain Mattox, Matt Nathanson, Glen Phillips, Sons of William and Toad the Wet Sprocket Name: The Rock Boat VIII Date: January 19-23, 2008 Selling Point: Pro: Sheer quantity of bands mean that you could easily run into a member on the Promenade Deck. Con: You probably won’t be able to recognize them. Bands: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Cowboy Mouth, Blackberry Smoke, Zac Brown Band, Grayson Hill, Kneckdown Name: The Simple Man Cruise 2008 Date: January 10-14, 2008

"It's Not Big, It's Large" by Lyle LovettRenowned for his idiosyncratic Texan charisma, big band country style (and, yes, the Julia Roberts marriage), Lyle Lovett has always been an effortlessly charming performer. This, his thirteenth album, was recorded live in sessions with the Large Band and finds him world-weary and deliberate—exchanging that smooth humor for a slower, blues-infused record that is rich with reflections on mortality and regret. Keeping the instrumentals sparse, the band creates melodies that are subtle and moving. "Don't Cry a Tear" teases out deliberate guitar chords for a regretful ballad, while each line of "This Traveling Around" is measured with weariness, as Lovett admits, "I'd change my ways, if I knew how else to be." Even on pacier numbers like "Up in Indiana," Lovett's voice carries a certain pained edge. Yet, as he muses, "I've been good, and I've been bad / Mostly I've been bad," on the swaggering "All Downhill from Here," he shows that despite the melancholy, there's
