• Is Clarksville Trying to Steal 1,800 Homes and Businesses?

  Clarksville mayor Johnny Piper, on one of the rare occasions he's without his varsity letter jacket. Clarksville, Tennessee's fifth-largest city, home to Jimi Hendrix and Austin Peay University is now in big, big trouble. At issue is hilariously villainous sounding(*) Mayor Johnny Piper's redevelopment plan. In May, Piper and all but one of Clarksville's council passed a bill that effectively blighted two square miles of downtown that includes 1,800 homes and businesses. The mostly black, m

• Too Many Guitars: Craigslister Wants to Form World's Largest (Musical) Circle Jerk

  If you've ever dared to venture into the "Musicians" forum on Nashville's Craigslist, you'll know that this poster has a point...at least initially: I see a lot of ads by the same posters, looking for a bassists, looking for a drummer - and then I see a lot of ads by the same posters, bassist looking for band, drummer looking for band...does anyone actually read these messages? Besides the ones criticizing the music industry. No one but no one gets famous without being rich first, and absolut

• Legends of Rock: The Nashville Cream Custom NC17-Z Epiphone Guitar

  ​One of the many prizes we're giving away at Mercy Lounge on Saturday night is an electric guitar. Not just any electric guitar, mind you, but an Epiphone NC17-Z electric guitar. Oh, sure, you've probably heard of other legendary axes like the Les Paul (R.I.P., Les), Telecaster, SG, Stratocaster, Casino and so forth. But real players know that the Epiphone NC17-Z is probably the most underrated piece of rock history in rock history. You've seen photos of Jimi Hendrix playing his legenda

• Axstresses: Great Lady Guitarists (and Their Favorite Recipes)

  The Great Kat, lady shredderReviews are hitting the streets from theaters for the rockumentary It Might Get Loud, which (we pointed out already) debuted on the festival circuit in Toronto last year. It was partly filmed in Nashville, and it was directed by the dude who also made An Inconvenient Truth. From what I've read, it's a look at three generations of guitar virtuosos--Jack White, Jimmy Page and The Edge--or as one reviewer put it, "[a] very fine documentary about the electric guitar and

  ​A vital piece of Nashville's R&B history fell silent yesterday with the death of legendary blues guitarist Johnny Jones. The longtime frontman, sideman and guitar slinger was found dead at his apartment yesterday morning by exterminators. He was 73. Jones was an integral part of the Music City R&B scene chronicled in the Country Music Hall of Fame's 2004 Night Train to Nashville exhibit. That project's Grammy-winning CD compilation and its sequel introduced a new audience to Jones' histo

• Richard Lloyd Shreds: Tonight at The 5 Spot

  Richard Lloyd played guitar in Television. That rules so much harder than anything any of you have done ever. He also really digs Jimi Hendrix. See for yourself when he graces the stage of The 5 Spot tonight. Here's what I had to say about it in this week's print edish of the Scene: As one-half of the most distinguished guitar duo of the punk-rock era, Television's Richard Lloyd was a guitar hero to many. But the lauded CBGB's axe-slinger--whose output has been sporadic since the dissolution of

• Two Stars of Television Do Hendrix: Richard Lloyd and Little Pete

  You know what's better than seeing Richard Lloyd cover Hendrix songs? Seeing Richard Lloyd cover Hendrix songs with Danny motherfuckin' Tamberelli on bass! As soon as we walked into The 5 Spot last night, that's all anyone could talk about. Little Pete was in the house, and he was ready to rock. It was basically a perfect storm of generational kismet. Kids who liked Pete & Pete probably grew up to like Television, and now they're all of drinking age. We noticed Joe Blankenship pretty much had

(This is at the beginning of a long rant about how the Internet is terrible. And yes, this rant takes place on the Internet.) Time for a little straight talk, from one reasonably intelligent human being to YOU, the reasonably intelligent reader. As distasteful as it may sound, the fact is that so many of our heroes: Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane
