Yes, Warren, we hold you close in our hearts. You crisscrossed genres, forging bonds with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and others who recognized your sharp pen and rebel spirit. You wrestled with the big themes—love, death, betrayal—and shaped them into songs that lived outside the ordinary. Your style was a dance of humor and heartbreak, forever reminding us that laughter and despair can share the same haunted road.

Hey now, gather ‘round and let me tell you ‘bout this cat named Warren Zevon. Strange grin, sharper tongue, and a knack for weaving stories that’ll tie your heart in a knot and set your mind running. He walked the alleys of rock ’n’ roll like he owned the place, and maybe he did, in his ow...

Sam began his singing days in church, eventually joining the legendary Soul Stirrers in the 1950s. That gospel upbringing shaped his entire approach: heartfelt, sincere, and always seeming to reach beyond earthly bounds. When he ventured into the mainstream pop and R&B spheres, he didn’t just blend in—he took charge. He was among the first African-American artists to stake his own claim in the industry by founding a record label, publishing his own music, and taking full control of his career. He set a new bar for what an artist could be.

Alright, folks, gather ’round. We at Grateful Web are shining a bright beam of admiration on the man whose voice could soothe and electrify in the same breath—Sam Cooke. Today, on January 22nd, 2025, we mark the date he was born back in 1931. If anyone ever commanded soul, pop, and gospel with t...

He was the eldest member and, until now, the last surviving founder of The Band—a group that once served as Bob Dylan’s fearless co-pilots through tumultuous tours and the legendary sessions that birthed The Basement Tapes. The other Hawks, all bright lights in their own right—Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson—preceded him in passing. And if you ever needed proof of Garth’s musical wizardry, you just had to listen to his solo turn on “Chest Fever,” that rattling, shape-shifting organ introduction known as “The Genetic Method.” It was a thunderbolt of creativity, a piece of raw, eclectic brilliance that let you know this fellow was tapping into a deep well of feeling.

It was in the quiet, shimmering corners of the stage that Garth Hudson held court, conjuring wild sonic landscapes like some benevolent alchemist. He was the stout-hearted wizard with a bramble of a beard, hunched over that beloved Lowrey organ, coaxing out sounds that could make a whole crowd feel....
