Section: Music Reviews

Sheryl Crow and Jason Isbell link up for music-first night of songs and collaborative spirit

  • Saturday, Aug 31, 2019 ·  

Both bands were well-oiled machines.

REVIEW WITH PHOTOS: The ‘ALTimate’ tour with Live and Bush brings ultimate reminder of the past and present to Walmart AMP

  • Thursday, Aug 15, 2019 ·  

Always go see your favorite music from your first musical days when you have a chance.

REVIEW: Hootie & the Blowfish take themselves, and a massive AMP crowd, down memory lane

  • Monday, Jul 15, 2019 ·  

Nostalgia sells. And Hootie & the Blowfish continue to be very good salesmen.

REVIEW: Three-band rock tour brings some goodness to the AMP in Rogers

  • Friday, Jul 12, 2019 ·  

Young the Giant, Fitz and the Tantruns, and Coin played a ‘good’ show at the Walmart AMP on Wednesday.

REVIEW: Avett Brothers offer a good show at the AMP, but one not quite up to their lofty standards

  • Monday, May 20, 2019 ·  

When the namesake brothers sing harmony vocals, they make one of the most melodious sounds you might see in any concert environment.

REVIEW: Leon Bridges and Northwest Arkansas crowd can’t match energy levels at AMP show

  • Thursday, May 2, 2019 ·  

Bridges and his band either lacked the musical muscle to overcome the crowd around me or perhaps the crowd lacked the attention span to recognize a good thing when they saw one.

The 10 Best Albums of 2018 (or the albums I listened to the most…)

  • Thursday, Dec 27, 2018 ·  

These albums are the ones that spoke to me in 2018. I hope you found a collection of songs or albums that moved your soul this year, too.

REVIEW: Ringo Starr acts like his naturally goofy self during a concert that brings the Beatles to Northwest Arkansas

  • Tuesday, Sep 4, 2018 ·  

The various members would take the lead for a song made popular by their original band, which meant we got to hear songs such as Africa, Evil Ways, Who Can It Be Now? and Down Under.

REVIEW: Slayer brings the heat in final tour, which also brings in four other metal acts to Rogers

  • Tuesday, Aug 14, 2018 ·  

When you’re being beaten over the head with a stick, you don’t always stop to ask what kind of wood it is. A Slayer show is a little like that, but with more fire.

REVIEW: Halsey brings provocative pop show to AMP on a scorching-hot Arkansas evening

  • Monday, Jul 23, 2018 ·  

Those at the show got to see Halsey push through her hits and adorn them with blasts of dramatic smoke, pyrotechnic charges and dancing.

REVIEW: Modest Mouse returns to a new world with same trademark weirdness

  • Friday, Jul 20, 2018 ·  

Maybe, just maybe, Modest Mouse liked their surroundings enough to come back again. And maybe it won’t be another 17 years before they do.

REVIEW: Janet Jackson offers a high-energy dance party to AMP crowd

  • Monday, Jul 16, 2018 ·  

The Walmart AMP booked a superstar for Friday night. And Jackson delivered the kind of marquee extravaganza that we always hope to see at our largest music venue.

REVIEW: Thirty Seconds to Mars uses energetic crowd to fuel their carnival-like live show

  • Monday, Jul 9, 2018 ·  

If you could assemble a concert from a do-it-yourself kit, the result might turn out something very much like what Thirty Seconds to Mars served to a crowd in Rogers.

REVIEW: Glitzy pop showcase by Kesha and Macklemore brings escapism and openness to the AMP

  • Tuesday, Jun 26, 2018 ·  

“You can be sensitive AND blast people with a confetti cannon, if that’s your dream.”

REVIEW: Ray LaMontagne opts for electricity at AMP show with Neko Case

  • Wednesday, Jun 13, 2018 ·  

LaMontagne’s change in dynamics is worth noting, depending on when you might have first heard his music. He’s doing what he wants.

The best albums of 2017 (that I listened to, anyway)

  • Friday, Dec 22, 2017 ·  

These are the albums that spoke to me. I hope you found some music to enjoy this year as well.

REVIEW: Kiss brings out their army and their fire for warmly ridiculous concert at the AMP

  • Friday, Sep 29, 2017 ·  

Kiss is growing into the mature, nostalgic phase of their career, but there’s no sign of it stopping, maybe just slowing a bit.

REVIEW: Roots Fest Day 4 (and final thoughts): Music and plans made on the fly

  • Monday, Aug 28, 2017 ·  

Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas showed off with some delightful weather and large, engaged crowds at most events. The partnership this community has with the Roots Festival is a strong one, too. And we’re better off for having them here.

REVIEW: Roots Fest Day 2: More of the same, with different results

  • Saturday, Aug 26, 2017 ·  

You just never know how a night of music will affect you, which is why we chase it from night to night. And thankfully, we have two more nights to chase.

REVIEW: Roots Fest opening night shines bright in a new location

  • Friday, Aug 25, 2017 ·  

We closed the first night of the 2017 edition of Roots Festival with full bellies, full hearts and a fuller representation of what the Roots Fest might grow to be.

REVIEW: Matchbox Twenty, 20 years after debut, embrace millennial nostalgia

  • Tuesday, Aug 8, 2017 ·  

Matchbox Twenty sounded very much like … Matchbox Twenty.

REVIEW: Tedeschi Trucks Band offers hot jams on warm night at the Arkansas Music Pavilion

  • Wednesday, Jul 26, 2017 ·  

The band had moments of bliss last night – searing guitar, vocal harmonies between Tedeschi and backing/occasional lead vocalist Mike Mattison and a big, brassy backing band.
