Some of the best music from 2022 in the humble opinion of Flyer contributor George Kuharick.
Category: Music Reviews
Review: The Black Keys gracefully roll through their hits (and other songs) at final AMP show of the year
Auerbach’s tone was clean, and his slide work never let him down. Carney spent much of the time watching Auerbach – as we all did, honestly – looking for cues about when to pick up or slow down.
Review: James Taylor and his world-class band set the tone for a perfectly calm concert at the AMP
Taylor spent both sets spanning the American songbook while also diving into genres such as jazz and the blues. His band was up to all tasks.
Review: Jimmy Buffett’s island vibes permeate the AMP for a (slow paced) party
May we all find a little of Buffett’s unique brand of zen once in a while and get carried away.
Review: Jonas Brothers show their ubiquity during packed show at the Walmart AMP
The ‘Remember This’ tour with Kelsea Ballerini and Jordan McGraw kicked off in August.
Review: Megadeth and three other metal acts bring life to fans in Rogers
Megadeth remains a bucket-list band, and that feeling hasn’t dulled over time.
Review: Pitbull packs a crowd and pyrotechnics into first Arkansas show
Pitbull’s 80-minute set started with a barrage of seven songs in 30 minutes.
Review: A sea of fans greets Phish for their first Arkansas show (and their first since the pandemic started)
Phish operates as a unit, one that’s clearly played together for nearly 40 years.
The Top 10 albums of 2019 (that I listened to, anyway)
This is a best attempt at a best-of list. I hope something here that moves you, too.
Sheryl Crow and Jason Isbell link up for music-first night of songs and collaborative spirit
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
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
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
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
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
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.
