If you never stretch, you'll never know what your limits are. Muscatine band Burnt Ends stretches a lot, and - as the group's new album Trip the Dandy nears its end - finds its limit. To put it bluntly: On an otherwise sure-footed album that rarely plays it safe, the rapping was a terrible choice - incongruous and baffling.

We wish to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for the generous coverage of One River Mississippi provided by the River Cities' Reader. The article, photos, map, and survey printed in the June 21 issue provided clear and accurate information. The cover was dynamite, as well! The countdown ads that began in May helped to create early interest in this event. Thanks for being with us every step of the way.

Should citizens of this state have a right to know whether their governor and his administration are under criminal investigation?

According to the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, the answer is "no."

Graciously A new benefit CD is worth putting your money where your heart is, created when the Wavelab recording studio in Tucson, Arizona, wanted to reach out across the desert and aid Habitat For Humanity's Musician's Village project in New Orleans. Graciously: A Gulf Relief Compilation features a dozen exclusive new tracks from artists who've recorded albums at the studio, including Robyn Hitchcock, Devotchka, John Doe, Howie Gleb, Friends of Dean Martinez, and Calexico. Look for it next week on store shelves from the Funzalo Records label.

 

On June 26, Palmer College of Chiropractic received a letter from Kresge Foundation President and CEO John E. Marshall III announcing that the college had been awarded a $750,000 challenge grant for bricks-and-mortar funding from the foundation. The grant is being awarded to assist the college in reaching its capital-campaign goal of $35 million. Including the Kresge grant, the college has raised more than $31 million in cash and pledges, and the campaign was on-track to reach its $35-million goal by the end of the year. The Kresge funds will be dedicated solely to the construction of the Chiropractic Learning Resource Center (CLRC) on the Davenport campus. The CLRC will be a three-story building (with approximately 50,000 square feet of space) located on the east side of Brady Street on the Palmer campus. The new CLRC and its progressive-clinic facility will further enhance the education students receive at Palmer College of Chiropractic and offer expanded chiropractic-clinic services to patients in the community. Work is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2007.

Carbon Leaf

The Redstone Room

Wednesday, June 28, 8 p.m.

Carbon Leaf "Don't quit your day job" is a common rebuke to performers. I bet the members of Carbon Leaf - performing at Davenport's Redstone Room on Wednesday, June 28 - are grateful that they ignored that admonition. Described by the group's drummer, Scott Milstead, as "a 5-piece acoustic/electric/mandolin/rootsy/poppy rock band" - whew! - the Virginia natives did indeed quit their day jobs in 2002 after seven years together and, since performing full-time, have never looked back; their most recent album, Indian Summer, had Music Box Online's T.J. Simon raving, "The album delivers so many magnificent moments that it's a difficult task to put a finger on any one favorite selection." And in case you were wondering where the band's moniker originates from, Wikipedia reveals that although specifics are "murky," Carbon Leaf's Barry Privett and Terry Clark supposedly came up with the name - among several possibilities - during a rafting trip. It's definitely better than their other options: Where the Hell Are We? and Should We Be Worried That Kevin Bacon Is in the Raft Next to Us?

Joe & Vicki Price, 2 p.m.

Joe and Vicki Price He's been described as "a bit rough and tons of fun"; he's been hammering out the blues for more than 30 years; he's been getting more and more recognition for his talent; and he's going to be in the tent on Sunday.

Joe Price has been attracting the attention of blues fans since his days with the legendary Mother Blues Band. In 2002, he was inducted into the prestigious Iowa Blues Hall of Fame, and just a few weeks ago he was one of the six out of 50 musicians who made it to the finals in the solo/duo segment of the International Blues Challenge. The editors of the National Guitar Catalogue considered him important enough to feature a picture of him playing the National ResoLectric Guitar in their efforts to boost sales of the instrument.

The Westside Andy & Mel Ford Band, 2 p.m.

Westside Andy & Mel Ford Band Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd calls Andy Linderman "one of the most dynamic electric harmonica players of our generation."

Jazz performer and producer Ben Sidran calls Mel Ford "one of the finest blues players in the Midwest if not the country."

Put "one of the most dynamic electric harmonica players" on the same stage with "one of the finest blues players in the Midwest if not the country" and you have one of the most exciting blues groups in the country: the Westside Andy & Mel Ford Band.
