  • Willie Nelson discusses his new Pedernales label. Its first release? Sons Luke and Micah Nelson's band 40 Points.

  • It was forty years ago today, more or less. Hey, who are all those people on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

  • With the latest additions to its June 14-17 lineup, Manchester, Tennessee's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is shaping up as the summer's most eclectic rock campout. Ornette Coleman, David Bromberg, and the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars join the Police, Widespread Panic, White Stripes, Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Wilco, the Flaming Lips, the Richard Thompson Band, and more than six dozen other acts. Too bad there aren't more motels in the area.

  • Norah Jones is taking her exquisitely performed yet decidedly downbeat Not Too Late material on the road beginning April 13 in Wallingford, Connecticut.

  • Corinne Bailey, AKA "the British Norah Jones," begins her US tour April 3 in Irvine, California.

  • The best music video on YouTube? Uh, no. That would still be this one.

  • Former Jefferson Airplane singer Grace Slick, 67, and manager Bill Thompson have sued Paul Kantner, 66, for allegedly using the band's "Starship" moniker without permission—and not for the first time.

  • Apply plenty of sun block prior to reading this roundup of summer country music festivals.
