Why Merle Haggard Wrote ‘America First,’ the Song Suddenly Getting a Revival as JD Vance’s Campaign Theme

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Country legend Merle Haggard has been brought into the national spotlight again, thanks to vice presidential candidate JD Vance repeatedly using one of the late singer’s anthems as his walk-up music during the Republican convention this week. It’s not one of Haggard’s better-known classic songs the VP pick has adopted, but a later composition that was released in 2005 and didn’t really get a lot of subsequent pickup until now: “America First.” The Haggard tune played on a loop several times as Vance made his way through the convention floor Monday night, then appeared again Wednesday as walk-up music as the Ohio senator took the stage to deliver his speech.

How Dead & Company Got Their Sphere Splendor: Treatment Studio Head on Creating Spectacular Visuals for the Band’s Vegas Residency

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If you like what you see when you check into Las Vegas’ Sphere for the residency by Dead & Company — and most attendees have come away raving, Deadheads and newbies alike — you can credit much of that to the efforts of Treatment Studio, the creative agency charged with executing the visuals for the venue’s 160,000- square-foot wrap-around screen for the three-month run. Treatment’s Sam Pattinson is the show’s executive producer but, above and beyond that, shares creative director credit with Dead & Company band member John Mayer, after a decade’s worth of collaborations with Mayer on the singer-guitarist’s solo tours.

Sean Ono Lennon on Celebrating John Lennon’s Underrated ‘Mind Games’ With New Mixes and Deluxe Editions: ‘I Wanted to Represent It in a Way That Gave It a Second Chance’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When Sean Ono Lennon — born to John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1975 — was being exposed to his father’s solo canon as a young person, he was hearing it all at once, not sequentially. So he was hearing 1973’s “Mind Games” as one fine album among many, with no need to learn that it was actually an underdog in his dad’s catalog.

Lawrence Rothman on Being Genre Fluid, Gender Fluid and Finding a New Home in the Americana World With Their Revealing New Album

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Lawrence Rothman has been knocking around the music scene for two decades, but not until this year would anyone have likely pegged them as primarily an Americana artist. The L.A.-based performer didn’t necessarily come off as someone begging to set up a secondary base in Nashville — not with a list of collaborators or production clients that included Kim Gordon, Courtney Love, Girl in Red, Empress Of, Alison Mosshart and members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Guns N’ Roses.

Beck Basks in Bittersweet Majesty With the LA Phil at Symphonic Hollywood Bowl Show: Concert Review

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Soy un ganador — this was likely the sentiment of everyone who caught Beck‘s performance with the LA Phil Saturday night. It represented an apotheosis of the kind of pop-star-at-the-pops event that the Hollywood Bowl was veritably made for, with Beck going mostly off-brand as a live artist to emphasize the most languid parts of his catalog for maximal symphonic synergy.
