Good heads-up on the internet broadcast, Mike. Fridays from noon
until 6PM is a great time to tune in to WLUW and get a beat on new
Chicago music along with bands coming through town. It's a healthy
dosage of indie radio at its best.
Of course, Dwight ended up calling in at 4:30PM instead of 5:30PM
and I missed it. When I talked to his road manger during earlier on
Friday, his manager had not even told her that there was an
interview scheduled.
The Reader also did a nice write-up on the show –
Dwight Twilley
8/16, Beat Kitchen
Power pop sounds like it's always going for the big single, and
occasionally a song does break through, but the truth is that many
of the genre's most prolific and defining artists rarely score at
all. Consider Dwight Twilley--a Billboard-centric reading of his
decades-long career would brand him a one- or two- or three-hit
wonder, but that wouldn't do justice to all the equally chartworthy
stuff he kept on writing and recording. Even this trouper needed a
break from the frustration: 1999's Tulsa was his first album of new
material in 13 years. To no one's surprise, it sounded a fair bit
like his old material--sunny, harmonious, infectious post-Beatles
rock, frisky and fluffy and perpetually trying on a big-dog growl
just to learn how to do it. A follow-up collection, The Luck (2001,
Big Oak), proves again that he has the skills, if not the luck. –
