  It's nice to be in Asheville feeling the cool mountain breeze, said the My Morning Jacket frontman at his Orange Peel show.

  I read somewhere once long ago about Steve Albini’s thoughts on live music. Basically, he posited, there are two kinds of artists — those who care only about the live show and use their recordings as a document of them, and, of course, vice versa. Brown falls somewhere closer to the former. It’s just him, a microphone, his DJ Skywlkr and a whole, whole lot of energy. Photos by Rich Orris

  The new album by Asheville's Ryan Sheffield and the High Hills is fill of cleverness, swagger and starry-eyed swamp, with more than a few magical moments. The band performs tonight (Friday, April 12) at Emerald Lounge.
