When you hear Merle Haggard, you might think of a sharp guitar riff and great old country voice. What some might not know is his music almost didn’t happen. After serving time in juvenile detention facilities, it wasn’t until he saw Johnny Cash in concert that he decided to straighten out his life. Most recently, he wrote a song for Hillary Clinton titled “Hillary.” He’s better known, however, for his 42 No. 1 country hits. Tonight he plays the Paramount. more at austin360.com

breaking hip-hop producer RZA declares war on analog suckas with Digi Snacks (Koch), his third LP as superhero alter ego Bobby Digital. The kung-fu obsessed Wu-Tang beatsmith is fond of sampling dusty Southern soul records but is backed live by California soul groovers Stone Mecca. As Bobby Digital, RZA spits bizarro non sequitur rhymes in his trademark staccato flow: “I talk with the awkward slang, I walk with the Wu-Tang.” – Thomas Fawcett more at austinchronicle.com

Poi Dog Pondering: After more than 20 years – several famously spent in Austin – and nearly a decade toying with electronics, Poi Dog Pondering returned to its roots. The group’s latest, 7, is loose and funky, filled with tunes that recall their early sun-baked vibe.
“I went through this period where I was involved in a whole different kind of music,” relates bandleader Frank Orrall. “I felt the music spoke better than the words, so I put down the pen. During that period, we barely toured. In 2005 or ’06, there was a drive to write a lyric-based record and get on the road and play everywhere.
“It’s kind of a reawakening where I thought, ‘I really missed this.’
“On our previous records, we used a lot of digital recording and ProTools, because that was the new stuff at the time,” explains Orrall. “It made it easy, because you could do stuff at home. This time we said, ‘Fuck that, the studio is way more fun,’ and we spent a lot of time in these two classic Chicago studios that had an old-school feel to them. It was like, ‘Two-inch tape, motherfucker!’”
Another benefit of the reawakening: Longtime Poi Dog fans will be thrilled to know that the current set list spans the band’s entire career.
“There’s a feeling of looking back over the catalog with a sense of pride,” Orrall concludes. “I felt shy about playing things from the first record, because it felt like so long ago. Now, I actually feel like I love every one of our records, and I want to play songs from all of it.” – Jim Caligiuri

Cowboy Junkies: The idea behind re-recording their seminal 1988 album, The Trinity Session, was to do it “from the perspective of 20 years’ experience,” explains CJ’s Michael Timmins. He also notes that while many of Trinity Revisited’s songs are featured in their set list, fans of the Canadian quintet’s other albums won’t be left out. That’s good news given the Junkies’ dreamy sound, helmed by Margo Timmins’ seductive alto. Visit Earache for more interview. – Margaret Moser more at austinchronicle.com
