No Doubt

Gwen Stefani proved she didn’t need the guys in the band to craft hit singles. Whether she needs them to make good music is a matter of opinion, though. Whatever your position on the band/solo question, you probably ought to see No Doubt while you still can, as the band’s latest tour comes to Atlanta. Successful solo careers don’t usually bode well for band longevity. With Paramore.

John Prine with the Levon Helm Band

Two beloved musical greats share a bill this weekend at Chastain Park. Prine was alt-country before alt-country was cool — or at least decades before anyone thought to call it that. Going strong since 1971, Prine renders his wryly observed character sketches in a distinctive, reedy twang. Most folks know Helm’s voice, since he’s the one singing lead on the Band’s classics “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and “Up on Cripple Creek” and, along with bassist Rick Danko, “The Weight.”
