We’re quickly approaching the end of the year which means it’s time to start thinking about Warren Haynes’ annual Christmas Jam. According to the Asheville Citizen-Times, this year’s event will again be one day and will be held at the Asheville Civic Center on December 11. We’re still a few weeks away from the initial artist announcement.
In other news, Danny Clinch posted a note on Ryan Adams’ Facebook Page discussing a feature length documentary the noted photographer/filmmaker is preparing on the year he spent with Ryan Adams and the Cardinals…
“For those of you who, like myself, are fans of Ryan Adams and music in general you may be interested to know that I am currently well into a rough cut of a feature length documentary on the roughly one year of time I spent w/ Ryan and the Cardinals. Ryan can pack alot into a year (or a day, or a minute) and he did just that. Making three great albums , 29 , Cold Roses , and Jacksonville City Nights , oh and producing a Willie Nelson record (Song Bird) , meeting and touring w/ Phil Lesh , ( I can’t believe I missed the metal record he made one night – I think I needed the sleep) , not to mention his paintings. To be honest , Ryan is pretty interesting and to get a good look into his creativity and madness is gonna be a treat, trust me. We are looking for for any video you might have of Ryans fall in liverpool or any live performance of “29”. Please message me on our facebook page or email [email protected]. thanks in advance for you support.” [via The Steam Engine]
Finally, Billboard reports that Primus is working on their first new studio album in 11 years.

Claypool tells Billboard that the band is “recording musical ideas from sound checks and whatnot, even live shows” for possible inclusion on the LP.
