Comment on Watermelon Slim- Escape from the Chicken Coop by Donald Teplyske

Thanks for dropping by Fervor Coulee, Slim. I appreciate the information provided. As you could tell from my comment, I wasn’t sure the reason for your unique vocal delivery, as you can tell from my review, and couldn’t find mention of it elsewhere. I’ve enjoyed your music from the first time I heard it, and hope that EftCC does well for you and Northern Blues. Donald

I don’t have any top teeth. Truckers seem to have worse teeth than most Americans. It’s the diet, partially, the irregular hours, and the involuntary clenching of your jaw while concentrating on what you are doing. The safety of the road and everyone on it depends upon the conscientious truck driver, believe it!

Thanks for the report. As an Australian, I read the line up for Hardly Strictly with a dropped jaw. If we get one or two of that calibre performer a year, we’re doing well. Let alone all on the one weekend. Sigh.

Comment on Old Crow Medicine Show- Tennessee Pusher by Dallas Ashe

I am a longtime Old Crow fan and I had a similar reaction to this album as well. ‘Methamphetamine’ was the first track I heard (in concert, no less) and I wasn’t impressed at all, along with a few others such as ‘Highway Halo’ and ‘Crazy Eyes’. I do, however, feel that the album wasn’t completely barren: ‘Alabama High-Test’, ‘The Greatest Hustler Of All’ and ‘Marys Kitchen’ are good examples of well this band does fast AND slow. I still think Eutaw was their best so far, hope to see them get there again in their musical career.

Comment on Justin Townes Earle- The Good Life by lordcelery

I agree with your review, once again. I was a little nervous when I first put this CD into the player, as he does indeed have a LOT to live up to. But Justin has his own style, doesn’t he, and frankly his voice is better than his father’s! (Having said that, I love Steve’s voice…it’s just that Justin’s is more traditional.) Glad to read what you thought of the CD. I haven’t written anything about it yet myself. Running a bit behind!

I have enjoyed your review. I just wrote about this album as well but not in as much detail. I’ve bookmarked your site and will be back from time to time.
