Buddy Mondlock- Filament review

Buddy Mondlock Filament BuddyMondlock.com Until this week, I hadn’t listened to a Buddy Mondlock album since Poetic Justice, an album that is as fresh heard today as when first encountered.

Terry Klein Good Luck Take Care TerryKleinMusic.com This month’s theme here at Fervor Coulee appears to be “Singer-Songwriters Not Previously Encountered.” Each have been wonderful—The Waymores, Dana Cooper, Dan Weber, Rob Heath, Jefferson Ross—and I will return to their music.

Ten years ago I spent too many weeks attempting to distill my roots music listening of the previous decade. It was painful work, but no small bit of fun. When I look back at that list, I am quite pleased at how well it holds up: a lot of great music that I continue to…

Rodney Crowell Trio, Red Deer August 16, 2017

Killing time with Guy Clark

So, another quiet Friday evening in the Fervor Coulee bunker. I had about 50 minutes until Blue Bloods started and the PVR was pretty near empty. What to do? Read a book?
