Alecia Nugent- The Old Side of Town review

Eric Brace, Peter Cooper, Thomm Jutz- Riverland review
Eric Brace, Peter Cooper, and Thomm Jutz Riverland Red Beet Records I’ve seen the Mississippi only once. One Christmas season, the year Kristy MacColl passed, we found ourselves in New Orleans for a couple days straddling an ill-fated Caribbean cruise with the in-laws.

Roots Song of the Week- How about some Tom T. Hall?
It has been more than a month since I posted a Fervor Coulee Roots Song of the Week. It hasn’t been that there haven’t been many worthy candidates- every song on Robbie Fulks’ Gone Away Backward is deserving of attention, and one will likely be called up for consideration soon.

Tom T. Hall’s Songs of Fox Hollow

The Nashville-based writers and singers have released a string of unbelievably wonderful recordings on their Red Beet label. The latest is a tribute to a Tom T. Hall album from 1974; a… Continue reading Tom T. Hall’s Songs of Fox Hollow
Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- July 12, 2010
I was on a brief vacation for most of this past week and my listening reflects what is on my mp3 player. It was lovely to be sitting in the Vancouver Island sun watching the waves lap the shoreline with bald eagles flying overhead while listening to Doc Watson and such. A nice, relaxing break.… Continue reading Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- July 12, 2010
Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- May 17, 2010
Each week I keep track of my listening. While I’m not an obsessive list maker, I do tend to ‘think’ in lists. This week I did my usual radio (CKUA in the morning), satellite (Sirius 65), and Internet (WDVX) listening, as well as albums. While I’m a roots fellow, I do enjoy my pop. Here… Continue reading Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- May 17, 2010
