The Americana and roots music authority
thank the people who introduced you to good music!
so it's New Year's Eve - a time for reflection - or drinking, you take your choice...
but I was sitting here thinking about how we come to know good music - sometimes, of course its through the auspices of magazines, radio, on line discussion such as this wonderful forum. but more often, its personal recommendation, and I started to think about all those friends who've said' hey, have you heard so and so? check them out - you'd love it'.
so I'd like to say a public thank you, first off, to my Uncle Martin, who in the early 70s trusted his adolescent niece with his pristine first pressing Bob Dylan albums, and said 'you'll like these - go and record them on to cassette'.
who would you like to thank?

Wow, I just finished listening to your CD I bought when you came through San Francisco and played the Rip Tide out in the foggy Sunset District.
Happy New Year to you.

I suppose my first thanks should be to my dad. When I was a kid he introduced me to the majesty of the Stax label. It's influenced the way I've listened to music ever since. My dad introduced me to a lot of good music when I was a kid and now I try to return the favor to him when we see each other.

that's impressive - your Dad seems to be an exception - most of us look down on our paren'ts musical tastes as we go off and find our own musical path.
my Dad played a lot of classical music when i was a kid which at the time i loathed - Ican appreciate some of it now.... in certain moods

Sid Griffin , ex - Long Ryders .
Way back in 86 i saw an album by a band i'd never heard of in my life - The International Submarine Band.
i was into The Smiths , The Cure , New Order stuff like that but i was intrigued and read Sid's sleevenotes on the back . He made it sound so good that i had to take a chance................Been hooked on Country , Americana etc ever since !Thanks Sid !

Thanks to my mom, Carol, who gave me my passion for music. As a baby, She rocked me to sleep singing the Beatles' "Golden Slumbers". She tickled my imagination with Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger." She sang me the lyrics to Cat Steven's "Moonshadow", James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" and The Eagles. As I got older, she introduced me to Ricky Skaggs, The Judds, Hank Jr.
But I must thank my late grandfather, Gilbert for introducing me to Hank Williams. The fondest memories I have of him revolve around my brother and me listening and singing to the album Hank Williams Greatest Hits. Our favorite as kids was of course Kawliga:
