About No Depression
However, long before this site was born, No Depression was launched as a quarterly print magazine covering alternative- country music in 1995. The publication was co-founded by Peter Blackstock and Grant Alden, who brought in Kyla Fairchild as a co-publisher shortly thereafter. Over the course of thirteen years, No Depression gradually grew into one of the nation's most prominent and broad-ranging bimonthly music publications until it ceased print operations in June 2008. Along the way, No Depression received Utne Reader Independent Press Awards for Arts & Literature coverage, and was cited as one of the nation's Top 20 magazines of any kind in 2004 by the Chicago Tribune.

Each year, the music industry and music fans gather in Austin, Tex., to celebrate music itself. Granted there's plenty of schmoozing and business happening, too, but for one short week live music is king across Austin - from clubs on 6th Street to parking lots in South Austin, and beyond.
Once again, we'll be joining the fray in 2012 with a No Depression Showcase at the Continental Club on Wednesday, Mar. 14.
If you're heading to Austin for…

To celebrate the release we want to give a copy of this deluxe box set away.

Happy to do our part to support you Kyla b/c you have done the heavy lifting keeping ND alive that in turn has become vital to supporting, educating and perpetuating American roots music, which includes all of us in zydeco and Cajun music as well. You do damn nice work Kyla. All the best for a joyful and healthy 2012!

Just got a really nice email from Kyla thanking me for a modest donation. It's the least I can do and honestly we feel a certain level of resposibility to support such high quality work like ND. It's why we support the Blues Foundation, MusiCares, The Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation and other orgs/NGO's that support blues/roots. I am an American Roots music artist. I will own this title 'til I die, so I better do my part now to make it count, so that I'll have no regrets later. Peace, love and zydeco y'all!
