Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell at Sage Gateshead
What can I tell you? I’ve been a fan of Emmylou Harris since I first saw The Last Waltz at the cinema in 1979 and Rodney Crowell ever since a friend gave me a copy of Diamonds and Dirt on cassette as a birthday present; so finally seeing not only one of them in concert; but together had made me nervously excited for weeks in advance.
If you don’t know it; the Sage Music centre on the Gateshead side of the banks of the River Tyne is an amazing building that artists now say is…

Interview with Raul Malo from the Mavericks
May 2013
There are very few singers or bands that have a 100% distinctive Trademark sound; but The Mavericks achieved that very early in their career and in the UK you still can’t go to a Wedding without being corralled onto the dance-floor as soon as you hear the opening bars to Dance The Night Away.
After breaking up in 2004 lead singer and songwriter, Raul pursued a successful solo career visiting the UK several times…

CD Review - Various Artists "Music Is Love (A musical tribute to CSN&Y)"
For what it’s worth; long may they run.
Crosby, Still, Nash and Young have been a part of my musical life since my early teenage years with my brother wearing out his first copy of DÉJÀ VU on the family radiogram. Subsequently I’ve become a tireless fan of Mr. Young and adding tracks from the others to VA recordings for sunny days in the garden. So; it was with some trepidation when I agreed to review this tribute album; as I know CSN&Y…

Treetop Flyers at Cluny, Newcastle
As part of my job I go to see a lot of concerts featuring established artists and bands; and occasionally I get a little when I see two or three gigs a week. But, every so often I go to young, local bands and get my love of Rock and Roll music restored simply by the energy and passion I see and hear on stage. Tonight was such a night.
I’d seen the first band, Lilliput, just before Christmas and thought they had potential, especially as that venue had terrible acoustics.…

"Thanks for the post, Alan. Like you, The Wailin' Jennies sort of passed me by, but I listened to the samples of this album on Amazon for some reason and ordered the CD straight away. It sounds great and I am really looking forward to it.…"

Nice to make contact - thanks. Music photography (almost exclusively 'americana') is a hobby - I have hundreds of photos but only started posting to No Depression in the last year. At the moment they are only on No Depression, so really only a few. I also have a YouTube channel (MissOhio1000) where I post videos of the bands that I photograph.

I appreciate the response. Is a digital copy ok? where do i send it? Thank you so much!
Thank you for connecting, Alan.
Hi Alan,
Yes I do post a full set of my photos to my facebook page: Cindy Elliott ( Tucson, AZ). Please feel free to check them out as some of the shows I shoot aren't appropriate for submitting to No Depression. All photos are available for public view. I'm trying to get a website together but it's been a slow process.
Thanks for asking,
C. Elliott
T'was good to meet you

Hi Alan
I am a manager/agent down south (Brighton) and work with a really nice bunch of guys who play Americana/Bluegrass/Country/Folk and have just released an album. This has received great reviews by various BBC presenters including Tom Robinson, CMR Nashville, UK Country Radio and Americana UK. They are being spotlighted on American Veterans Radio this week. Would you be interested in doing a review on here? If so, where should we send the album? The band site is www.porchlightsmoker.com should you want to listen first.

Alright Alan..
I just joined this site yesterday so still feeling my way round when i came across yourself.. was great to see someone from my neck of the woods! The JHC is a blessing for the town and is normally my only draw out of the sticks! I've been writing a few things and have just put out a new album.. would love to hear your views if you have the time... Anyway, keep up the good work and all the best...
Cheers, Colin

Thanks for the tip on Bap Kennedy, Alan!
Hi Alan.
Good to know another JHC afficienado. I sometimes think I should get a season ticket and a camp bed.
Next up for me (unless I do something spontaneous) is the Hackensaw Boys. Let me know if you fancy a pre-gig pint?

So it wasn't just me who heard RT in Factory Second.
I think it's his clipped, choppy vocal delivery.
