Alan Wagman commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On Holly Williams, Kacey Musgraves, and the year of the woman in country music'

"Kim, I respect and enjoy your critical perspective based on what I read here. You have opened me up to hearing artists I otherwise might miss (which is why I was an ND subscriber). Not sure I get what you are saying here even with the…"

Alan Wagman commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Art, the artists and, sure, the Grammys'

"Easy Ed, love the woman from Alabama Shakes! She is amazing and will hopefully continue to make great music for years to come. While I like Mumford and Sons, they were boring. And as Kim points out, the show is about selling…"

Alan Wagman commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'the allman brothers and life of pie'

"Easy Ed, I find this fascinating as I listen to very little of what I listened to in H.S. My tastes have continued to develop over the years, leaving behind Queen/ELP/Yes and the like to find jazz, country, blues, alternative, indie, and yes,…"

Alan Wagman commented on Charlie Bermant's blog post 'Cayamo's Sixth Annual Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience'

Alan Wagman commented on Charlie Bermant's blog post 'Neil Young's Psychedelic Anthems'

"Funny, you seem to feel the way I do about some of the new stuff. Yes it is Crazy Horse but it just doesn't feel quite THERE. Saw Neil and the Horse in Central Park a few weeks back and I felt let down. Like they were having…"

Alan Wagman commented on No Depression's blog post 'Paul Simon 'Graceland' Reissue Contest'

"Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. I always remember the non-word section where Ladysmith Black Mambazo sing "Tanana, tanana. . . " and jokingly used to wonder how they knew about Frank Tanana. A truly wonderful song and album!"

Alan Wagman commented on modernacoustic's blog post 'Teleprompters for Musicians: Cheating or Helping?'

"Much ado about nothing. No issue here with Lucinda's music stand. She is notorious for forgetting lyrics. If the lyric book, helps, great! The flip side is John Hiatt who I saw on this year's Cayamo cruise. …"
