Spring Blues Roundup: Reviews of Cassie Taylor, Robben Ford, and Duke Robillard
It was the blues, laden as it is with guitars and angst, that initially drew me to roots music. 2013 has seen a bumper crop of solid blues recordings, including these three highlights."Out of My Mind" by Cassie TaylorThe contemporary blues scene is crowded with young talent. All too often, these young men and women are prematurely catapulted into the limelight as the next big thing; with no time to really develop their own voice, their talents wind up hard to distinguish from every other act in…See More

Live Review: Lizzy Ross Band at Hill Country Barbecue (Washington, DC)
Washington DC is a city of professional transients, drawing folks from a wide range of regional and cultural backgrounds; it can't always be easy for an artist to find the common denominator in a crowded Saturday-night bar. Nonetheless, the Lizzy Ross Band did just that this past weekend at Hill Country Barbecue, electrifying the basement venue through three energetic sets of country, blues, soul, and jazz-inflected Americana. The centerpiece of the act is of course Ms. Ross, a Chapel Hill…See More

"No, his main guitar -- the Epiphone Olympic -- is mahogany and spruce. I think he has played a dobro though on a few Gillian Welch tracks."
Emily Parker commented on Ben Bonin's blog post 'CD Review - Otis Taylor "My World is Gone"'
"Otis Taylor hasn't put out an album that I haven't liked. He's mind-numbingly brilliant. "

These are a Few of My Favorite Tones: Acoustic Americana Edition
On my guitar blog New.Old.Stock., I have a semi-regular column called "These are a Few of My Favorite Tones," highlighting my favorite recorded guitar sounds. Modern Americana music is guitar-centric, and I known there are more than a few pickers lurking on No Depression. It only made sense to dedicate a couple editions of the column to the roots music scene. This first post puts the spotlight on some of my favorite acoustic sounds.Tony Rice on…See More

Ms H commented on Ben Bonin's blog post 'CD Review - Otis Taylor "My World is Gone"'
"I wonder if Taylor's style and commentary have anything to do with him being raised in the western U.S. Being from Colorado (not the midwest or the south or anything "back there") likely has affected his songwriting and the…"

CD Review - Otis Taylor "My World is Gone"
Blues with a ConscienceI grew up in New Mexico, where the history and culture are permeated by the proud legacy of America’s native peoples. The darker legacy of Native American removal and oppression – including grinding poverty, lack of economic opportunity, and social marginalization – is also on vivid display if you bother to venture out of the major cities into New Mexico’s rural areas. On My World is Gone, Otis Taylor laments that America’s well-to-do “ain’t never been to the…See More
