"This is supremely well-written, Terry. Thanks for giving it the heart it deserves. For many people who attended rock festivals in the 1960s and early 70s, Richie helped define the festival experience. He never gave less than…"

Bill commented on Kevernacular (Kevin Lynch)'s blog post '"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" -- and Duane Allman'
"One of the most consistent recollections many people seem to have of their first Allman Brothers experience from the late 60s and early 70s is that they had never heard anything like it before - an enduring testament to the band and the times that…"
Bill commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Thoughts on Austin City Limits Festival'
"Somebody needs to shoot straight when a music festival starts failing to be about the music. Good for you, Kim. Music festivals have come a long way, and all music-lovers have a stake in keeping them healthy and ensuring that they…"
Bill commented on Joanna Colangelo's blog post 'Review: Al Kooper Brings Us All Back Home at the High Line Ballroom'
"Nicely written, well-deserved, and much appreciated. Al's a giant talent. And you've been awfully lucky - twice."
Bill commented on No Depression's blog post 'You interview T Bone Burnett: An 'O Brother' anniversary contest'
"The success of the ‘O Brother’ soundtrack was a surprise, primarily because of its musical genre - American ‘roots music’ – which would not normally be considered very popular in terms of comparative sales in the…"
Bill commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Exploring Boz Scaggs, besides 'Silk Degrees''
"If ever there was an album that has cried out for a deluxe remastering, it's Boz Scaggs' self-titled first, one of the most glorious, and most criminally neglected, albums of the entire Sixties era. I've never heard another…"
Bill commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Remembering: Jandek - 'Chair Beside A Window''
"For all things Jandek, go to: http://tisue.net/jandek/, the site created by long-time Jandek devotee and keeper of the flame, Seth Tisue."
Bill commented on Adam Sheets's blog post 'Review: Wanda Jackson- The Party Ain't Over'
"Thanks, Adam, for writing such an effusive and enthusiastic review of this album. Not only do I also like the album, but I particularly appreciate your expression of such joy over this music. At the same time, however, I, too, cringed at…"
Bill commented on April Fecca's blog post 'No More Words: Rock Instrumentals'
"Three more: "Gold and Silver" by Quicksilver Messenger Service; "Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder", also by QMS; and "Section 43" by Country Joe and the Fish."
Bill commented on doug heselgrave's blog post 'Learning to listen again - reflections on ‘The Bootleg Series Volume 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964’ and ‘The Original Mono Recordings’'
"The Witmark Demos are fantastic, the sound quality is surprisingly high, and the "coughs, false starts and flubbed chords" that Doug notes are part of these recordings' considerable charm. But there is one apparent audio glitch that…"
Bill commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'just follow my ten easy steps to fix the music business, and i'll never write about it again'
"If a CD is a "non-green piece of plastic", then a vinyl LP is a whole lot less green, it's a whole lot bulkier, and it has surface noise. High-end audio production techniques and equipment have brought CD quality closer and closer to…"
Bill commented on Kyla Fairchild's video
I don't think Hank done it this way... but it's damn cool
"There’s a world of distance, emptiness, and unspoken sadness in this video, a world of disjointed pieces, a world in which this woman - whose identity is unknown because it has been ignored as irrelevant – is utterly isolated: from the…"
Bill commented on No Depression's blog post 'Exile On Main Street vs The White Album smackdown contest'
"Both albums are historic and memorable, but as a musical offering to the world, the White Album simply brought us more. Although Exile gave us some of the best music the Stones produced, the White Album gave us a wealth of new material by several…"
