"I used to say Americana was rock with at least some country/folk instrumentation. Mandolin, Banjo, Fiddle....
Today I would have to define Americana by what it's not.
It's not Rap.
It's not mainstream popular.

Daniel T replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
"Probably the best "Live" representation of Marshall Tucker's most fruitful years. Toy Caldwell is amazing. This disc is a must have for Southern Rock fans. Belongs right next to the Allman Bros. "Fillmore" gig. Haven't…"

"Kevin Welch - "A Patch of Blue Sky" 2010.
I bought this shortly after it came out but, misplaced it, still sealed, in the mess that is my music collection.
Big fan of his work with Kieran Kane and Fats Kaplin.
Came across it a…"

Daniel T commented on Henry carrigan's blog post 'Alvin Lee Goes Home'
"Excellent tribute Mr. Carrigan. Last year I sold all but a 150 of my LP's. Kept all the Ten Years After. We always hear about the 60's Guitar Gods. Alvin Lee, for reasons I've never understood, never seems to be included with…"

Daniel T replied to Jim Moulton's discussion 'Do you buy music or Download it for free?'
"Buy it. Listening to an artists music without paying them for it will lead to less musicians that I like.
If enough of us like the same people, they keep recording.
If not, they go back to their day job.
Taking it for free when you should be paying…"

Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy ~ "Houses Of The Holy"
"Not at all Joseph. Roberts mined the Americana vein for a while and I believe he could keep going as long as he wants. Emmylou would be a perfect , logical , next step. Saw 'The Band of Joy" at Merlefest 2 years ago. KILLER!!!!!"

Stevie Tombstone with guest Loren Barrigar at Creekside Books and Coffee, Skaneateles, NY (1/5/2013)
Central New York is in the middle of a cold snap. Mother Nature has also blessed/cursed us with 2 feet of snow. A night housebound, curled up with a good book, was an attractive option. Add the temptation of the Packers-Vikings rematch and venturing out 40 miles from home was less likely as the time to leave approached. I am very glad I braved the cold, dark drive through back country roads to catch Mr. Tombstone "Live".
His latest release "Greenwood" is an excellent…

Just a Funny Conversation
Merelfest's newsletter came in the e-mail today, with a story from long time volunteer Amos Perrine about a conversation he overheard at the Austin Stage one day, during a break in the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. It involves a fifty-something male FSM, a twenty-something male TSM and a twenty-something woman TSW.
TSM:(Looking at the No Depression sponsor's banner over the stage) What's that?
FSM: It's a banner for the magazine No Depression that co-sponsors this…

CD Review - Bill Mallonee "Amber Waves"
"Amber Waves" is Bill Mallonee's 50th Album. Surprised me, and I've been a fan since the 1992 Vigilante's of Love release "Killing Floor". Prolific could have been coined specifically for Bill. I've been told he writes more than a hundred songs a year.
His WPA series, (11 EP's in 4 years) were satisfying for his fans but seemed not quite fully realized. Rough around the edges, workmanlike, raw.
"Amber Waves" comes to us…

Larkin Poe, "Summer" an EP
This second installment in the ambitious "seasonal" series is another remarkable effort. Shorter than "Spring", but I'm not surprised, or disappointed in any way. 9 songs and 30 minutes of music is some bands annual output. And rarely as high quality. "Summer" clocks in at 6 songs and 19 minutes, each moment a pleasure. These young ladies do need to pace themselves after all. It is an EP, and there are 2 more to go.
"Praying For The… Continue

Nice to meet you. Ain't this a great neighborhood? I've been playing music onstage since 1964 and every time I come on here I'm blown away by the new stuff coming along. See you here and there...

Fleenor & Reap said… - Daniel,
Thanks so much. We're gald you like our songs, and we appreciate your input. We've been writing for many years, and this is our first attempt to write for a specific group of people. So far, it's working better than we anticipated. The album should be finished by the end of June, and will be for sale on iTunes, as well as other online sites and available on CD. Again, thanks. Please feel free to post your thoughts anytime, and help us spread the word. We can use all the fans we can get.
