The run was a solid 4 plus miler and my fastest time over that course this year! Anyway I apologize to the third bluegrass band that I've been listening to Monroeville for not posting about…See More

Emerging Bluegrass Artists - Part 1 (Northern Departure, Snap Jackson and the Knock On Wood Players)

So the other day Rockin' Acoustic Circus (RAC) a great young bluegrass band posted a link on Facebook for The Mast Farm Inn Emerging Artists Series for 2011. Since I really like RAC, I've checked out several of the other bands that are part of the series and I've found several new bands that I really. really like!! The three bands that I started with (see I say started with because I'm going to check them all out!) are…See More

Stephen Simmons - The Big Show

That was followed in 2004 by Last Call Simmons' debut album with a band. Now it's 2011 that's ten years from the debut album and seven from the sophomore release and Edward finds Stephen's new album (now Simmons' sixth) on the Roots Music Reports Folk Chart at number 39. He goes and looks for…See More

New Folk: Dylan Sneed - Texodus

So one of the albums that's been in heavy rotation on the iPod over the last few weeks is Dylan Sneed's album Texodus. His name caught my attention a couple of weeks ago when I was browsing the Roots Music Report. His 2007 EP release No Worse for the Wear is currently at number 40. "Texodus" the opening track of the album hooked me from the…See More

Rod Picott - Welding Burns

So a week or so ago I was checking the FAR (Freeform American Roots) and there at number 1 was Rod Picott's new album Welding Burns. I went no farther, rather, I just went over to Napster, gave it a listen and immediately loaded it on the iPod. I agree that it's a No.1 album!Now I know Rod's music from Slaid…See More

      As a featured contributor to No Depression, I’m particularly keen on getting your feedback for the following – Please forgive the intrusion if you don’t have the time or inclination to reply.

      I’ve posted the following to the No Depression discussion board – you can either respond there or alternatively drop me a line at shatchsurvey1@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks very much for your time

Kind regards,

Steve

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy). I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions. The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline. Please reply by May 20^th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?

I'm always looking for new places to play so please let me know if you know of any. I have a Critically Acclaimed CD "The Leaving Side Of Gone" available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/peeweemoore and my next tour kicks off February 2nd and hits locations in TX, NM, AZ, CA, NV. Be sure to spread the word if you know anybody in those states. My official website is www.peeweemoore.com I hope to see you around!

-Peewee Moore

"If I were to trace the genealogy of the country music Outlaw, it would start with Bobby Bare, roll through Willie & Waylon and that whole gang, follow Cash through the late 90′s, and end up in the country music underground with people like Peewee Moore as possibly the perfect example of the Outlaw lineage in the present day"

My husband and I never miss a chance to see him, and we listen hard between his songs as well. Like Fred Eaglesmith, he'll have us belly laughing -- and with tears in our eyes -- all in one show!
