Edd Hurt commented on Jefferson Ross's blog post 'NOW I'M MAKING MUSIC (A Few Thoughts About Larry Jon Wilson)'
I heard one of the young DJs at Nashville's Vanderbilt station WRVU play one of the tracks from Wilson's most notable album, 1975's New Beginnings. So that's interesting. I picked up that album 10 or 12 years ago for a dollar in…
Edd Hurt commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Seeing Charlie Louvin for the last time'
Glad you made the effort. I went to see Charlie Louvin at more or less a real country-music venue, the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree out in the wilds of across-the-river East Nashville with its its gift shops and tourist hotels. A couple of weekends…

I just read this. Wow, I've been using that great line in conversation ever since his second album came out (third down and 110 to go, what's a poor rookie clown gonna do?).
Will James replied to Edd Hurt's discussion 'Jesse Winchester'
I saw Jesse back when his first Robbie-produced album was out and I was in love with it. Drove up with some buddies to a very cold Toronto, I believe shortly after he expatriated. I remember not having a very warm coat, and the U of T just…

I am mildly embarrassed to have to correct my reference to The Byrds album above as "Queen of the Stardust Rodeo" A great title but muddeled with "Queen of the Stardust Ballroom'
The actual title is of course "Sweetheart of…

One of my favorite lines..."if you're skating on thin ice, then you might as well dance."
Worked in Girl Scout camps summers of '72 and '73 in CT and lived for my time off to go hear singer/songwriters.
Edd Hurt replied to Kim Ruehl's discussion '5 Records Which Changed Your Life'
James Brown's Sex Machine album, 1970, made me understand how revolutionary Brown's music was, and is. When I was about 11, I saw Brown on TV doing the single version of "Sex Machine." That remains my first real memory of…
Edd Hurt commented on Paul Cantin's blog post 'Never go too far without some Big Star: RIP Alex Chilton'
I am shocked by this news, because I always figured Alex Chilton would become a respected elder statesman with one more hit record in him, playing Beach Boys songs from a shaded spot in deep New Orleans.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Alex…
Edd Hurt commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'The lexicon of the blues'
Calt is one of the original white dudes from the '60s delving into blues, and a pretty acerbic critic of same. I worked with him and contributed a small bit to his Skip James book--which is pretty acerbic on the subject of the blues and how it…

First saw him at the U of Toronto shortly after he left the USA. Great songwriter, glad to hear he's still going strong.
Edd Hurt replied to mojobone's discussion 'Wilco Versus Poco'
I dunno I get exactly what you're saying here. Poco, in my world, is kind of a country-rock blip.
There was a lot of country-rock when I was growing up and I liked some of it, and perceived even then that it was basically neither country nor…
Edd Hurt commented on Rod Ames's blog post 'Tom Russell's Blood and Candle Smoke - Nearly Flawless'
I like this record--Tom Russell is sort of Richard Harris for truckers! Hilarious lyrics, and does anybody else detect a slight parody...of virile, sensitive and liberal storytellers? The '60s are over but not for Tom Russell, and good for him!
Edd Hurt commented on PB's blog post 'Guy Clark at the Belcourt (Nashville, TN), 9-23-09'
Wish I could've seen the show. For me, the killer song on the new record is the last one, "Maybe I Can Paint Over That." Someone should cover it if they haven't already.
Brendan McCloud replied to Edd Hurt's discussion 'Jesse Winchester'
"Rumba Man" was a staple of my act for quite while back then and you could do some interesting shuffles to the beat. I loved the the line "If my mama catches us doin' the rumba, mama would just pitch a fit."
That last line…
DublinBlues replied to Edd Hurt's discussion 'Jesse Winchester'
Last time I Jesse was many years ago when he played a gig out in western Mass at at Tanglewood. He was on a bill with Emmylou, Jerry Jeff, and the the long forgotten Pousette- Dart Band.
he had an album out back then, that I can't remember,…
Brendan McCloud replied to Edd Hurt's discussion 'Jesse Winchester'
I can't believe there is not more discussion about folks like Jesse and my other old favorites Brewer and Shipley.
The latter two covered some of Jesse's songs and that's how I become aware of him all long before there were even…
