Jerry Withrow replied to Derek's discussion 'End of the Year, End of the Album'
If it's been mentioned here I missed it - I hope that's what happened. But my standout final track this year - indeed my pick for song of the year - is the last cut on Note Of Hope - Rob Wasserman's remarkable tribute to…
Jerry Withrow commented on Charlie Bermant's blog post 'Live from Guantanamo, it's Bob and Joan'
Along with that interminable "overrated" thread, Dylan-sings-lousy-here posts (and perhaps the inevitable defensive responses like mine) have - for me at least - become one of the most tiresome manifestations of the web. Sudden…

... and thank you, Doug, for articulating with such
resonance, the magician and his timeless spell.

Jerry Withrow replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
Jackson Browne has said,
. "The four-minute version came out really good but the 15-minute version is, like, impossible to cut down," says Browne. "We took out all the biographical stuff, really. They should be providing everybody…
Jerry Withrow replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
Robert Christgau steered me to the Woody Guthrie tribute album Note Of Hope - especially when he referred to Jackson Browne's 15 minute version of You Know The Night as "magnificent". To my surprise, after hearing it, I…
Jerry Withrow replied to Justin B.'s discussion 'Who are some mainstream country artists that make truly good music?'
I was very plesasntly surprised while listening to the recent Ashton Shepherd CD. It doesn't compromise, yet she avoids a stale, archival-leftover feel.
Jerry Withrow replied to Bill Kuhn's discussion 'What was the weirdest show lineup you ever witnessed?'
Ah, would that Bill had handled to booking for Duke University one night in the 70s.... We got Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention .... with Dr. Hook & His Medicine Show opening. What a train wreck! The trouble…
Jerry Withrow commented on doug heselgrave's blog post 'Absolute Disaster: Robbie Robertson’s comeback disc'
I believe Doug went to some pains (unlike many subsequent comentators) to avoid the rampant negativity that plagues some of our recent threads - see "Overrated", and to address the musical shortcomings of this recording. Flamers will…
Jerry Withrow replied to Terry Foldenauer's discussion '5 Most Overrated Bands or Singers'
Thank you Tom McD and David for offering a measure of balance. "Overrated" threads pop up on every forum. It is almost guaranteed that some of your favorites are going to be slammed - fairly? unfairly? ,…
Jerry Withrow commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'Squaresville...the unanticipated essay about the grammy awards'
Thanks Ed. What bothers me is the narrow focus of so much of the criticism I read in so many forums today - not even primarily in this one. I'd just like to see a discussion where genres don't…
Jerry Withrow commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'Squaresville...the unanticipated essay about the grammy awards'
I sincerely hope that this won't degenerate into one of those depressing yet predictable post-Grammy article and comments slogs.
It's been a tough winter , perhaps for few moreso than the music industry and…
Jerry Withrow commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Remembering: Snooks Eaglin - New Orleans Street Singer'
I believe the video's from the DVD The American Folk-Blues Festival The British Tours 1963-1966, paired with Sister Rosetta's Didn't It Rain plus a host of great performances by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Lonnie Johnson,…
Jerry Withrow commented on doug heselgrave's blog post 'Gradual Unfurling - Abigail Washburn's slow burning 'City of Refuge''
Thanks for the dialogue, guys - very illuminating from both perspectives. Saw Abigail and the City Of Refuge band a few weeks ago and she made a point of bandmate Kai Welch's prominent role in this…

My copy took some time arriving, but 'twas well worth the wait! As always, your reommendations top my gottahearit list and I'm always rewarded. Now if can just find that Shiloh Lindsey .....
Jerry Withrow commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Ry Cooder - The UFO Has Landed'
Like several others have mentioned, I'm a longtime fan too. When the notion strikes, I'll still break out in a version of On A Monday or Denomination Blues in the solitary safety of my Civic. Ry gave all us vocally…

Marie Knight RIP
As noted in the news column here, Marie Knight died this past week.
Until fairly recently I'd only recognized her work in passing, as the partner for a time of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I loved that music, but I had taken for granted Ms. Knight's contribution - as happens far too often with the supporting crew on that great gospel train.
Her triumphant return to center stage with the release of Let Us Get Together in 2007 proved what a vital force had been denied due recognition . With… Continue
