"I've had the privilege of listening to Amanda's new, as yet, untitled album and it's excellent. Not sure all the songs I've heard (13 of them) will make the final cut when it's finally released, but it's a worthy…"

John Graveling commented on Jeff Burger's blog post 'CD Review - Ruth Moody "These Wilder Things"'
"Her debut solo record "The Garden" was a gem so I am very much looking forward to this. I always felt she was the most talented of the Wailin' Jennys and her songs, were for me, the keepers."
John Graveling replied to TwangNation.com's discussion 'Top 10 Country / Roots Guitarists'
"Will Kimbrough - playing the electric in that clip is one of the kings of the 'less is more' school of players and one of the damn finest players out there."
John Graveling replied to TwangNation.com's discussion 'Top 10 Country / Roots Guitarists'
"There are so many fabulous players and everyone mentioned has played some memorable lines. I would add Doug Pettibone, Pat Buchanan and Dave Grissom to those already listed, but as I said, all have wonderful moments both live and on record."
John Graveling commented on Rod Picott's blog post 'How do you spell Pontchartrain?'
"Nanci Griffith wrote about the Pontchartrain way back in the 80's. Not sure it has as many mentions in songs as Memphis and, in the past 30 years, Baton Rouge. Keep up the great writing and I'll look forward to that new record when it gets…"
John Graveling replied to declan culliton's discussion 'Favourite Album Cover?'
""Deja Vu" always wins, hands down. From the wonderful gold leaf print work to the stick-on black & white photo. Classic.
It wasn't always just about the outer cover, take the middle open out album spread of The…"

John Graveling replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
"Although I have them all on vinyl, I too indulged in those first 5 re-issues. Beautifully remastered and packaged. #5 is such an under rated album, still love and play it to this day, as I do the others. Agree about "Recall The Beginning"…"
John Graveling replied to Sonofspam's discussion 'Favorite Alternative Country-Americana albums'
"Having read through the entire thread this afternoon I'm a little surprised nobody has mentioned Rod Picott. For those who love Fred Eaglesmith and Slaid Cleaves, Rod is a shoo-in. Try his debut "Tiger Tom Dixons' Blues", the…"

"Have to agree with those comments about Dave Alvin. Some great records in there and I would add "Eleven Eleven" to his essential you hear list."
John Graveling replied to Sonofspam's discussion 'Favorite Alternative Country-Americana albums'
""Too Long In The Wasteland" was a game changer for me. A work of great musical depth and the stories the lyrics portrayed were simply wonderful."
John Graveling replied to Sonofspam's discussion 'Favorite Alternative Country-Americana albums'
"That first Chris Knight record is a gem."
John Graveling replied to Sonofspam's discussion 'Favorite Alternative Country-Americana albums'
"Since "Bring The Family" John Hiatt has produced a body of work which matches that of virtually any artist during that time. His recent run with "Mudslide Hyms" and "Mystic Pinball" continues his littany of work."
John Graveling replied to Sonofspam's discussion 'Favorite Alternative Country-Americana albums'
"Joe has been consistent throughout a long span of albums and you cannot really go wrong with any of his work."

Shawn Colvin & Mary Chapin Carpenter, Festivall Hall, London 10/22/12
Shawn Colvin & Mary Chapin Carpenter turned the Festival Hall into a living room last night with their between song banter, manual tuning, and gave it a 70s hippy vibe not a million miles from what artists like Crosby & Nash dished up, making it a wonderful night of wooden music. Shawn is decidely 'kookie-kutter' while Chapin is just the consummate artist but their friendship and camaraderie is there for all to see. We got a fair number of covers starting with opener, "Catch The…
