Liz Dexia commented on robert sproul's blog post 'The King of California Comes to Gold Country: Interview with Dave Alvin'
As a resident, I don't recognize Auburn from your characterization, but I was working that night and missed the show. Nice Q&A, hope Auburn can become a regular stop for more acts of this caliber.
Liz Dexia replied to Shawn Edward Cote's discussion 'Where Are the Mainstream Country Rebels?'
One difficulty with this kind of discussion is defining what it is about country music from the past that's missing currently. Or rather, what IS country music? Most of us can agree Kenny Chesney isn't 'country' nor is Jason…

"...MLK is safe..." A point directly attributable to Garth Brooks' video for 'The Dance." At least when he was starting out, Garth new there was some balance between the songs and the performance. Then content lost the…
Liz Dexia replied to Shawn Edward Cote's discussion 'Where Are the Mainstream Country Rebels?'
Listening to current 'country' radio, John Schneider sounds radical. (and not just because one of his guitarists is a friend!) Charlie Robison almost caught on, Townes and Keen have voices mass radio can't accept - nothing wrong with…
Liz Dexia commented on Rick J Bowen's blog post 'CD review -Imelda May -Mayhem'
Don't forget her recent work with Jeff Beck, getting him to swing and delivering some high-energy, high-quality standards
Liz Dexia commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On politics, music, dissent, and being an "American Girl"'
Saw fireworks at the Nugget in Reno and, like a lot of shows I'll bet, the first song in the sequenced music queue was Kravitz's "American Woman." iTunes strikes again! And Rudyjeep, the point is that Petty DOES have an opinion…
Liz Dexia commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On politics, music, dissent, and being an "American Girl"'
On the surface this is merely a fair use incident, possibly involving payment for rights if the song is used at a fundraiser. Politics just makes everything ugly. Campaigns just search iTunes for titles, they don't care about content. They just…
Liz Dexia commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'A preview of Alejandro Escovedo's new album, then'
Back in high school a friend hooked up the Centurys in the trailer he rented. Blew the glass out of the windows playing Mott's 'Marionette'. Ah, memories...
Liz Dexia commented on No Depression's blog post 'John Hiatt commenting contest'
I was planning on being funny or snarky, the default mode for brief comments. But recently a friend went through an horrific relationship, riven with deceit and abuse. She is a strong, intelligent woman who was taken in by this predator and could…

Hey, I've got a lot of time on my hands these days!
Liz Dexia commented on TwangNation.com's blog post 'Music Review: Miranda Lambert – Revolution'
Come on, y'all, Nashville and the major (whatever that means) labels are what they are and there's only room for so much renegade on their rosters before the axe falls and contracts get shredded. Consider that Lambert came from a TV show…
Liz Dexia commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'More posts about food (if not buildings). And the Bottle Rockets.'
If you look at gospel as a self-defined genre you can appreciate it, as with most other stylized forms, if it successfully fulfills the criteria and how well (subjectively, as always) the performances compare to others in the style. Then there are…
Liz Dexia commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'More posts about food (if not buildings). And the Bottle Rockets.'
As 'rock & roll' approaches 60, it has become too much of the broader culture to be merely the domain of hormonally-challenged teens. The purity of that youthful expression has been diluted by age and experience. The best rock, to me,…
