Neil Taylor commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'In Linda Chorney's defense'
   The Grammy's are a shammmy.  There is zero credibility for a Grammy, it is just a feeding trough for the commercial music industry.  It's all pay to play.  Some good music makes it through, but mostly as window…

Neil Taylor commented on Kyla Fairchild's blog post 'RIP Warren Hellman'
     Warren Hellman was a man who cast  a very, very long shadow that will not soon be filled.  He was a hero of heroes, a man who towered above all others.  He was one of the last of his kind, a man with a vast…

Neil Taylor commented on Turnstyled, Junkpiled's blog post 'Steve Earle Kicks Folk's Ass: A 2012 Grammy Nomination Op-Ed'
    You can call it what you want, and it may be all things to all people, but MY Steve Earle is a loud, nasty ass rock and roll motherfucker.  The Dukes at their loudest rock harder than anyone except maybe Metallica.  Of…

Neil Taylor replied to Paul Nelson Kimball's discussion 'Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Survival Tips' in the group San Francisco Alt.country/Roots/Americana Fans
  You speak wisdom.  Let me add we should all pay our respects to the woman this year's festival is dedicated to and who , in actuality, made this whole thing happen- Hazel Dickens.  It will not be quite the same without…

Neil Taylor commented on Mando Lines's blog post 'John Hiatt: Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns'
   This man is truly an amazingly talented songwriter!!!!  He's been one of my music heroes since the start of his career, but as we both age, his view of the world and the wisdom in his songs just gets more and more…

Sadly, I completely agree with you.  I have nothing to add.  It is the cold hard facts of life.

Neil Taylor commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'the passing of clarence clemons'
   Clarence Clemons will long be remembered as one of the greatest saxophone players in rock and roll history! He was as crucial to Bruce Springsteen's music as his telecaster.  With his horn framing Bruce's entire…

Neil Taylor commented on Ryan Mifflin's blog post 'RIP Clarence Clemons'
Get a clue, people!   We are talking about someone who is one of the most crucial performers in rock and roll history!  He was not just a marginal back-up horn player, he was a major part of the sound that has made Bruce Springsteen…

Neil Taylor commented on Michael Bialas's blog post 'Review: Where Do the Drive-By Truckers Go From Here?'
   I absolutely love the DBT's entire catalog, but I think they are slowly getting too AOR-they need to plug it in, turn it up, and burn it down!!!!!!!!!!!

Neil Taylor replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'Top Country Songs About the Devil'
  Oh, there are so many great ones, tip of the hat to Kristofferson, but, really, the best of all has to be Hunter/Garcia "Friend of the Devil".

Neil Taylor replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
The title song rocks! and it is a history lesson depicting a great music scene that has disappeared.  And "the Man in the Bed Isn't Me" is a touching song about his father that I totally identify with from my own experience…

Neil Taylor replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
This week?  Oh Mercy/Bob Dylan, a forgotten gem.  Daniel Lanois production and a great band with New Orleans' finest players and great songs I had forgotten about- got reaquainted with it for the ever timely Political World"!
