"Thanks for this interview. I love the new album and hope there's many more. I caught him in Wilmington last year and he rocked it, even if his yodeler was a little hoarse. Great show, great album, great musician."

Lead Belly bio
I'm hunting up some biographical information about Lead Belly, specifically his time with the Lomaxes. I'm currently reading The Life and Legend of Lead Belly by Charles Wolfe and Kip Lornell. Can…Continue

Top Christmas Songs You Won't Hear At The Mall
Somewhere out there, evil elves cackle with glee every time the Muzak supervisor at the mall pops in the Christmas CD, the same Christmas CD that every other mall uses, every other supermarket, every other elevator, every other... because they know they are slowly driving folks mad.I love John Lennon, but by mid-December, I would rather declare war than listen to "Happy Xmas, War Is Over" one more time. It's worlds better than his counterpart's "Wonderful Christmastime," but listening to the…See More

So in order to keep my place in line, I offer this Holy Top Ten List.
