Johnny Cash and the Power of Self & Myth
Johnny Cash is known as "Our Founder" at Dirty Roots Radio. I give him that distinction because he was probably the gateway that led to what has become my musical taste today. It's an honor intended to recognize his fearlessness in his music, in championing causes he believed in, and in living boldly according to his own internal compass. Here are some thoughts I threw down on February 26th - what would have been his 81st…See More

""Feeling Mortal" is a recording that you have to get on CD or LP to enjoy, please don't waste it by getting mp3 only. One of the best analog recordings that I have heard in a while, This is one of Kris's best."
Will James commented on Ryan Mifflin's blog post 'CD Review - Kris Kristofferson "Feeling Mortal"'
"The colors and design of the album harken back to his first Monument release, purposely I believe, and so to me does the content. I can say no more about Kris than I've said since I found this album after a search all over town, I love this…"

Right out of the gate he indicates, a cappella for the first line of the album, that death is on his mind. He’s “wide awake and feelin’ mortal”. Yes, Kristofferson will turn 77 in June.

CD Review - Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite "Get Up!"
Freakin’ January. It’s all cold and desolate. Everyone’s tapped out so there’s nothing happening anywhere. Businesses are cutting back. People stay in.
Artists don’t usually release new albums or material in January because, again, everyone’s broke from Christmas and pinching pennies. Besides, most of them released their latest stuff in November so their fans could buy it for the holidays.
Freakin’ January. A creative wasteland. (Or would that be a wasteland of…
