"Great piece Peter. My wife and I had a similar experience a couple years ago when we saw Levon Helm open for Phil Lesh during the afternoon and walked across the street after his set to see Chuck Prophet at a Rib fest. A memorable night of great…"

"I will be attending Patty's show in Pittsburgh this Sunday. It isn't clear if Buddy will get his own set or not. I surely hope so. As part of our Three River's Arts Festival the show is free, so it is possible that he may not get the…"

"Thanks, Peter. Very nice write up. Glad things turned out like they did. Must have made for one heck of a night."
PB commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'An appreciation of Elizabeth Cook, and her album Welder'
"But seriously...the "smartest musicians ever interviewed" bit made me think for a moment. Billy Bragg stands out, certainly.... Butch Hancock (mainly in a "philosopical" sense).... Bill Morrissey I recall being pretty sharp....…"

""May I suggest, as I've come across this with other reviews, that the author or editor also add a link to the artist's website or MySpace page or anywhere there are song samples as well?"

DeDra Ezell commented on PB's blog post 'Guy Clark at the Belcourt (Nashville, TN), 9-23-09'
"I really enjoyed that show. I saw Guy for the first time in 1979 at the exit/inn and have seen him many times since. As I watched the show it took me back 30 years of living. Guy came to my hometown in 1994 in Lawrenceburg Tennessee. When I looked…"

Austin afterthoughts
A few follow-ups on last week's visit to the Lone Star City:
The guest-appearance by Nashville's Gwil Owen at Toni Price's Tuesday Happy Hour was a nice note to go out on. Owen's relationship to Price's music is something akin to that of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell's biggest hits; he writes these masterfully crafted emotional songs, she knocks them outta the park. Been that way since her… Continue

A meditation on Austin.
"You gotta get up to get down!" exhorted Toni Price from the stage of the Continental Club last Tuesday night, by way of explaining the dynamic shifts that can be common to her long-running happy-hour sets at the historic South Austin nightclub. Thus the hopped-up java-juke of "Too Much Coffee" coexisting alongside the soul-aching heartbreak of "I Doubt If It Does To You", or the spirited reaffirmation of "Hey!" being followed by the lonesome longing of "Just To Hear Your… Continue

Guy Clark at the Belcourt (Nashville, TN), 9-23-09
The occasion for this sold-out performance to about 500 folks at Nashville's Belcourt Theatre was this week's release on Dualtone Records of Guy Clark's latest disc, Somedays You Write The Song, and the structure of the show suggested Guy is particularly proud of this one. Flanked on his left by fellow songwriters and ace accompanists Verlon Thompson and Shawn Camp, and on his right by the much-more-than-merely-accomplished rhythm section of percussionist Kenny Malone and upright bassist… Continue

A toast to the New Lost City Ramblers
As our friend Barry Mazor reported this morning, Mike Seeger passed away last night from cancer at age 75. It was Mike's old band the New Lost City Ramblers who recorded the version of the Carter Family staple "No Depression In Heaven" that a young Jay Farrar later heard and decided to cover as the title track for his band Uncle Tupelo's debut album in 1990. One thing led to another and, well, you know the… Continue
