Ira D. Dotson commented on Sonya Harvey's blog post 'Emily Bell - CD review'

I have loved Emily's voice from the very first time I heard her in Tree Sounds Studio in Atlanta, GA in 2009. She's a breathe of first air to a somewhat forgotten era in music. Congratulations to a lovely and down to earth young lady.…

Emily Bell - CD review

Meet Emily Bell —a rootsy rock-n-roll songstress who followed her musical aspirations with one sweet-ass rambling voice — now she's Nancy Sinatra, Austin’s answer to relevant retro. She could’ve been the star act on a ’60s teenage television dance show, singing like a long-forgotten Marvelette. Her double-sided debut (on vinyl no less – available January 31 on iTunes) is quite stark…See More

Reinstate Hank

The Reinstate Hank campaign calls for the Grand Ole Opry to remit Hank Williams who debuted June 11, 1949, the crowd demanding an unheard of six encores. Sadly he passed before he could return to the stage he loved. Join the campaign, REINSTATE HANK.

Texas Underground #4: Honky Tonk Blood

When a veritable who’s who of Houston’s local music scene get together to embark on a guitar-wielding slasher pic simply titled Honky Tonk Blood you have to wonder what the hell they were thinking? This is a horror film five years in the making, a sort of tribute to the city and the music that gave it life, but as slasher pictures go, death must follow. After all, clawing your way to the top of the music industry can be a hellish…See More

It’s clear…See More
