Hey Ed, I enjoyed the essay...especially the funny jabs at publicist-prose!  Yes..those same words come up often in the limited way we find to describe music.   I like the band...the video was great....having just covered Jayhawks, I…

Simply one of my all time favorite political satire song...I played it for some conservative eing insultfriends once and they were too busy being insulted by the first part to hear the second half lampooning lberals...no one is spared..I love it.

Hi Hal....Funny, I'm watching HAL disconnect Dave from the main space station in 2001 on TCM right now......To reconnect with Richie, I'd suggest just go directly to Heartbeat of Love. If you loved early Poco, you will really enjoy…

The Jayhawks: Time Stands Still While The Music Flows

by Terry Roland

(originally published in San Diego Troubadour)

Great bands often come from great cities and great eras of musical history. L.A., San Diego, New York City, and San Francisco have seen their share of pop music history during the late ’60s in bands like Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, and the Velvet Underground. This turbulent time produced bands that reached for something greater than…

Ernest Troost-Tremors of Songs and other Piedmont Inspirations

By Terry Roland

(originally appeared in FolkWorks)

Ernest Troost’s music is a perverse and diverse celebration of American folk music.  It’s a vibrant festival of tragedy and comedy, a wind-blown crossroads of American culture where Piedmont blues meets modern literature in the darkest…

New Country Rehab: An Interview with a Band That Aims High

Over the last 20 years when a band strikes an original chord and finds just the right note and  lyric with the kind of style that resonates well with Americana audiences, they are compared with either The Band or The Grateful Dead. While the weighty mantle of The Dead kinship have found several worthy standard bearers including Wilco, Yonder Mountain String Band and Phish; there are only a few current bands who can be credibly compared with the magic of the music born in the…

Warren Hellman - Wrongler, Philanthropist, Founder of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival - Passes Away in San Francisco

Last October I had the rare opportunity to have a brief breakfast with Jimmie Dale Gilmore and the late-great Warren Hellman in Nashville. I expected Warren to be somewhat high-powered and even a bit intimidating, but instead, he was self-effacing, light-hearted and kind. The three of us became like old friends talking about our love for music. He was especially vocal about his love for folk and bluegrass and talked fondly about jamming with Earl Scruggs. He talked with…

A Conversation with Ellis Paul

by Terry Roland(originally published in San Diego Troubadour)

 

Ellis Paul holds a unique place in the world of folk music. He brings the relevance, immediacy, and importance of a current topical singer with a universal heart, the vocal passion of an arena rock singer, the soul of the best R&B of the last 50 years, and the poetic insights of American literature.…

If you're a fan of folk, country or Americana, you probably know their famous dads, legendary country singer, Willie Nelson and humorist storytelling folk singer, Arlo Guthrie.

Josh White Jr: A Rare Interview with the Son of a Folk Music Legend

The American dream is not always obvious in the way it comes true. Sometimes it comes true through nightmares. And from the nightmares dreams come true that serve to change the world Josh White Jr.'s father was seven years when, in 1921, he saw his father murdered. But, instead of embracing hatred, Josh White Sr. embraced music by learning the depths of the street country-Piedmont blues from blind folk singers. He turned the poison of racism into music that eventually gained him…

Thanks Terry and glad to meet you. Are you reading Will You Miss Me When I'm gone? I love that book on the Carters. A good read for even those who aren't as big a music nerd as me (us?). Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading all of your contributions and contributing myself as well. American music is about community, so here we are...

Terry,

     First - thanks for responding, and for listening. I'd love to be out there right now...our son lives in Northern California, so we drive out every once in a while. Usually hit the Grapevine after about 15 hours on the road and headed north as fast as possible.

     Funny, neither of us hear it in my voice, but I've been compared to him so many times I've begun telling people that Willie's furious because every time he does a concert people tell him he sounds just like Mike McKinney with Lucky Mud.

     I seriously doubt it, but it's a fun thought. Thanks again for letting me know you heard some of the music. We're having our monthly at-home music festival today here at Maggie's Farm, our 7 acre homestead in the Florida panhandle on the Stormy Gulf of Mexico.

     Door's always open.                      Mike

Have fun tomorrow night. Willie is someone I'm yet to see live.

Hi Terry

 

      As a featured contributor to No Depression, I’m particularly keen on getting your feedback for the following – Please forgive the intrusion if you don’t have the time or inclination to reply.

 

      I’ve posted the following to the No Depression discussion board – you can either respond there or alternatively drop me a line at shatchsurvey1@yahoo.co.uk

 

Thanks very much for your time

Kind regards,

Steve

 

 

 

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy).  I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions.  The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

 

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline.  Please reply by May 20th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

 

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

 

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

 

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?
