A Song of Perseverance - An Interview With Jim Lauderdale
If you're a struggling musician I suggest you take a look at the career of Jim Lauderdale. Between early setbacks as a Bluegrass banjo player, and being marginalized in Music Row there were plenty of opportunities to chuck his guitar in the gutter and call it quits. But he persevered and used his songwriting as a musical dowsing rod to move him always forward toward unexpected and exciting places.If the Americana genre didn't already exist it would have to be created for Lauderdale.

Cream of the Crop - Twang Nation Top Americana and Roots Music Picks of 2012
It seems like I say it every year - so here goes, another bumper year for Americana releases blah blah. but it's true!
I've been sitting on a list of about 50 releases all of which could easily be included in a top 10 list of the best of 2012
until the last final minute of a slef-imposed deadline to keep from crapping up my holidays. I had to make a stand.
Here it is.
I finally threw the arbitrary "Top 10" structure out the window and doubled down and…

Video Feature: Rachel Brooke - The Black Bird
A leading voice in of an oft neglected branch of Americana , Gothic and insurgent country, the beautiful and talented Rachel Brooke inhabits the forlorn and high lonesome like few contemporary artists can. Brooke has a way of stylistically casting the modern world in sepia and playing with shadows, and her latest cut The Black Bird from the upcoming 3rd full-length album A Killer’s Dream is no exception.
The animated video for "Black Bird," directed and…

Steve Hatch said… Hiya,
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?

Sole Honorable Mention Best Album Of The Year 2009 -Chattanooga Times Free Press
www.savingcountrymusic.com Essential Albums of 2010 List
"If I were to trace the genealogy of the country music Outlaw, it would start with Bobby Bare, roll through Willie & Waylon and that whole gang, follow Cash through the late 90′s, and end up in the country music underground with people like Peewee Moore as possibly the perfect example of the Outlaw lineage in the present day"
