Seven Walkers - An unexpected jewel in the rough

by Doug Heselgrave



Seven Walkers self-titled debut is the best studio album featuring a member of the Grateful Dead since American Beauty was released in 1970



It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that even though The Grateful Dead released thirteen studio albums during their thirty year career that they were always primarily a live band. Many Deadheads in my acquaintance admit to never having taken the… Continue

A Conversation with Sarah Jarosz



I first discovered Sarah Jarosz when a good friend of mine recommended that, knowing how much of an excited-beginning mandolin player I am, I check out her debut LP, Song Up In Her Head. Since obtaining my own copy, the album has been in pretty heavy rotation on… Continue

From the press bio:

Joseph Arthur (Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Organ) / Ben Harper (Vocals, Guitar) /Dhani Harrison (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Bass)



As I Call You Down



There’s a song called “With Whom You Belong” on Fistful of Mercy’s debut album that sums up the simple, but affecting sentiment behind As I Call You Down — a nine-song collaboration among musicians Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper, and Dhani Harrison. A stellar tune that plays out… Continue

James Dupre "Its all Happening"

From the Spanish moss draped bends of Bayou Chicot Louisiana we happily discover the fine talent of James Dupre. His home Youtube videos caught on like wildfire and eventually came to the attention of Jerry Douglas who helmed the desk for James' first recording "Its all Happening".



James began posting clips a few years back and the response was impressive. Unlike the horror unleashed on us by Justin Bieber, this YT star brings… Continue

The Secret Sisters burst out of Mussel Shoals





More than a few neck hairs stood on end when sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers began to sing during T Bone Burnett's recent performances at Hard Strictly Bluegrass and the Speaking Clock Revue. Barely in their twenties, the two songbird sibs instantly won over crowds with their deeply felt renditions of Americana classics like "Big River" and "Why Baby Why?".



The music is easy to like from the get go, but don't let… Continue

REVIEW: Ghost Bikes--Folksinger Jim Page’s Live Masterpiece

By Nathan Moore



Unlike many contemporary songwriters, Jim Page defies musical categories. While the Seattle wordsmith is referred to in certain circles as a political songwriter, Page, in his own words, “refuses to compartmentalize.” “I’m not going down into that ghetto,” he says with a gleam in his eyes. “I’m a whole person. I have a political life and a love life. I don’t pay attention to the labels.” To Page, letting the critics define and… Continue

I have seen rock and roll past and its name is Buffalo Springfield

The surviving members of the late, great and short-lived Buffalo Springfield performed in concert this weekend for the first time since they broke up in 1969. The occasion for the get together was Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit concert, a two day event at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountainview, Ca. I attended Saturday's show.



The reunion of Young's former band was the headline attraction and it was bittersweet. You were left agog at the thought of what might have been… Continue

Introducing Myself

Well, since I'm new at No Depression, I guess I'll start by telling y'all a little about myself.



I'm a singer/songwriter. I've grown up singing in honky-tonks in Austin, Texas. The Broken Spoke was my second home. I'm 19 now. I wrote, recorded and released my first record on Darla Records a couple years ago. I'm almost finished with my second one. I write music because sometimes I'm in love, and sometimes life is hard. Same old story. The first song I'm posting is proof of… Continue

The Lucky Tomblin Band's Honky Tonk Merry Go Round

Like its predecessors, the recently released fourth album from the Lucky Tomblin Band has what it takes to transport you to a Texas roadside bar on a wild Saturday night. No “country rock” or “alt-country” for these folks–this is pure, unadulterated honky-tonk and western swing. If you liked the similarly anachronistic Asleep at the Wheel, you’ll love this outfit, which incorporates such influences as Lefty Frizzell, Bob Wills, Ray Price and Floyd Tillman. After hearing the album, you won’t be… Continue

Never thought I would get a chance to watch Buffalo Springfield perform.

After 42 years apart Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, and Neil Young gave

They sounded great and played about 11 of the old songs acoustically.

Backed by bassist Rick Rosas and drummer Joe Vitale.

I managed to capture (3) songs on video before running out of memory.

On The Way Home, Rock & Roll Woman, Do I…

Paste Magazine Tour - The Orange Peel - Asheville, NC - Oct. 24. 2010

Langhorne Slim As tours built by now-out-of-print magazines go, the Paste tour felt an awful lot like a No Depression show. Naturally, I mean that in the best way.



The night started with a lovely set from Portland, Ore., band Mimicking Birds. It was… Continue

A wonderful couple of weeks.

Lon and I recently returned from the Southeastern Regional Folk Alliance Conference in beautiful Mountain View, Arkansas. The conference was thoughtfully coordinated and presented by its president, Kari Estrin of Nashville along with her production team. We met so many interested and talented people as well as some delightful radio personalities and venue hosts. A great opportunity to connect with like-minded folks. Thank you Jack Williams for inviting us to participate!
