Brazos in My Bones – a Premiere from Stefan Prigmore

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

There’s something special about a Texas songwriter. The stories that they share are richly colorful, filled with characters who live life by their own rules. The more outrageous the tale, the more likely that they contain some kernels of truth. Fort Worth’s Stefan Prigmore continues this tradition with pride, spinning yarns as dusty as the […]

Monday Morning Video – Glenn Thomas

Monday, February 22, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

Although I never wrote about Reassure Me There’s a Window, the 2020 release by Glenn Thomas, it has maintained a place in my musical rotation. The album version of this stunning song about confronting loss is lush and string-laden. This acoustic version, however, lays bare the song’s raw emotion.

Folk Alliance Int’l – Folk Unlocked Preview

Wednesday, February 17, 2021 By Shawn Underwood

For most of the last several years I’ve flown back east for what I consider to be the most under-appreciated music festival in the country; the annual Folk Alliance International conference. FAI does a tremendous amount of good for musicians, and the conference itself has many seminars targeted to beginners, long-time musicians and industry professionals. […]

Rod Abernethy – Normal Isn’t Normal Anymore

Thursday, January 21, 2021 By Shawn Underwood

Sometimes songs capture in a snapshot what ends up being a universal truth. John Prine certainly had a knack for it, and a lot of Woody Guthrie’s material is relevant 60 or 70 years later. Rod Abernethy bottled a bit of that with the title track from his latest record, Normal Isn’t Normal Anymore. Written […]

Drayton Farley- A Hard Up Life

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 By Chip Frazier

Drayton Farley has released a new album, “A Hard Up Life”. The songwriting is authentic and has great depth. He has become one of my favorite songwriters, and certainly needs to be recognized as so many other Alabama born musicians have been recognized the last decade or so. Farley if from Woodstock, Alabama; a dying […]
