Richard Shindell – South of Delia

Saturday, July 14, 2007 By Mike Milanesi

(My humble vote for “Best yet in ’07”) You’ve heard of the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?” I prefer the “Six Degrees of Richard Thompson.” As a nascent Folk-Rock fan, I took a gamble on a little album called Shoot Out the Lights, and the floodgates opened.

Tuesday, May 08, 2007 By Tom Osborne
