James McMurtry: Saint Mary Of The Woods
by Glenn Astarita
Texas singer/songwriter James McMurtry imparts a high degree of literary insight to (perhaps inadvertently) parallel his famous dad, novelist Larry McMurtry. In any event, the vocalist’s penchant for intertwining his wry wit with cleverly articulated, Southern fried lyricism provides a distinct edge throughout. One component of the artist’s appeal resides within his understated delivery amid his ...
Doc Watson and Frosty Morn: 'Round The Table Again
by C. Michael Bailey
“Please make welcome, a national treasure, Doc Watson..." With that fitting introduction, Doc Watson, with his late son Merle’s band Frosty Morn, begin their appearance at the Wilkes Community College, Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Wilkes Community College is the home of the annual Merlefest, a traditional American music festival sponsored in honor of Merle Watson, which was ...
Nickel Creek: This Side
by C. Michael Bailey
Bluegrass wunderkinder return with a much different take on bluegrass. Nickel Creek’s newest release, This Side, is a definite extension of their self-titled first recording and Chris Thile’s and Sean Watkin’s most recent recordings ( Not All Who Wander Are Lost and Let It Fall, respectively). This Side boasts plenty of the trio’s trademark acoustic magic ...

BCH (Berline, Crary & Hickman): Chambergrass: A decade of tunes from the edges of Bluegrass
by Glenn Astarita
As a teen back in the 70’s, it seemed that fiddler Byron Berline appeared on every other C&W tinged rock album I owned. Performances with James Taylor, “The Flying Burrito Brothers,” Stephen Stills and many others represent just a few of Berline’s crossover type endeavors. The artist is also recognized for his brilliant Bluegrass-based work with ...
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver: The Hard Game of Love
by C. Michael Bailey
Tradgrass... Using the politics of Be Bop as an analogy, if Nickel Creek are “beboppers" and the music they make sounds like “Chinese Music" then Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver are the “Moldy Figs." Lawson and his group have immersed themselves in white gospel music as of late to the point that the bluegrass community was beginning ...

Sonny Landreth: Levee Town
by C. Michael Bailey
For slide guitar enthusiasts, it doesn't get any better than this. It is interesting that the finest slide guitarist playing would use a Louisiana Zydeco fare to display his considerable talent rather than its Mississippi cousin, the Blues, but that is exactly what Sonny Landreth does. In the same way that Jimi Hendrix goosed the evolution ...
