Good Listening: Kathleen Edwards – Rocky Mountain Folks Festival 8-19-06
A couple of weeks ago, I posted audio from Kathleen Edwards‘ appearance on World Cafe. In that posting, I lamented the absence of “Scared At Night,” from her latest album Asking For Flowers.

CD Review: The Smithereens – Live in Concert
When I pass on from this world, it is my hope that my next of kin will see within my musical collection, a large group of recordings from a particular group from New Jersey, called The Smithereens. If I have my way, curiosity will strike them, they’ll put one of the albums on, and a […]
