The Week in Music…Blogs – Jan 12, 2013 to Jan 18, 2013
Everyone has snow…except us. Apparently, through the force of my will alone, I have created the only snow-free zone in the southeast.
Bman’s Blues Report had a nice article on the upcoming 3rd Annual Clarksdale Film Festival. If you all get a chance to go, check out Cat Head while you are roaming around town.
Little Indie Blogs previewed the new single ‘Portrait‘ from singer Josephine Oniyama and shared her touring schedule for the next couple of months.
Many years ago when the ‘Bit was still a tiny bit, Kahuna and I lived in Florence, Al for a while. Florence is a cool place to live – big blues festival in the summer, great downtown and some of the neatest kid parks I have ever seen. It is also just across the river from Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. Together they form what locals refer to as “The Shoals”.
This is also the place where four session players (Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, David Hood and Jimmy Johnson) bought a recording studio in 1969 and created the distinctive Muscle Shoals Sound. The documentary Muscle Shoals premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Below is the trailer for the movie.
Autopsy IV from Ninebullets.net put out another awesome radio show Thursday night. I have been trying to find a Dorado track to put in the jukebox so it was nice to hear them in the show. He also had tracks from Drag the River (yay!) and The Heavy Horses as well as a new release from Shooter Jennings. Pop over to Ninebullets and check out the track list, then follow the link to listen to the recording of the show. Bryan shared the news on his Facebook that the Ninebullets Radio Show will be moving to Saturdays 2-4pm in Feb. (This adds an hour more of music to the show!)
Okay, must have more coffee and a biscuit. As always, if you have a music post or news you want just drop a comment below or send me an email to guitarkit at gmail.com and I’ll put your link in the post.

The Week in Music…Blogs – Dec 29, 2012 to Jan 4, 2013
Mostly Harmless with Dammit Damian tossed up his Top 10 of 2012 and added a podcast to the mix.
Farce the Music listed their top 75 albums of 2012.
Easy Street Records blogged about the closing of their Queen Anne (Seattle) area record store. (- thanks Penny)
Rune from Ninebullets.net listed his favorite albums of 2012 while AutopsyIV spun out another amazing Ninebullets Radio Broadcast.
Usually I link to articles written by bluesman Peter Parcek, but today the article is about him. Check out George Pelletier’s interview with Parcek for the Bedford Journal.
From the Music Maker Relief Foundation – check out this new video of Ben Payton playing Black Dog Blues:
Finally, from Noisetrade.com, Mason Jar Music presented The Storm is Passing Over – A Hurricane Sandy Benefit album from Mason Jar Music and Friends.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Brooklyn-based collective Mason Jar Music has assembled an all-star collection of indie-folk artists to create The Storm is Passing Over, a benefit album of fifteen classic American storm songs. Donations exchanged for these recordings will go directly to support ongoing relief work in New York City and the tri-state area.”
Lots of great songs on this. I am partial to the Memphis Minnie and Joe McCoy version of ‘When the Levee Breaks’ but Micheal Daves does a nice job on his rendition. ‘The Storms are on the Ocean’ by Aoife O’Donovan is beautiful and probably my favorite of the group. I also love ‘Lonesome River’ by Roseanne Cash (love, love her arrangment on this) and Tift Merritt’s ‘Swing Low Sweet Chariot’.
The album is available to download for free but a tip jar has been set up on the webpage and all tips will go to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
That’s it for me this week. If you have a music blog or site and want to be added to the list above just drop me a note with your addy either in the comment section below or in an email to guitarkit at gmail.com and I will pop your entry into the post.

The Week in Music…Blogs – July 21 to July 27, 2012
I pretend this is moment Jimmy read my tweet.
Last night I watched the StageIt concert with Jimmy Buffett and it was so very cool.
The StageIt crew (along with Evan Lowenstein) set up in Jimmy’s dressing room at Comerica Park in Detroit.
Mike Utley hung out and Matt Hoggatt showed up to sing one of his songs.
Jimmy sang Tin Cup Chalice and Boat Drinks. He also read tweets aloud as they went by and now everyone watching knows I was eating soup right before the show.
( I didn’t know Jimmy would see the pre-show tweets or I would have, you know, sent something clever or cool…or just not weird)
The show was a lot of fun and Jimmy raised over 20,000 for charity. Yea!
In the world of music blogs -
Emma Warren from Music and Words by Emma Warren described the opening ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics and went over a good bit of the music played for the event.
Eddie Baranak from The Sights is keeping a tour diary. His latest entry has quite a few photos and general ‘on the road’ stuff.
American Blues Scene interviewed Big Llou Johnson on his new album, They Call Me Big Llou, his acting, B.B. King, the Just Blues Music Awards and his radio and announcing work. The entire interview is available to steam from the site as a podcast.
Autopsy IV from ninebullets.net asks the readers to Gimme Your Top 5 Of The First Half Of 2012 and also lists his choices.
Rachel from Adobe and Teardrops interviewed singer/songwriter Hannah Aldridge on her music, her family and her new EP, Wanderer. Rachel also streamed two tracks from the EP.
I am going to finish up with the new Gaslight Anthem vid:

Michael Barwise from Michael’s Music Madness has his own radio show. He wrote about it and his other work at Hospital Radio.
Finally, check out #Rock Out With Your #Folk Out Press, which is kind of a daily music news aggregate helmed by singer/songwriter Corey Koehler.
That is it for me this time around. I have been fighting a killer cold all week and am ready to just crash on the couch and play Dawnguard. As always, if I missed your blog or you have a link to share please send me a quick email or leave your addy and info down in the comments section.

The Week in Music…Blogs – May 12 to May 18, 2012
So my coffeemaker DIED a horrible death yesterday and as @varnishgal so eloquently commented on Twitter - Yes, I was a resident of Suckville.
- Yes, it looks like it’s leaning but I am too
lazybusy to retake the photo.
However, after much inspecting of phone pics and email discussions the mighty Super-Kahuna picked a new coffeemaker up from the store right after work. And yes, after setting it up and running the water cycle-thing I did brew a pot and drink some. Captain America approved this endeavor.

The Week in Music…Blogs – May ?? to May 12, 2012
I thought I was having slight technical difficulties with the blog this weekend but now it is more like problems with my internet connection. Going to try and get the list out anyway.
Dave Reffett from Guitar World interviewed Walter Trout in an awesome monster article that covers the new release, Blues for the Modern Daze, gear, other blues players and much more.

Those couple of weeks I was unable to put the music blog list up I missed several Unsung Heroes of the Blues Guitar articles by musician Peter Parcek. This weeks article is on Jimmy Nolan but if you have a few minutes check out some of the others as well.
Linda Leinen (shoreacres) from The Task at Hand was in Iowa, Louisiana at the spring Rabbit Festival for food, fun and Zydeco music.
Okay, I have tempted fate and my connection long enough and the thought of roasted rabbit is making me hungry. If I missed your post and you would like me link to it please drop a comment on the post or send me an email at guitarkit at gmail dot com
Off to make (sadly non-rabbity) chili!

- Blurred…
February 12, 2013 | 4:06 pm
I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...] - Arc & Stones…
February 11, 2013 | 4:53 am
Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...] - Telegraph Taboo…
January 21, 2013 | 8:45 am
So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...] -
