Okay, had my coffee, ready to get to work.

In No ‘Rest’ for the Working Man, Steve Wildsmith from The Daily Times (Blount Co. TN) interviewed Jason Isbell.

Blues guitarist Cary Morin updated his blog, Open Mic Odyssey, with an entry about his west coast tour.

Peter Parcek added another installment to his Unsung Heroes of the Blues Guitar series. This week he profiled Muddy Waters’ guitarist Sammy Lawhorn and shared a couple of videos.

AutopsyIV reviewed Look Out Mama, the new Hurray for the Riff Raff release and streamed several tracks from the album.

Chuck Dauphin over on Billboard reviewed Uncaged, the new release from the Zac Brown Band. He also tossed up a couple of vids for the album tracks. (as of this morning two had been pulled from you tube by Warner Music Group but one is still available to view)

In more Billboard-esque related news, Ed Christman wrote about the digital music pricing wars presently going on between Amazon, iTunes and Google and the effect those wars are having on the Billboard charts.

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.
