		<title>Rosanne Cash: Composed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Article first published as Book Review: Composed: A Memoir by Rosanne Cash on Blogcritics. Our last post on living, breathing artists led me to another crisis in confidence. Just what is this blog all about? Why keep blathering on about music that, with the possible exception of The Black Keys, most humans simply don’t care [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Songs by Non-Deceased Artists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those of you who’ve stuck with us over the past year might remember a post I wrote a while back called “Tim’s Top Six.” It was a less-than-subtle attempt to prove that I pay attention to music recorded sometime after the advent of the 8-track tape. Almost a year has gone by since that post, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Rockin&#8217; and Rollin&#8217; with The Blonde Bomber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A 56-year-old rockabilly legend teams up with some hungry young hotshots… throws them 16 hard-bitten songs that are ready to burn… and then lets it rip in an old-school analog studio, where everything is recorded in glorious mono. An instant classic? Maybe in a parallel universe, where Elvis swears off pharmaceuticals and fried banana sandwiches. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Box Set is Dead (Part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At what point did we know that the box set was deceased? Was it when the German Bear Family label released a 12-CD collection (with hardcover book) of Pat Boone’s complete ‘50s recordings? Or when America’s leading reissue label, Rhino Records, laid off 20 percent of its staff – resigning itself to the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Box Set is Dead&#8230; Long Live Our Favorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember the box set? Actually, in a year or two we might be asking ourselves, remember compact discs? I came fairly late to the CD party – which is probably a good thing, because a research team comprising the world’s leading acousticians recently found that first-generation CDs from the mid-‘80s sound like complete dogshit. All [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Next Hundred Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever find yourself on a long drive in the middle of the night, searching for those perfect songs to keep you awake but not wired? There I was, drinking a mocha-infused Starbucks cocktail, almost enjoying the sound of my tires hitting the grooves on the right side of the road. I’d driven myself nuts listening [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music by Ry Cooder: 1967-1994</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our new Fly Fishing Correspondent, Kevin Swan, reels in some of his favorite Ry Cooder moments from the &#8220;pre-Buena Vista Social Club&#8221; era: When Rolling Stone magazine published their “100 Greatest Guitarists” in 2003, there were few surprises in the top ten, with one exception: the enigmatic Ryland Peter Cooder. Hand-picked at age 18 to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chico and The Kid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, guitar fans. I know all of you have your favorite examples of six-string nirvana – Derek &#38; the Dominos, The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s first album, Jeff Beck’s “Blow by Blow,” blah, blah, blah… But here’s one you’ve probably never heard. The album: Chico Hamilton’s “The Dealer,” released on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Songs of Worship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday morning – a time of worship. And for me, that worship involves a cup of joe, the Sunday Times, and a playlist of soul-soothing music. (Hey, I did 12 years of hard time at parochial schools, so you Bible-thumpers can just back off right now!) Now this sacred songlist is about as close as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Back to Cryland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here’s an album that came and went a couple of years ago, but I keep getting sucked back into its strange vortex. It answers the question, what happens when a fairly twisted French dude records a loving tribute to his favorite American musical influences? His name is Don Cavalli, and I’m surprised his latest release, [...]]]></description>
