John Lilly: Cold Comfort
John Lilly has been lauded on Flyinshoes Review many times because in his own low-key, unassuming way he has seemed to be the truest modern embodiment of the music of Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. Over several albums he has developed a knack of writing songs that sound half a century old, and has performed them with an…

John Lilly-"Cold Comfort"
I first met John Lilly soon after he became the editor of "Goldenseal," the magazine of West Virginia traditional life. But our first substantive conversation did not occur until I discovered that we both have a love of Hank Williams. John's first annual Hank Williams Tribute concert (which has become a staple of the state's music scene that was reviewed in No Depression magazine on January 15, 2010 and it's next…

Rebecca Pronsky: Viewfinder
If you're any sort of a country music fan, the opening bars of Viewfinder will have you drooling with pleasure. As a great big twanging guitar picks out a melody line against a cantering rhythm, Rebecca's strong vocal cuts in, warm with vibrato and cool with authority. It sounds kind of like Natalie Merchant singing Ghost Riders in the Sky…

The Nashville Americana Storytellers Collection (Adroit Records)
Adroit Records is a new venture by Nashville producer Jim Tract which seeks to celebrate the folk who write the songs that give the stars their hits. I'm not too sure about tacking the Americana label onto this collection but I guess folk don't take that tag too seriously…

Jeff Talmadge: Kind Of Everything
About eleven months ago I posted a "catch-up" review, still available on this blog, of Jeff Talmadge's previous two albums and mentioned that there was a new one in the pipeline. Well, here it is, and pretty much everything that I wrote last time round applies to this new work. Jeff is a Texan…
