Shanmless promotion:

I've partnered with Jeff Wall (who many of you may know from Merlefest and the Americana Music Festival) to bring back the webzine Twangzine. We plan to expand in the coming months but our January 2006 issue is now up.

Beware there is some language not suitable for well - a lot of people. My mother would have a fit if she knew I was affiliated with such ;-)

Here's what we have in this issue:

Reviews Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights Terry Anderson and the Olympic butt-Kickin Team Slim Chance & The Convicts - The Dark Side of the MoonPie Patsy Cline - Sweet Dreams Still - DVD Rodney Crowell - The Outsider Arlo Guthrie - Live in Sydney Robert Earl Keen - What I Really Mean David Knudsen - The Weeping City James McMurtry - Childish Things Jake Shimabukuro - Dragon Larry Sparks - 40 Greg Trooper - Make It Through This World The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan

Articles Slim Chance & The Convicts: Twenty Years and Still Kickin'

CONTEST

You'll also find a huge archive of reviews and articles primarily written by Jeff (we hope to add my reviews from other publications at some point).

Please sign up for the mailing list. You won't receive more than one or two emails a month. One email will notify you that the new issue is up. The other will be an announcement of any timely events (festivals, music conferences, etc.), contest winners, and anything else that can't wait until the next month's issue.

If you are a musician yourself and have a CD you'd like us to review, please feel free to send it to Jeff or me. Jeff's contact information is on the site (mine will be soon) and my contact information is below.

Enjoy!
