larger view Not to worry.  There's something you can do while Hank is tuning up his instrument. I'll be offering a karaoke version of the song for those who wish to sing it on their July 4th celebrations.  You can catch the melody (via a song sample) and learn the words, by going...

Before Buck and before Merle, there was Mr. Lloyd Reading.  He's the most accessible living legend from the earliest of the Bakersfield Sound generation.  At 89 years of age, he's the man the younger generations of Bakersfield Sound-rooted artists are turning to for mentoring and for...

This photo I took is not posted here to necessarily represent my preference.  I enjoy both and I need you to help me if I'm ever caught in this jam (pun wholly intended): It's a Saturday night.  There's a kick-ass country band playing at Trout's and there's one playing over at the...

They call it laryngitis.  That's what I was stricken with after spending a night in Calgary, Alberta at a hotel where too much cold air from the air conditioner blew on me all night long. So I left my voice in Calgary, Alberta, but brought my heart, and my pen with me.  This morning, I...
