| Notes from ND
For most of us, going to a concert is something in which we can invest a lot of time, money, and energy. First of all, you have to plan ahead, buy tickets (not always super cheap, which means you have to budget for it), figure out how to get there if it's a festival or something for which you need to drive to the nearest city...it can be an event. Has it ever slipped your mind, though? Months later, you wonder when the show's going to come up on your calendar, and you realize you never put it in there? Share the sordid tale in this new forum and commiserate with other fans who let themselves down. Or, simply keep reading for some highlights from the past week...

RIP Susanna Clark (March 11, 1939 - June 27, 2012)
by Tamara Saviano
I've gotten many sweet condolence calls and messages about Susanna Clark's death, yet I don't feel worthy of them. I'm not a close family friend. I was Guy's publicist until I started working on his biography, but even then, I was Guy's publicist, not Susanna's. Now, I'm the biographer. At an authors' panel earlier this year at Folk Alliance someone from the audience asked the panel if it was easier to... More

Her work contains elements of folk, blues, classical, and hip-hop that culminate to form a uniquely fresh hybrid that is all her own. Emily's blend of multiple musical approaches... More

Review of Joe Walsh - 'Analog Man'
by Big Boy
It's great to have Joe Walsh back as the main event. Even better, his trademark yowl and stinging guitar seem to have survived the ravages of time and self-abuse pretty much unscathed. Even though the title cut has Walsh yearning to travel back in time, his accompanying music is timeless. "What's wrong with vinyl," he asks, reproducing... More

 Neko Case - Destiny rides again
by Craig Havighurst
It's a recurring theme in our conversation, though not by design - which is perfect, because that pretty much is the theme. Grand plans just seem to fall into Neko Case's hands, like a destiny she had nothing to do with, but she seized the opportunity when it arrived. "Maow announced to me that I was in the band. And I said, OK!" she recalls of how she ended up in an all-girl punk rock trio in the mid-'90s. Later, she's recalling a conversation with Bloodshot...More
