I must be out of my mind. I had this mad idea at the beginning of the week: I would go through all of my music samplers from The Oxford American magazine, and post every train song I found in one megapost at week's end. But thinking of it wasn't enough; no, I had to actually go through with it. I began collecting The Oxford American's annual music issues in 1999, with their third one. I was amazed at the quality, both of the writing, and of the music presented. To read more about this annual tradition [...]

Just a quick post here to start out the week and let you know about something that's going on right now. Regular readers should know by now that I work as a part-time DJ at WDVX Radio in Knoxville, Tennessee. In fact, I know some of you only found this site because you've heard me mention it on the air. For those who don't know... WDVX is a listener supported Americana station here in Knoxville, and we are now in the middle of our Fall Fund Drive. Twice a year, we come to our listeners and [...]

I went down to our local Saturday market this morning to pick up some vegetables for dinner. There was a classic bluegrass string band providing the entertainment, so I decided to grab me and the dog a hot dog and watch them for a little while. On the walk back home, I decided it was time to sit down and type something up about the Hackensaw Boys . The Hackensaw Boys are a string band from Charlottesville, North Carolina. They started polishing their chops on the streets, much like that string band I saw this [...]
It's that time again. People are filling vacant apartments in Lexington by the hundreds, in preparation for the coming semester. There are even a few people moving into my house, which is great. I've been putting off some updates for far too long, so today brings some wonderful, mostly uncategorizable music. Ranging from true bluegrass, to Americana, to blues and Southern, these bands pull influences from all the great American genres. The Hackensaw Boys The Hackensaw Boys are a bluegrass band from [...]
Well, as a brief homage to the two great guys in my life, I thought I would just share two songs that I've shared with them on this Hallmark Holiday. Some Beatles to represent my Father and some Bluegrass for my future Father in Law. Thanks to both of these wonderful guys in my life, and I'm glad I get to call you both father. Enjoy and give your dad a phone call today. "Blackbird" The Beatles "Jonah" The Hackensaw Boys
C'est le 19 juin que les Hackensaw Boys donneront une suite à l'excellent Love What You Do (2005). Intitulé Look Out!, ce 4ème album poursuit l'entreprise de regénération du bluegrass entamée par le combo de Charlottesville, VA il y a de celà près de 10 ans. Cette fois-ci, le line-up très changeant s'est stabilisé à 7 membres si on compte Tom Peloso par ailleurs très occupé avec son autre groupe
I have to start with a simple admission. I have no idea what the thought process is for major labels. Do they draw names out of a hat? Nettwerk records – home to Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and Six Pence None the Richer - are generating a stable of blue grass artists. It seems like w eird decision to me, but I can't complain. I really like the Be Good Tanyas and Virginia native the Hackensaw Boys are an enjoyable listen. Like the name dictates, the Hacksensaw Boys are all [...]
So, today's Friday and that means the Bluegrass Showdown between the Hackensaw Boys and the Avett Brothers. As I mentioned on Monday , the GF will be the voice of the Avett Brothers and yours truly will be representing the Hackensaw Boys. I first saw the Hackensaw Boys on the Unlimited Sunshine tour several years ago with Cake and the Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse and Kinky and De La Soul. They played between bands with one mic and that's it. Then, of course, I saw them for the inaugural concert review here [...]
