Don’t know if I’ve mentioned this lately, but…
Andre Salles is a pretty good writer when it comes to musical matters. Or, to put it a differently, if I was a musician and Andre gave me a good review, I’d consider my music a success (whether or not I’d made any money). It’s in the sidebar, but for those who’ve missed it, go visit Tuesday Morning 3 a.m.—he’s just reviewed Richard Thompson’s latest, and he’s got tons of great stuff in his archives. His site’s worth a long look.
