Book Reviews

Book Review: Stephen Deusner “Where the Devil Don’t Stay: Traveling the South with the Drive-By Truckers”

September 10, 2021 Tim Martin 1

First full-length book on this quintessentially southern band. As my colleague, and our Books Editor, Rick Bayles, noted last month, there seems to be a trend towards quite academic writing about music. This may be as […]

Interview: Jim White on Trey Blake and the backstory of “Precious Bane”

February 12, 2026 1

If you’ve heard anything about Jim White, you’ve probably heard about the surfing, the modeling, the cab driving, and the unlikely way David Byrne changed his life with a record deal. You’ve heard about the junk […]

Behind the Songs

Interview: Tess Liautaud on the New Zealand roots scene and the songs from Blue Mind

September 6, 2023 2

I first came across Dan Raza supporting the Whybirds at a gig in Bedford in somewhere between 2009-2011. He was youthful and energetic but as equally important his songs were accomplished and distinctive melding a winsome […]
