music was always the balm that soothed - i used to fall asleep with the radio pinned to my ear at night and generally jocko and his blend of funky R&B and blues on the radio - and for whatever reason music along with horses were the constant threads in my life no matter the setting or where i was -
grew up in nyc but not in the bustling cityscape of tall buildings and running people, but buccolic staten island, on horseback - was living on a commune in vermont when i was contacted to cook at woodstock - well that was sure a good cup of tea - lived in scotland and england as the 60s turned to the 70s - and then worked on a ranch in arizona which turned into working in the film industry - which turned into reviewing music when i called a company to check on a book i ordered and got into a discussion with the author about music in the early 90s - still love horses and music still do photos of both -

This L.A. based group plays what might be called roots music, or maybe its Rock & Roll, or maybe roots/rock, but whatever you want to call it, it is sweaty and low down dirty music that is going to get […]
This is far and away the most exciting disc to cross this desk in ages; there are eleven songs here, by nine artists and if you are good at figuring you will realize that 2 singers get to do 2 […]
Serendipity played a huge part in this disc and it seems to simply grow from there. Rick Estrin was introduced to this singer’s music by Walker’s manager, he loved and recognized the voice from his days as a youngster growing […]
