DISClaimer (9/16/09)
/by Robert K OermannThe Americana music convention begins today in Nashville, so what better time to run a column about the genre? The artists we’re talking about today are all up for awards at Thursday’s gala at the Ryman Auditorium. So we’re talking the cream of Americana, here. Earlier in the year, I raved about nominees such as […]
DISClaimer (9/11/09)

DISClaimer (8/28/09)
/by Robert K OermannThe stars are twinkling so brightly that I am temporarily blinded. That is to say, I simply can’t make up my mind. Should I choose the hearty male country vocal? What about our teen-queen sales champion? And then there’s the refreshingly rocking group performance. All three qualify for a Disc of the Day prize, yet […]

DISClaimer (8/21/09)
/by Robert K OermannWe live in an era of singles and tracks, but there are still a few out there who buck the trend.
