REVIEW: Mariel Buckley's new album has been haunting me all week -- and I'm glad we can all experience I together. For @NoDepression, I explore the ways in which Buckley's harder edges make for an album that is comforting in spite of its raw vulnerability.

nodepression.org/album-review...

A woman with large, dark sunglasses and a black jacket shields her eyes against the sun, in spite of the glasses. She stands against a red brick wall and holds a bouquet of flowers. Blue and red lens flare obstructs most of the image.

If your Americana/roots music lover has been really good this year, John Cowan’s story-packed memoir can still get there by Christmas! (Amazon) If they have been bad, this book will fix them. #books #bskybooks #authors #writers #americanamusic #rootsmusic #ngr #bluegrass #nodepression #bélafleck

It may not be right for you, or it may not be the right time for you. Let rejection be a sign to move in another direction instead of falling into depression. You got this! 😉💯 #myquotes #mythoughts #justsaying #keepingitreal #nodepression #rejection #yougotthis #writer

TonART • Zitat - Alberto L. Ferro

Sitting at the piano without a plan is usually the beginning of something personal. • Am Klavier ohne Plan zu sitzen, ist in der Regel der Anfang von etwas Persönlichem.

Been listening to a lot of Toni Price since word came Friday that the great Austin singer died at age 63 after an aneurysm. Took a look thru the #NoDepression archives and found the review I wrote of her 1997 live album *Sol Power*:
