Cool Music Sites:
"Road Mangler Deluxe" ... Phil Kaufman has been "road manager" to some of the greats, including Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Frank Zappa, Joe Cocker, the "Stones", and many more. You gotta read this guy's story ... buy his book!
Collecting Dust ... Online record store specializin’ in "independent artists and music"… owned by musician/songwriter/producer Jan Pulsford who has worked with The Thompson Twins, Cyndi Lauper, & David Schnaufer.
Dizzy Rambler … Very interesting site focusing on music (past & present) originating in and around Central Florida --- includes bios on Gram Parsons, Carl Chambers, Lobo, Bobby Braddock, Jim Stafford, and other Central Florida artists, musicians and writers (includin’ me). Also some rare sound clips (includin’ some from a teen-aged Gram Parsons) along with some cool photos.
Sun Recording Studio … This is where Elvis got his start… ditto Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Roy Orbison and many more! Check it out online, but it’s a must see in Memphis, Tennessee!!!
Delta Blues Museum … Another must see, but this one’s in Mississippi… Clarksdale to be exact --- the home of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and other great bluesmen. If you check it out online , you’ll wanna go then go there for real.
Austin Americana … Great source for info on the Austin, TX alternative music scene --- includes club & venue listings, artists' calendars, and CD reviews.
No Depression … The alternative country music magazine.
Radio Stations … Some of my favorites around the country. (Some online, some not)
Ernest Tubb Record Store … Online or in Nashville. You can hear the original ET’s Waltz Across Texas while you shop. Or, at the Music Valley Drive location , you can check out his bus.
Groovetone Records … Way cool online source of alternative music.
