Cool links Dirty Linen, Driftwood, Music Magazine 3 Comments
Driftwood has been spotted floating toward shore…Driftwood Music Magazine has been launched! Many former Dirty Linen writers have teamed up with writers who contributed to Paste, Music Monthly, and other fine publications to bring you the best in folk, roots, world, and rock music commentary.
Sue and I wholeheartedly support this effort and wish Driftwood much success.

Cool links RootsWorld, Tab Benoit, Voice of the Wetlands Leave a comment
RootsWorld has a great article on Louisiana musician Tab Benoit. This is particularly timely, considering Benoit’s campaign to preserve the rapidly diminishing wetlands (Voice of the Wetlands) and the current oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
