 Cold Hard Facts
 R.I.P Porter Wagoner: 8/12/1927- 10/28/2007

culled from the LA Times

...
He sang with an unadorned, everyman voice, not the booming bass-baritone of a Johnny Cash, the jazz- inflected acrobatics of Willie Nelson or the bluegrass- steeped purity of a Vince Gill.
"I don't try to show off a so-called beautiful voice, because I don't feel my voice is beautiful," Wagoner once said. "I believe there is a different kind of beauty, the beauty of being honest, of being yourself, of singing like you feel it."

 FREE IN-STORE PERFORMANCES
 Now & Later

who's more famous to the million billion? Tampa's ZILLIONAIRE will rock us (again) with their "heavy mellow sounds" on this coming Sunday, November 4th at 3:00, to celebrate the release of their new CD. This will be the official all ages cd release party!

Legendary Nashville musician DAVID OLNEY has promised to stop by here on Wednesday, November 14th, on his way to a party gig that he's playing nearby! David's one of those guys you may have heard of, via more popular musicians (Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle have covered his songs, among others). The Houston Press described him well when they wrote, "...Olney stands out like a jalapeño in a bowl of vanilla pudding in Nashville, where he lives, and throughout an 18-album career has stubbornly gone his own way, making brilliant, unheralded albums as artists from Linda Ronstadt to bluegrass king Del McCoury record his songs." We're lucky to be in his company and need you to help us make him feel welcome!
Advance reservations are required for that evening's HOUSE CONCERT (which only holds ~ 30 people!)- Contact: 813-837-6572 or gshello@tampabay.rr.com.

 OCTOBER LISTENING POST FEATURES
 Say Goodbye To Hollywood

Iron and Wine Iron and Wine
The Shepherd's Dog
"The best Iron & Wine record to date." - Harp

Mary Gauthier
Between Daylight & Dark
In the case of Mary Gauthier, four words are worth a thousand pictures. Between Daylight and Dark, her new album, finds her aiming her compass at the sky and searching for home. It is from longing for home that this group of songs has emerged, and they fill Gauthier's new album with both hope and anguish and with faith as well as fear. This follow up to her Lost Highway debut (Mercy Now) is produced by Joe Henry and features Van Dyke Parks, Greg Leisz and an A- list backing band.

Thurston Moore
Trees Outside the Academy
"Man does not live by feedback alone, even Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. The striking thing about the guitarist's first solo album since 1995's Psychic Hearts -- solo, as in, devoted to songs instead of prolonged amp death -- is not that he has shed the shredding for acoustic Om folk. It is the melodic fiber in his writing and drone-tenor singing. Where there is voltage, it is evocative, not assaulting. Where there is none, his picking and their vocal blend is warm and full. There is high-speed dirt and driving psychedelia, but the most avant-garde quality of this record is its gentle assertion of detail -- the way you can hear each leaf blowing on every tree." - David Fricke (Rolling Stone)

Various Artists
Goin Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino
Icons from the world of rock, blues, reggae and country music have joined together to salute the legendary "Fat Man" on this double CD set, Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino. This stellar tribute to one of the cornerstones of rock n' roll music will help raise desperately needed funds, earmarked for instruments to be donated to New Orleans' public school children as well as the development of a community center in the ravaged lower 9th Ward, amongst other community related programs, through the Tipitina's Foundation.
