More NONzine goodness: Reviews of Townes Van Zandt, Sleepy John Estes
Wouldn't you know it --
here's yet another quality piece of music writing from that hep cat over at NONzine. The guy keeps cranking out solid material, and he's showing no signs of stopping. In the latest issue, he discusses newly reissued material from singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt, as well as from blues legend Sleepy John Estes (
pictured). Enjoy.

Our Philosophy:
The music press, both mainstream and independent, focus the bulk of their attention on "new music" -- the latest albums and hot new artists. But what if "new music" meant something else? What if it referred to music that, regardless of when it was originally released -- this week or 50 years ago -- was just now being discovered by an individual, or perhaps by a generation? Any music could be "new." This Web publication charts our travels along the road of discovery as we become aware and gain a greater appreciation of some of the best music ever recorded from genres including rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, soul, funk and, perhaps most importantly of all, the blues.
