- Contrary to whatever this article implies, Muddy Water's corpse will NOT be playing in Fairfield Conneticut; but some other notable Water's sidemen will be in attendance to celebrate the Hoochie Coochie man's music - Pinetop Perkins and Willie 'Big Eyes' Foster are the big names on this bill.
- New Jersey's boogie blues hell-raiser himself: Darren Deicide has spent the last three years touring non-stop; bringing his own brand of hell-fire and brimstone Roots to the masses. He's decided to put some muscle behind the hustle and start his own Roots based zine.
- If you've never heard Honne Wells, than you should. This man is a force to be reckoned with - His voice is a raspy I-just-gargled-drano howl, his guitar a sliding delta dawn and his music: pure voodoo channeling. Word is he and Greg Jamie [of O'Death] brought the fire at Tonic.
- Well, since we're on the subject of O'death, then it only stands to reason that we mention [although this is somewhat old news] that they just signed to Brooklyn's Ernest Jennings Record Company. Not only has this band swimming in good press as of late, word around the campfire is they tore it up it and down at SXSW this year turning ears, heads and more. As far as this cat is concerned they deserve it all and more.

- Ah, yet another example of economics killing art - the money machine rolls on and tramples bluegrass in the process! Bill Monroe could probably kick all their asses in a rumble!
