Finding My Mojo

Music sampler disc that came with the June issue of Mojo Magazine.

One Bob Dylan recording. One Dylan cover. Mostly Americana offerings from musicians who have some sort of association with or comparison to Dylan.

Like a great radio station with no commercials.

Highlight for me, 'New Partner' by Will Oldham.

Additional Highlight: 'You'll Miss It When It's Gone' by The Skiffle Players.

Denying The Vanishing Physical Music Magazine Blues

There are not many physical publications still standing in the music magazine world but thankfully Relix is still there. Originally dealing mostly with all things related to the Grateful Dead, it's branched out into the Jambands scene then into the Bluegrass, Newgrass, Americana, Singer/Songwriter and other genres. Full of interesting columns, feature articles and reviews. There's also a free disc of new music included with each issue, primarily of up and coming musicians and groups, but also a few established names. Well worth searching out in the magazine racks of book stores.

It's published bi-monthly with a few exceptions through the year where it comes out monthly. It's also available in a online digital format.

The sampler disc has led to my personal discovery of several new acts in the past eight years ..... Greensky Bluegrass, Cary Brothers, Delta Moon, Colin Lake & Wellbottom, P.J. Pacifico, Great Lake Swimmers and others.
