VIC CHESNUTT: On Record

"I ain't got time for the niceties." So sang Vic Chesnutt in 1996. The Athens-based singer/songwriter is a legend in his time-his songs have been covered by everyone from R.E.M. to Madonna. His latest record, Dark Developments, is a collaboration with his neighbors, Elf Power.

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER: The Proof is On the Pizza Boxes or Nothing is Written in Stone

There in a Nashville coffee shop, Buddy Miller winced. He does that sometimes, usually just after receiving a compliment. Miller takes a compliment like a wheezy barroom drunkard takes a punch to the sternum. He's hard on himself, though he treats the rest of us with ease and gentility. He's a nice man. And he has become one of the more celebrated roots music figures of our times.

RAUL MALO: Carry On

Raul Malo has been swimming against the currents of Nashville ever since he arrived in town a decade-and-a-half ago with his Latin-tinged country-rock band, the Mavericks. And his latest solo album, Lucky One, drives that point home anew.

BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY: Now He Sees a Darkness (Again)

As an artist with a deep catalog of terrifying and troubled songs-a musty canon soaked with death, lust, and desperation that seemed to cling to his quavering vocals like a consumptive cough-Bonnie ‘Prince' Billy seemed like an unlikely candidate to take a wistful turn.

American Songwriter is my favorite magazine and now American Songspace is my favorite site. It provides something that Myspace just doesn't and that is the ability to connect with other people in the business.

I have already connected with some wonderfully encouraging people. Thank you so much for this site. It is truly spectacular.

American Songwriter Mag:
Thank you for the site and networking opportunity. I buy American Songwriter Magazine at Borders my favorite coffee shop/bookstore all the time. I love to sit in there and get pumped up on caffeine with my mag in my lap and dream about gracing one of the pages along side of one of my favorite artists. Sometimes I get lost and forget that I have hard work to do to get closer to these dreams; both are things I'm working on.
Again, thank you.
David Kirkland.
