Re: the Allison Moorer Oscar nomination, B. Silvers asks:
and the record didn't do all that well in the P2 best of '98 poll, did it?

Alabama Song came in a very respectable(?) 36th, with, if I read this right,
a total of 11 votes. At least one voter, as I recall, tagged Soft Place To
Fall as song of the year.
And it still tears me, er, him, up every time.

And says:
Not that that's justification...

Well, no . . . especially as all 11 who voted for it  are persons of
impeccable taste g.

Gwil and his band, with Bill Dwyer on guitar,  sure put on a smokin' set
last night at the Billy Block Roots Revival at the Exit-In in
Nashvilleplayed a couple of hard-edged new ones.  Good show, but the
highlight had to be Linda Gail Lewis' earlier set.Alison Moorer was
also in the crowd, but didn't get up to sing

 While I've probably got a tape somewhere of some of Gwil's stuff, but as
 far as released stuff goes it's pretty slim pickings. He's got a track
 each on Rig Rock Truckstop, Rig Rock Jukebox and one on the Uprooted
 compliation that came out last year. He's written a great many of the
 songs that Toni Price has recorded, as well.

He also had a cool twang-rock tune on Bloodshot's underground Nashville
compilation.--don

 Cool. Which reminds me of a question I'd been meaning to ask here for
 awhile. From the limited exposure I've had to Gwil Owen's songs, (on a
 Bloodshot comp and Toni Price's last record) I've been awfully
 impressed. Does he have any releases available of his own music and
 should I be seking them out?  

Hey, that's great news. God knows she deserves it. May this jump start her own
career. As far as I'm concerned, she should be the new queen of Nashville (and
all *good* that being associated with that town once implied), and not just
because she's a pretty redhead.
