If someone appraised your yearbook, what do you think it’s worth would be? If you were Hank Thompson, the answer would be $200. Country music buffs with deep pockets should be aware of the country music estate sale that Christie’s, New York’s popular auctioning company, is spear-heading on December 3.

Death is not a respecter of person, musician or not. However, it does seem that the most talented artists are always taken in their prime. They either leave this world under extreme circumstances that are beyond their control, or by their own volition. Johnny Horton’s death falls under the category of the aforementioned. Horton, like [...]
Johnny Cash’s life cannot be summed up with mere words. It takes an illustrator to depict the Man in Black’s cavalier lifestyle in vivid detail. What are these symbols that go from left to right. I need pictures for me to understand this gobbledegook. Abrams ComicArts will be releasing Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness, [...]
How much care goes into sculpting the perfect novelty song? I guess you just got to have a knack for it. Throughout country music’s time-line, the novelty song has played an integral part in its evolution(or devolution?).
