I really enjoyed No Direction Home even though I’m inclined to agree with Steven Hart’s assessment that it sheds little light on the man himself.

I’m a little hesitant to post this because it will disappear shortly into The New York Time’s paid content section. But while it lasts you can read a great profile of Hank Williams written by Garrison Keilor

This post on Making Light has been making the rounds and for good reason – it’s hysterical.

Borealis artists Le Vent du Nord have been nominated for an ADISQ, award in the Traditional Album of The Year category…

Blues musician Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown died September 10th.

The folk music email lists have been full of musical benefits and efforts to raise money for the victims of hurricane Katrina. Here are a couple of music related projects on the web. I’m sure there are many more.

Many artists who sell their CD’s through CD Baby are donating their entire wholesale price to to Katrina Relief. CD Baby is supporting the effort and sending the money directly to the Red Cross. There’s a gallery of titles that are part of the program here. There are hundreds of not thousands of titles, depending on how much overlap there is in CD Baby’s categorization system but by any measure there are a lot of CD’s.

Putumayo is donating all proceeds of sales of it’s New Orleans and Mississippi Blues CD’s to Katrina relief through the end of the year.

Thanks to Patti Witten who posted the CD Baby info on the folkvenu list. The Putumayo link is from gadling.
