Jahfin,
THANKS for the info. I have missed the music edition for the past few years, I need to find one.
Have you ever picked up any of the "Live at the World Cafe" compilations? They are on par with the Oxford American.

Oxford American went through some hard times recently so no issues were published for a while but they're back on their feet now.
I'm aware of Live At the World Cafe but I've never picked up any of their comps, thanks for the head's up. I think these sort of collections are a great way to sample new artists and find rare performances of songs.
What makes the Wold Cafes so special is that every day David Dye interviews an artist who plays some songs along the way. The CDs are the best of the songs played. The performers are all over the map Joan Baez and Lyle Lovette to folks you will never hear from again.
Along the same lines is the "Live from E-Town" series. I visited my daughter in Boluder last month and for $20 saw Buddy Guy play and be interviewed. Great show.
Both shows are available on radio, syndicated, so you may not be able to pick it up over the air. Wolrd Cafe is streamed from XPN.org

Thanks for the interview, I'd never read that. I did hear a good portion of the Jerry Jeff concert on Radio Margaritaville back when it first aired though. That's definitely something I'd love to see Buffett release in some official capacity someday.
