Short & Sweet Letter to Editor sums up L Kent Wolgamott

More time for other projects

While I am sorry to hear that L. Kent Wolgamott will no longer be able to see films in advance of their release, I am excited by the prospect of him devoting more time and energy to articles about musicians he knows, the genius of Matthew Sweet, and glowing reviews of CDs no one will buy.

Short & Sweet Letter to Editor sums up L Kent Wolgamott

The Village Voice called him "a poet of the people." Stephen King, writing in Entertainment Weekly, pronounced him "the truest, fiercest songwriter of his generation audio hosting." His previous LIVE release, Live in Aught-Three, turned the music world on its ear, gaining more praise and popularity than other studio efforts! The Austin Chronicle proclaimed, "This is no-frills, freak-flag rock. Turn it up!" PopMatters called it "a snapshot of where McMurtry is now, [marking him] as a legitimate inheritor of the Texas songwriting tradition video hosting."

Now, on October 13, 2009, Lightning Rod Records will release Live in Europe, a document of McMurtry's first European tour, on which, along with long-time band members Ronnie Johnson blog hosting, Daren Hess, and Tim Holt, he was joined by keyboardist Ian McLagan and fellow Texas songwriting legend Jon Dee Graham. The set will be available as a CD with a bonus DVD, or as a deluxe vinyl LP package with a CD and DVD insert.
