Joni perfects her jazz-folk blend with brilliant engaging songs and a sublime band to play them. I pity the fools that haven’t grasped this masterpiece yet. She built with her bare hands what autotuners, sampling, and ten co-writers and five producers still can’t do today.

A major writer of enduring consequence. I read last week that he was too sick to be on the road and too broke to be off it. Awful people indulge themselves in despicable rationalizations about life choices and lost highways, but it's murder most foul. I don't think I can take this business anymore.
I'm very sorry to report that the great alt-country singer-songwriter Todd Snider has died at 59 of undiagnosed walking pneumonia. I stick by what I wrote about him in 2012. www.robertchristgau.com/xg/bn/2012-0... Here's Rolling Stone's coverage. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
