Some reviews are especially gratifying. Such as this one.
T. Klein, Hill Country... (****): Now here's a comparison I don't get to make often enough: For his impeccable songcraft, rough-edged vocals, barbed-wire wit, and profound empathy most of all, Klein's latest recalls the very best of the great Darrell Scott. A masterful country-folk storyteller.

Every word of this is exponentially more hilarious than the word that precedes it.

"Providing a frame for the album are the opening and closing tracks 'Try' and 'Try Again,' in which Klein concludes, 'the least I can do is try.' True enough, but he also succeeded." @peterblackstocksd.bsky.social behind a very cheap paywall in @nodepression.bsky.social.

Fun fact: I got into a fight with then- Justice Brown on Twitter ten or so years ago about the stupidity of electing judges. A decade later, I don’t practice law anymore, he’s a federal judge, and I still think electing judges is stupid.

I've been at this for ten years. The requirement for Spotify to put one of these together is quantitative and not qualitative, but it still feels nice to me that this is a playlist that exists.

Album release days are always weird. But they're just part of this whole process that starts with me looking out the window at the trees and wondering what I'm supposed to write about and ends with me pressing send on a mailing list email and praying that some folks listen.

"It's ‘business as usual’ for Klein with his latest project. Impeccable songwriting, splendidly articulated and supported by suitably sympathetic players, combine in an instantly rewarding listen." I appreciate the kind words from Declan Culliton at Dublin's Lonesome Highway.

A little bit too often I'm reminded that a LOT of people in the folk music community, especially those of a certain generation, don't understand that the term "gypsy" is generally considered derogatory.

It’s out everywhere Friday so you can decide for yourself whether it’s folk music or country music. I have no idea but I very much appreciate the folks at @popmatters.com taking notice of this little album of mine.
Is this folk or is this country music?
Terry Klein doesn’t choose as much as he shows the connections between the two.
Suffice it to say, this is Texas music.
