Old Ties (Rounder Heritage). Review by James Mann.
NORMAN BLAKE OLD TIES Rounder Heritage Born in 1938, Norman Blake has been playing music since he was 16, has played with everyone from Flatt and Scruggs to Doc Watson and Tony Rice, and provided the musical icing on the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack. He's about as good a guitarist as you'll ...

August 1998 :: Music K-M :: Bap Kennedy (James Mann)
... " The playing is wonderful, with the same cast of musicians that appeared on Earle's Train a Comin' album, substituting Jerry Douglas on dobro for Norman Blake. Kennedy's version of "Angel is the Devil" from that record is highlighted by Kennedy's strong voice. The record deals with affairs of the heart ...

February 1999 :: Music F-I :: Frog Holler (James Mann)
... , the best of which, "Another Shoeless Joe," makes the infamous slugger an analogy for love. This is a band that could play with Mariah one night, Norman Blake the next. At over 71 minutes, this is a lot of good music. Fans of Son Volt and Train a Comin'-era Steve Earle will find plenty to like here ...

Ralph Stanley (DMZ / Columbia). Review by Matt Cibula.
... is a T-Bone Burnett affair, so the Clinch Mountain Boys are nowhere to be heard -- Ralph backed by a bluegrass all-star band of sorts, anchored by Norman Blake (NOT the one from Teenage Fanclub, but the guitar wizard), and they have a clean professional sound to complement that ancient thing that comes ...

Howdy! (Thirsty Ear). Review by Matt Cibula.
... of Thirteen and Grand Prix and Songs From Northern Britain. But the truth is that the three Scottish geniuses who form the core of Teenage Fanclub (Norman Blake, Gerard Love, and Raymond McGinley) are three of the greatest songwriters in the world, with three of the most beautiful voices in pop music ...

... mainstays, a couple americana-rock acts and a southern rock band. It's a combination that works reasonably well, with more highs than lows. Norman and Nancy Blake with Tim O'Brien's "Black Jack David" and The Whites with Ricky Skaggs's "Will My Mother Know Me There" play it very close to the original ...
