Rocky 52 and the Hound are two of the first blogs that I first frequented when I was just starting to check out music blogs (roughly fifteen years ago). Both have been regular haunts over the years, Rocky 52 for his insane breadth of country and western, rockabilly, hillbilly, instrumental bands and early rockers, and the Hound for his detailed bios of key figures, many second and third tier of familiarity. His music of choice is early rock 'n' roll, blues, r&b, and so on. More city, less hick.
These two sites complement each other well. Although the Hound's music links have been disabled for years, there is a shitload of well written and informed profiles. When the two sites intersect it's like a trip to the main library. Today, for instance, I saw a few Tarheel Slim songs at Rocky 52 (that's Slim pictured above) and the most detailed bio of Tarheel Slim I could find was at the Hound's site. Yee haw.
Tarheel Slim - Number 9 Train mp3 at Rocky 52
