Box Full of Letters from Issue #33
Shaver: More to the story Thank you for the fine piece on Billy Joe Shaver [ND #32, March-April '01]. He is a wonderful man and is most deserving of the cover of your magazine. Working with Billy Joe the last few years has been an incredible experience for me and I feel honored to have [...]

Hello Stranger from Issue #33
Is it comin’ around again? These “next-big-thing” waves tend to flow in cycles, you know.

Film at 11 - DVD review from Issue #33 May-June 2001
Sxsw Film Festival – Austin, Texas
After a brutal execution, the killer, Leonard Shelby, tosses his gun aside, fetches a camera and snaps a Polaroid of the crime scene.

No More Sad Refrains: The Life And Times Of Sandy Denny
