Description
“Although his stories are set in a world populated with famous names, his work is emphatically not about name-dropping. He has created appealing and delightful stories that offer us a slice of the folk music life, and a tasy sampling of the stew of human interaction on stage and off. He is a gifted wordsmith and a wonderful chronicler of the life he’s know he’s giving voice to a culture. I see parallels in his work and the work of the cowboy poet-both let us see inside a life-style that most of us will otherwise never get to experience. I don’t know anyone else who’s doing the work Bill Amatneek’s doing; telling funny, sweet, thoughtful, humble, generous stories about the very specific and rarefied culture of the fok musician. I think the folk music world has found its Home.” – Milbre Burch
