FAQ

What kind of music is acceptable for review here?
Well, folk and acoustic music of course. What is folk and acoustic music? Beats me. But I know it when I hear it. It certainly includes things like traditional mountain music, singer/songwriters, world folk, string bands, and other forms more or less easily recognized as folk. Bluegrass? Sure, it is acoustic music. The modern solo guitar? Ya. But also to be included are those new groups which meld strange and wonderful instruments together into new forms, still remaining true to an acoustic base. In short, I (paul, the head plum at wildplum) review the reviews. If I think it fits, it'll get posted.

Are reviews posted immediately?
Reviews are not posted immediately. Instead, they are emailed to me. I review each review for appropriateness (both from a content standpoint and from a view to keeping off the site material which is derogatory or otherwise in poor taste). Once I've reviewed the review, it gets posted. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

The copyright to a review remains with the reviewer. Reviews posted on this site will not be used for any other purpose without the written permission of the reviewer.
