artists whose editorial coverage may have been dropped
When editors don't review two consecutive albums, I get concerned that Allmusic is dropping artist coverage. This request is to review artists who shouldn't be ignored.
Bonny Light Horseman is releasing a DOUBLE-album, and their prior one has been rated by 44 users. Only their debut has been reviewed though, and I always advocate against dropping coverage of a new artist after just one review.
(A monumental box set has been updated with an additional disc, but Allmusic didn't catch its new release. Despite the banjo's African origin, bluegrass is barely heard on that additional disc because it's historically rare for black artists to record bluegrass.)
Swamp Dogg, who didn't have money to buy auto-tune in 2022, has recorded a blackgrass album for his friend's label. It's filled with guests from country, bluegrass, folk and rock genres, whose star power will draw their own fans to blackgrass. (This ain't a bluegrass album; this is an O.G. Swamp Dogg album!)
Unfortunately, musically adventurous artists have a smaller loyal fan base who can keep up with the artist. Their smaller fan base have resulted in only indie labels being willing to market albums that can't be conveniently categorized. So Allmusic should give give greater latitude to continuing coverage for such adventurous artists, especially an octogenerian whose inexhaustible creativity should be treasured.
P.S. to this request, I'm expecting to add the upcoming second collaboration by two stalwarts. (Speaking of collaborations, I didn't push for reviewing neither of Ray Wylie Hubbard's Co-Starring album series. Editors have dropped coverage on Carla Olson, but I'm grateful that her career's second act did receive coverage except her recent collaborations that weren't part of a series.)
