BBC - Folk & Country Review - Robin Williamson, Skirting The River Road (#)
„So maybe it's no surprise that for his second album for ECM, ISB co-founder Robin Williamson has chosen to set poetry by William Blake, Walt Whitman and Henry Vaughan to music. Blake's long been an alternative folk hero for all sorts of reasons and has attracted settings from musicians as diverse as Mike Westbrook , Jah Wobble and, er, E.L.P. Both Vaughan (a contemporary of Milton) and American poet Whitman share many of Blake's concerns; religious faith shot through with self doubt, fascination with the extremes of the human condition and a love of nature. Williamson's own lyrics sit well in this company, particularly on "The Map With No North", a surreal essay on 'the spaces between words'.“

„As I approach Ruby’s, the sun begins to edge over the horizon of the shop’s roof. I enter under magnetic poetry affixed to the front door that reads, “Mother I believe you were a whisper of blue and yellow light.” The interior of Ruby’s is a single room split by a counter. Customer seating consists of a mere seven stools lined along a large window and against the counter. Already, Ruby’s owner Shirley Choy is hard at work, her dexterous hands busily grinding beans and boiling water for the day’s coffee.“

Review of Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast
„The coffee industry produced its own backlash when a new generation ignored cost for other values, like social justice, ecology and -- of all things -- taste. Earlier heroes like William Black, who founded his own brand, Chock Full o' Nuts, in New York in the 1950's, and Alfred Peet, who dark-roasted his own quality beans at Peet's Coffee and Tea in Berkeley, Calif., in the 60's, were followed by the trio of college boys in Seattle in the 70's who started Starbucks. True to market patterns, after the founders sold the company in the 80's to their former marketer, the specialty brand went national and then international, Starbucking all of America and now moving into Japan. “
