No Depression tips a cap to two of our recent music titles, Jon Fox’s King of the Queen City and Stephen Calt’s Barrelhouse Words.

I’m tickled to note that on November 2 Stephen Calt published … a nearly 300-page book titled Barrelhouse Words: A Blues Dialect Dictionary. . . . I actually think it’d make a great nightstand book, or, for those of you who keep stupid joke books by the toilet, this one might upgrade your ambiance some.
