Will we review your recording?
If this hasn't scared you away, you can send your information and review CDs (don't send huge press kits... we don't read them!) to
As is the case with most music media, I get most of the recordings from the record labels or artists who produce them. Please understand that this is a very small operation (one editor and a bunch of volunteer contributors). I want to discourage you from sending a recording for review unless you are sure it is well within the scope of what we do.
You might want to send a link to a few sample tracks online for me to preview.
For the moment, I am restructing the ules a little to allow for the mess Covid has made of the post. My suggestion is to send me a link to listen, and if I think we might broadcast or review, I'll first ask for a download. If we decide to review, I may still need a CD, so understand that the old rule may be the same after all.

In 2001 I started CDRoots, a retail web site for selling a very select group of recordings not easily available in the US. Not everything reviewed in RootsWorld is in the catalog, not everything in the catalog is reviewed in RW. Not everything cdRoots sells gets a good review, either! Within normal human limitations, I try to keep these two things as separate as possible.
