I found NIC JONES (and BRIGHT PHOEBUS by Mike and Lal Waterson) at Down Home Music in El Cerrito (http://downhomemusic.com), and BALLADS AND SONGS in Galway, Ireland. They were absurdly expensive; I hope some of the cash made it to the principals.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking, perhaps anyway, that she peaked early with "Coming Up Close" and has latterday acquired a much stronger reputation for whining than for releasing decent music. More for Richard Youngs, then, Andy Arts, Briefly Reporter Wont [sic] Testify in R. Kelly Trial Compiled by FELICIA R. LEE Published: June 5, 2008 A writer for The Chicago Sun-Times refused to answer questions on Wednesday at R. Kelly's child pornography trial, The Associated Press reported. In his refusal, the writer, Jim DeRogatis, cited an Illinois law that governs reporters' rights, as well as the First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. Mr. DeRogatis read a statement more than a dozen times in response to questions, including whether he had once made a copy of a sex tape that is at the center of the trial. Defense lawyers have said that copying the tape  which is said to show Mr. Kelly having sex with a minor  would have been a crime. Mr. Kelly has said that he was not the man in the tape. After Mr. DeRogatis's 10 minutes on the stand, Judge Vincent Gaughan of Cook County Criminal Court said reporters' privileges did not apply. But the judge ruled that Mr. De Rogatis did not have to testify, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Ah no, I refer to Marzette's second album, featuring Ornette's "Lonely Woman," issued on Savoy. Savoy being, in its time at least, a much bigger operation than ESP, is ironic, yes? > Scott M put me on to a band that's taken me a bit of time to adjust to but > I'm getting really into their recent Matador disc.

She's made it clear in interviews that she rarely writes about herself, almost always building songs from stories she hears from friends, so I suppose lucky for Michael.
