Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. is usually a contributor to Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange and in addition writes book evaluations for The Bloomsbury Review, Indie Publisher, and Foreword Publication. Ronnie lives along with his wife and five pet cats (Xena, Julian, Green Eye, Grey, and Small Dark) in Christiansburg, VA. He’s the Americana Music Movie director at WUVT at Virginia Technology, a position which allows him to hear various fresh acoustic, bluegrass, nation, and folk music. He also hosts a every week Americana radio display which allows him to expose underplayed performers like Butch Hancock and David Grier. Despite his normally sound musical flavor, he continues to take pleasure from hearing Jimmy Buffett CDs and Thankful Deceased bootlegs. Desert Isle List 1. Tony Grain, Acoustics 2.
