From Americana Roots by Pigeon O'Brien
Before I knew Brett Dillon, I only knew OF Brett Dillon. I heard often about this fixture of Dallas radio, his enthusiasm about this particular artist or that particular album, about his pitching in on someone's project or guiding someone else through career changes. And I never, ever heard anything but glowing, glowing words used about Brett. No catty detractions about his taste or his show, or his pets or grudges ever.

I often tell people that radio promotion is one of my favorite parts of my job, and it's true: Radio people are a great part of any day. They're utterly tied up in the business of finding and playing good music, and are possessed of encyclopedic memories, fun, interesting quirks and GREAT phone voices. So when...
Very Good
Good documentary on a great DJ and great person. This is a picture of a man who after all these years, still loves the music and loves what he does.
