I also found a couple of old Entertainment Weekly reviews. You never know what might show up online.

GUITAR WORLD:
•Massive oral history of the Allman Brothers. March 2009 GW cover story. This huge project really helped me adjust to life back in the USA.
Derek Trucks feature from 2009. First thing I did after returning from China. It felt great to get back in the saddle.
On the road with Joe Bonamassa, from Feb. 2010 GW. This one was a lot of fun.

Lynyrd Skynyrd cover story, Jan. 2010 GW

First person Guitar World story about Woodie Alan.

Dennis Johnson, whom I interviewed not long before his far-too-early death.
God Shammgod, whom I caught up with in China. THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES.
•One of my early big gets was Mr. Clutch, Jerry West, who sort of shocked me by calling his career a failure because he only won one ring.
•One of the more intriguing and controversial – and intriguing – guys in NBA history, Bill Walton.
•”Big Game” James Worthy.
