Context paragraphs:
The Anglo-Welsh Review: "The Anglo-Welsh Review" was a literary and cultural magazine published in Wales between 1949 and 1988.  Its original title was ″Dock Leaves″, a reference to the fact that it was published in Pembroke Dock, the town in which its founding editor Raymond Garlick lived and taught in the local school.  He published an account of the early years of the magazine in 1971.  The name was changed in 1957 to reflect the editor’s work in defining a tradition of writing known as ‘Anglo-Welsh Literature’, prefigured in an editorial to the magazine in 1952 expressing the hope that “someone will persuade a publishing house to put forth a badly needed anthology of Anglo-Welsh poetry”.  Garlick, together with fellow founder of the magazine Roland Mathias, eventually published such an anthology.  The name change also placed the magazine in a tradition with ″The Welsh Review″ (1939-1948).  Roland Mathias took over the editorship in 1960 by which time, financially supported by the Welsh Arts Council, it had become more substantial both in terms of the number of pages and the breadth of its coverage of Welsh cultural life.  The magazine was subsequently edited by Gillian Clarke who joined Roland Mathias as Reviews Editor in 1973 and became its editor in 1976.  Greg Hill joined her as Reviews Editor in 1980 and himself became editor in 1985.

Country Music (magazine): Country Music was a bi-monthly magazine on country music founded in New York City in 1972 by John Killion, Russell D. Barnard and Spencer Oettinger.  It was known for taking an approach to music journalism closer in tone to Rolling Stone with an insistence on high-caliber writing and knowledgability, unlike earlier country fan publications that opted to uncritically publicize artists and their work.  The magazine became known for informed, sometimes critical articles and reviews and also for its advocacy for the early 1970s "Outlaw" movement and its coverage of traditional country artists of the past.  In 1978 the three co-founders, known as KBO Publishers, sold the magazine to Candlelite Music, who published it as a bimonthy until 1981 with co-founder Russell Barnard as editor.  Candlelite sold to another entity, who published only briefly before it went bankrupt.  In 1983, Barnard re-acquired the "Country Music " name, created Silver Eagle Publishers and resumed publication from Westport, Connecticut as a high-quality bimonthly.  Barnard sold the publication to Sussex Publications in 1999, who moved offices to Nashville.
