 * Comment The subject operates in a rather obscure field, but I added a couple of reviews from The Wire, which shows a level of international attention. I don't think they are enough to establish WP:MUSICBIO notability in themselves (as The Wire, to its credit, publishes a lot of wide-ranging reviews) but if someone turns up similar from another publication, that would take me to a "keep".

 * Keep. There are also several articles from the Houston Press, who describe him as a "legendary, cutting-edge and influential musician", and D magazine , which together with the coverage from Wire seems just enough to put him above the bar. --Michig (talk) 12:52, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
