I forgot that it was produced by Buddy Miller so I'll go with that theory.

CD Review - Kieran Kane, David Francey and Lucas Kane "Go Jane Go"
Go Jane Go, from the acoustic trio of Kieran Kane, David Francey and Lucas Kane, is a intimate acoustic disc I'd file somewhere Doc Watson, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. Recorded live in an Australian farmhouse, the stripped down disc combines toe-tapping, trouble and heartbreak on a dozen original tunes and includes a reworked cover of Little Walter's cheating blues "Tell Me Mama". On the sour heart,…

"Memories and Birds": Kenny Roby talks about the Return of Kenny Roby
Kenny Roby's Six String Drag released two excellent albums including High Hat on Steve Earle's E-Squared label. Ryan Adams namechecked Roby in Rolling Stone as “the best songwriter that not enough people have heard yet". But Six String Drag broke up in spite of the critical acclaim and then Kenny released several solo albums following the split before taking a break from…

Chip Robinson: A Backslider Sliding Back.
Chip Robinson's Backsliders were one of Raleigh, NC's big alt-country three (the other two being Kenny Roby's Six String Drag and of course Ryan Adam's Whiskeytown) during the 1995-1999 glory days. After releasing two fantastic but underappreciated albums (…

Jess Hoeffner said… - Wow, thanks so much, Hal! Much appreciated. The interview you did for us last time was really huge for us, so I'm so psyched you're willing to give our new album a listen. Yes, if you can shoot me your address I'll send you a CD or if you prefer, a flash drive with our mp3s and album artwork.
Thanks again for your support. It really means a lot.
All the best,
Jess

Thanks for the music tip! Love that song! :) (Even though I, too, have an apartment in the ghetto that my mamma bought me. Looking forward to paying the bills soon, though...)

Hi Hal,
No I can't say I've ever seen Herschel. Do you remember The Shake Russell Band from that era in Houston? He was extremely popular at that time. My producer, Jack Saunders, was then his bass player and they later became duo partners. I'll check around for Herschel...good to meet you.
