I haven't seen him live for years, but I would go based on he is one hell of a talented musician.
This brings to mind Jerry Reed, the great guitarist was passed away a couple of years ago. When he was hot, he was hot!
Ed,
I caught Stan tonight at the Mucky Duck here in Houston. Pietra Wexstun and Rick King rounded out the trio. Very enjoyable show that I probably would have missed had I not read your post. Thanks for that.
I'll post some video when time allows.
Daniel,
Mary Lee's Corvette performed "Blood On The Tracks" live - in order, in it's entirety at Arlene Grocery in NYC. I found it through Dylan's website (if he endorsed it I knew it had to be something special!).
I ordered two copies through www.…
Not being a political person, I find it hard to understand why anyone pays any attention to people like Glenn Beck.
I think giving the Republicans and Democrats a zero and a one is probably being generous.
I do follow the news though and the person…
Thinking today about:
Willie Nelson - Marie (Townes)
David Bromberg - Mr. Bojangles (Jerry Jeff)
Has anyone heard Mary Lee's Corvette doing a full album cover of Blood On The Tracks (Dylan)? It's brilliant.
These are great videos. Having Chuck and Al on the same bill was a great plan. Throw in David Pulkingham and it's more like genius.
I've seen and heard many in the music community express their feelings about losing Stephen Bruton, but it is obvious…
Brian Setzer - I was listening to "The Knife Feels Like Justice" today and thought he needed to be added to this thread.
I don't think anyone would be disappointed with Todd Snider or Jim Lauderdale.
Lucinda has kept her lyrics, set list, notes, whatever on a stand as long as I can remember. One year at the first or second Austin City Limits Festival, she went into an expletive filled tirade when she forgot the lyrics to a song. Guess that lyric…
Some in this community got to see one of the best yesterday... David Pulkingham of Alejandro Escovedo's band. He's monster on electric and acoustic.
I was wondering the same thing!
A few more outstanding live albums came to mind....
"Townes Van Zandt - Live at The Old Quarter": 2 disc set recorded in 1973 in downtown Houston.
"Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet - Room of Songs": 2 disc set recorded at The Cactus Cafe in Austi…
We were lucky here in Houston to get to see Lucinda back when she played the small clubs simply as "Lucinda" in the early days.
I think she has carved out a very nice career for herself. I'll be anxious to hear the new stuff!
Stan is playing a small club here in Houston in a couple of weeks. I'm inclined to go check him out after reading this.
Thanks Holly. That was an enjoyable read. I look forward to more of your writing!

Telluride Siblings
It has occurred to me that there are a number of notable siblings appearing at this years Telluride Bluegrass Festival -
Alison Krauss (AKUS) & Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett)
Ronnie McCoury & Rob McCoury (Del McCoury Band)
Martie Maguire & Emily Robison (Court Yard Hounds)
Tim Hanseroth & Phil Hanseroth (Brandi Carlile)
Does anyone know of any others? (I don't think the Punch Brothers qualify)

Doug And Telisha Williams said… - Hey Chris- We were actually scheduled to play Anderson Fair on the 13th, but scheduling somehow got messed up. We love that place, and we really look forward to playing there next time we're in Texas. House concerts are a lot of fun, though! Come on out to the one on the 15th! There's an email address on the website. We'd love to have you.
by the way- which satellite station did you hear us on?
