Lucinda Williams roars back – thank goodness; Del McCoury Band rocks the house; Charlie Pickett re-issue continues to rock the nation and our world right here!
Maybe it’s time for Rock & Roll to save the world, again. For now at least I feel better when I hear it played loud, locked down tight and the band is passionate. That’s why it’s a great week thanks to re-issues from The Clash, Charlie Pickett And, new stuff from The Pretenders (oh that voice of Chrissie Hynde!) and don’t overlook Mr. Everything Is Broken himself, Bob Dylan. How prophetic was that in 1989? We don’t need CNN to tell us which way the wind blows. But Rock & Roll ain’t broken and Lucinda Williams “Little Honey” gonna show us why. (Man that Costello duet track “Jail House Tears” is tha joint!).
Del McCoury Band absolutely rocked the house here in the good ole Bluegrass way yesterday to a SRO cheering crowd who hung out and snapped up copies of their new CD Moneyland — man have you heard the guest shots on that one with Emmylou & Rodney Crowell singing Hags’s “Mama’s Hungry Eyes” or Merle Haggard himself guesting on “If We Make It Through December”? — chilling.
More than anything just come see us. We ARE on Main Street America in downtown Greenville South Carolina kicking it old school style in these troubled time. Let’s just keep it simple, OK?
Ask me about the Billion Dollar bill I found an old Alice Cooper LP…
