More New Guy Clark

Looks like Guy is working with Don Was, just like Todd Snider did. That's Jamie Hartford on guitar, John Hartford's son.



......and did you notice I figured out how to imbed youtube video's?!?

Its a Long Way to the Top




If you want to Rock and Roll.

Thats some sound advice from AC/DC channeled through Lucinda Williams. I suspect they both understand what they're singing about. Lu ended her show at the Vogue last week with this Back in Black classic. The band Buick 6 were the best bar band in the world on this night and both they and Lucinda were having some fun. The sold out crowd made sure they knew it (even on a Tuesday night). I have read that Lucinda has been rejuvenized by Buick 6 and by the look of it she has. It's also apparent on her latest record Little Honey. The guy that replaced Doug Pettibone (above) on lead guitar was out of sight. One of the best shows ever.

Current Playlist:
Todd Snider - The Excitement Plan
Dave Alvin & the Guilty Women
Man of Somebody's Dreams - Tribute to Chris Gaffney
Lucinda Williams - Little Honey
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Dr. John - In the Right Time (1973 vinyl....groovy. Thanks to Danko for recommendation)
Cosmos - Robert Pollard & Richard Davies (oddly beautiful)
