Besides a great first name g, the interesting fact here is that Mr. Williams is a black singer who has been living on skid row for years. If I remember Mr. Robshot Blood correctly, he had some regional hits in the 60s (being based out of Detroit), but after that everything went downhill. It wasn't until recently the guy straighten himself up and started performing again. If you like funky grooves mixed in with country and soul, this release is definitely worth checking out. Great album. Later...

The Cartwrights (was: Re: Upcoming Dallas shows)
Hi all, Well, I caught the Cartwrights last Saturday night and they simply tore up the Gypsy Tea Room. This was actually the second time I've seen the Cartwrights (after the break up). They put on a (reunion) show about a year and a half ago that was nothing to write home about. But this time around, it was a totally different story. Cowboys and Indians had just kicked off their set as I entered the club. It's a shame Eric (singer/songwriter, guitar) Co. don't receive more recognition than they do. They are simply one of the best western swing bands in the nation. Saturday's show was one of the best C I performances I ever seen (and I've seen quite of few of them over the years). Right after their encore, I started feeling sorry for the Cartwrights because the last show I saw (mentioned above) could not, by any means, live up to what Cowboys and Indians had just done. After the break, the Cartwrights came on stage and jumped straight into "Crazy Broken Heart" written and sung by Donny Ray Ford. The sound was terrible and the band struggled to find the beat. Unfortunately, my sorry feelings started to become a reality. Just after three songs, the crowd started to leave. As matter of fact, I was close to leave myself. But I went over to the bar for another beer and the fourth song "Walking On My Grave" (one of my favorites) came on. After a minute or so into the song, the sound problems were almost eliminated and things were coming together. From that song on, nothing could go wrong. The band simply tore up the place with great, tight, honky tonk music straight from their hearts. I dare to claim that Alan Wooley is one of the best guitar player around. He certainly showed off his very best Telecaster skills throughout this show. Although, I personally don't like Mr. Kooda's voice too much, his interpretation of "Little Red Corvette" was killer. It's such a groovy song, and with Kim Herriage's steel guitar, this song was one of my highlights during the show. I'm certainly glad I opted to stay a little bit longer that night. Crossing my fingers and hoping that the band will reunite on a permanent basis. The alt. country world really needs performers like Alan Wooley and Danny Ray Ford. Enuff said. Later...

Re: Richard Buckner/Sebadoh in Dallas last night
Dancer reflects Andre, I totally agree with you about Deep Ellum Live. What a horrible place. I really hope I never have to go back there again. The staff were total assholes, the crowd sucked, the sound system kept falling apart. Nothing about that place deserved a show as cool as it got last night. Anyway, that's it. Thanks for all the recommendations... Yeah, this venue is the worse thing Dallas has to offer when it comes to outlets. Besides the rude staff and often annoying crowds, the place has no taste in beer either. Last time I went (about five years ago for Steve Earle - which was a great show with NO sound problems), I had the option between Coors Light and Bud Light. The bartender claimed that most of the people prefer light beer at Deep Ellum Live. What a bunch of @#%$$%@# bull shit. After this experience, I pledged that I will never set my feet inside that place again. Thank god, Steve and Del are playing at Lakewood Theatre this coming Friday, which is a very nice venue and only a three minute walk from my house. Can't wait! Later...

Re: Upcoming Dallas shows
Slobberbone is always fun, you can't go wrong on this one if you like their stuff. However, Sebadoh and Buckner are booked to Deep Ellum Live which is notorious for sound problems. God, I hate that venue. I wouldn't risk it. Go to Denton! Anyhow, if you're in Dallas this Saturday and you're broke (as I'm after three great days in Austin and SXSW), Gypsy Tea Room is hosting its first anniversary party with free admission. Cowboys and Indians and THE CARTWRIGHTS (yeah!!!) are performing. Should be a lot of fun. Ed Burleson and James Hand are playing at Sons of Hermann Hall tonight. It was great meeting all of you during SXSW. I had a blast. A big applause to Cherilyn, Bloodshot Records, and No Depression/MoM for their great parties. Sorry I missed the P2 parties at Austin Motel, but I had to pace myself this time around due to a nasty accounting test I had to take last Monday. And while I'm de-lurking for a change, has anybody heard a band called Eleven Hundred Springs? These guys are my new local alt. country faves. Their first album titled "Welcome to ... Eleven Hundred Springs" (label: 13 Recordings) released a couple of weeks ago is very interesting. Although a bunch of the songs are CLEARLY inspired by the masters such as Hank, Merle, George, and Bob (Wills), Mike Hillyer (vocal, guitar and songwriter) has penned some great lyrics, and his voice really works for this kind of stuff. I've seen them live only a couple times, but I was really impressed when they opened for The Derailers two weekends ago at Gypsy Tea Room. 1100 Hundred Springs performs every Wednesday at Muddy Waters (always free admission) on Lower Greenville in Dallas.

Re: neil's steel
Following on from the recent steel guitar thread, does anyone know who provides the heartbreaking steel on Neil Young's "Tired Eyes" from the "Tonight's the Night" album? Just listening to the Decade retrospective right now Ndubb: Ben Keith. Is now a good time to mention that Tonight's the Night just might be the greatest rock album ever? At least in my screwy head it is. Or at least close to it. Tonight's the Night *IS* the greatest rock album ever in this screwy head. Enuff said Later...

Re: James Hand (was Re: Chuck E. Weiss other cool new shit)
Howdy, James Hand's "Shadow Where The Magic Was" was among my top five releases of last year. As Don implied, the production could have been better, but the songwriting and the "feeling" on this album is just killer. Hank meets Lefty. Although Mr. Hand is based out West, Texas (between Austin and Dallas) this release isn't easy to come by. But you can try Tommy Alverson (the producer) at Two of A Kind Productions, Inc. @ 817446-8041 (as it's listed on the cover). Later...

JP, Do you know if James Hand has been signed to any label? The last release was a self-release I believe. Can't wait 'til June. Thanks. Later...

Re: Hank Williams
Howdy all, I'm finally back on P2 after almost a year of absence. Work and school made it just impossible to keep up with P2. Now, I'm back in school full time to wrap up my last semester. Great to be back, folks. My two cents on Steve's inquiry: From Rig Rock Juke Box "Do It for Hank " World Famous Blue Jays "I Think Hank Woulda Done it This Way" The Blue Chieftains Later...
