Hey there, I'm looking to expand my CD collection and was wonderring if anyone had some advice on the following... These'd be my first purchases for all three artists, so I'm looking for a 'Best of' kinda thing or a defining album. Chet Atkins - so is "The Essential" the way to go? Tanya Tucker - have her first two albums been released on CD? and she had about 4 'Greatest Hits' CDs. I know enought to avoid the one dated 1990-1992, but what of the others?

Updates and SXSW Stuff
Hey there, Dave, who hates all things Chicago... Yep, I've said that out here, oh, 30 or 40 times g. When I was there, if you take away Robbie Fulks, you're not left with much (the Wacos are fun, but face it, they're a rock band). Since then, the fabulous Kellys -- Kessler and Hogan -- have emerged, along with Anna Fermin, so perhaps things are getting better. Although Chicago scores extra negative style points for Moonshine Willy and the Handsome Family, two of the worst alt.country bands of all time (though, I did like a couple of HF songs Mark Wyatt played for me, and though I'm told they're quite nice people, they're not my bag of chips live). Bring it on, CK. Mark snipped... As for Jerald's note about the Statesman rating Chi-town as an "overrated music scene," be aware that they practice what I like to call "opposition journalism" so take that into account. OK, we've got "Austin's just jealous" covered. And the rest of this is gonna be quick and not that well developed but perhaps I'll write more this weekend. Remember back when Chicago was the 'new Seattle'? Urge Overkill, Liz Phair, and The Jesus Lizard were all over the place. THAT THEN was an over rated music scene. THIS NOW is alot of people playing the same type of music. And due to a bell curve some are gonna suck and some are gonna be great. And some are gonna start out sucky and practice real hard and then get better. And because there are alot of places to play and alot of bands you're gonna hear just about all of that bell curve once or twice. And as far as your specific examples go, you eliminated one from the genre - even tho they are the 'corner stone band' on an insurgent country label, and you dismiss another band (who loads of people like) because they're not your 'bag of chips.' Kinda reduces the number of data points, eh? Read Linda's concert list tomorrow - there's ALOT of stuff going on. And are we separating press coverage from the acts themselves? Is there a fantastic Sioux City music scene with all great original alt.country bands and no sucky ones and there just arent enough music journalists to cover it? Doubt it. Do folks pay attention to what it going on in Chicago just because its a big city? Yup. What's on the list of "Cities with good alt.country music scene's that get a large amount of press." Um, Austin, erm, Chicago, maybe Nashville, maybe St. Louis - that's about it isnt it? And one more thing... Funny...I was at a real country bar out in the county on Saturday, and remarked to a bandmate that someone like Moonshine Willy or SCOTS would get their asses stomped if they got on stage. Does this prove anything other than people in real country bars are mean? Later...

Re: Artist of the Decade?
Hey there, Slonedog... What does everybody think of Rolling Stone's typically head up their ass selection of Kurt Cobain as Artist of the Decade? Try most pathetic loser of the decade. The guy had nothing interesting to say musically or lyrically and then he blew his brains out. Any alternative selections we P-2ers can offer them. Wow. Do I even bother counterpointing this? Let's just say that whatever Slone said above, consider my opinions the exact opposite. Except the fact that Cobain blew his brains out. That is irrefutable. And really fucking tragic, if you ask me. Obviously, Slone disagrees. Neal Weiss I'm with Neal on this, and there are a few conspiracy type folks who believe the last part (him blowing his brains out) is arguable as well.

But if we are talking about music outside of pop and rock - I would assume a classical or jazz artist must've come out of Japan and wow'ed the USA. I thought of Yo Yo Ma and Toshiko Akiyoshi - but they're Chinese. So anyone else? Later... CK ___ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Re: Japanese hipsterism....
Hey there, Dave... Oh come on, Shonen Knife is miserable. I'm an open-minded sort of fellow, but they're just friggin' terrible. I mean, if you like them as kitsch, that's one thing, butyeesh.

Shonen Knife is miserable. The Japanese equivalent of The Shaggs? Oh come one, Shonen Knife aren't stellar players, especially on their early stuff, but The Shaggs couldn't find down beat with a map. Shonen Knife play HAPPY FUN music and are damn endearing. And they have some FANTASIC pop songs, even if they stumble every once in a while - like all of Let's Knife.

CSRF - SXSW
Hey there, Lessee... I'll try and contribute some new info here. Fluff included. Tue: Yes, tuesday. Started off with another cool chili party at Smiling Jim's with Jim Roll, Anna Egge, and Beaver Nelson. All three of which did fine acoustic sets. Anna apparently has a new CD out (or coming out) which I'm looking forward to hearing. Left during Slim's set in order to get to... Swollen Circus. Bit size chunks of bands playing SXSW at the aptly named Hole in the Wall. Jim Roll backed by The Silos sounded _great_ (digging Jim with a full band (no accordion tho - sniff)) and The Silos their own damn selves. The Brooders, as mentioned, sounded fine fine fine. And a bunch of folks liked the moodiness of Willard Grant Consiprancy (tho I'm not so sure yet). Also started running into p2ers galore Barry! Linda! Jim Cox! etc. etc. etc. I'll never be a weasel moment number one: opening the mens room door I'm face to face Jon Langford. I yell and point, "Hey! Jon Landford!" right at him. There are not enough o's in smth. Wed: The all important from the parents place to The Austin Motel occurs. Heh. Decided to go non-twang for the early part of the evening. Caught a waycool indian-persian type band (1001 Nights?) that sounded great and then Mr. Rubin's Rubinchyk's Orchestra (which I know I'm spelling wrong) who ROCKED in an acoustic Kelzmer kind of way. Kudos to Mark for this effort. Back to the Hole in the Wall for Tom House. Erm. Really like Tom electric with a band (like at NEA) alone and acoustic, not so much. Much needed and educational stop at Whattaburger followed. Thu: Cherylin's BBQ. Wooo hooo! The partying begins in earnest. Great BBQ. Foamy Pearl. And loads of p2-ers. Saw The Ex-Husbands and The Meat Purveyors and Jim Roll and Jon Landforad and Kelly Hogan again, all of whom were as good as usual. The first band (The Fence Cutters?) were a very pleasant bluegrassy surprise and the swamp-rocky band that drowned out the jets passing overhead were pretty cool too. A bit too much Brooce all day for my taste tho g I was involved in the cloudburst that Bill mentioned. Phooey. But managed to make The Backsliders show that night THANKYOUVERYMUCH. And lived through Joe Henry. Ehh. Fri: Bloodshot BBQ. Wo Hoo. I heart Nan. And the rest of 'em. Free Beer. Beatle Bob. Free Beer. Sunny Day. Free Beer. Cool People. Great sets from The Meat Purveyors, The Blacks, The Wacos (especially with Lonesome Bob joining them) and a surprise set from The Ex-Husbands who may be one of the finest bar bands around. Chatted a bit with Hayseed who is not only a kick ass singer but also a hell of a nice guy. Schmooze schmooze. Drink Drink. Not enough dinner and then hightailed it to The Broken Spoke to see Hillbilly IDOL who played a fine, tight set to a small crowd. Quick, back to the Twangmobile to catch The Hicks! From Nashville! WHO SUCK. Luckily they were followed by Slobberbone (who Jamie and Kari kinda like). Last time I saw them they were kinda 'eh - but a fine set was played tonight (no acoustic stuff tho). And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... PUMPSKULLY Lynryd Skynryd meets Lynryd Skynryd. Kick ass swamp rock that even Jeff Wall would love. (doing the devil horn heavy metal handshake) They'll be huge - you heard it here first. Well, you heard it from Tracy first, but you heard it here second. The hotel party then began and I wisely decided to pass out before everyone showed up and The BROX, Slobberbone and Splitlip Rayfield started jamming in the parking lot. I'm such a drunk dork. Grr... I was overserved. Sat: Um, I kinda missed Saturday. Spent most of the day in bed bargaining with God. Rallied to see Kelly Willis - which we couldnt get in. Rallied to see The BROX and Robbie Fulks and The Meat Puppets - which we couldn't get in. Rallied to see The Bloodshot Showcase - which we made. Yeah. You all know the Bloodshot Bands and they were all great. Crossed the street to see the The Sadies. Man do they exude coolness. Fantastic stuff surfy rocky twangy bluegrassy and Neko Case jumping on stage. The best band in Canada g Sun: Breakfast. Sunny Day. Neal Weiss will only come to Twangfest if he gets a badge. Really crowded airport. Back to Chicago. My one regret (other than the miserable hangover) is I didnt get to as many new (to me) bands as I wanted to - as Alex mentioned "We might as well be in Chicago" but if my biggest problem is deciding which of 3 great bands I want to see - I'll deal with it. Once again, everyone on P2 is cool. Even Don. And somewhere in Austin there is a rental car with a Miles of Music and an Ex-Husbands bumper sticker on it. Heh. Later...

Hey there, First Joe... Since my return to P2, I keep seeing reference to a "fluff list". Is this for real? Then Bill... Yeah, what's the deal? And how can there be a whole list devoted to Twangfest? Here's the deal. Back in the fall, around Twangburg time, a list was created to handle all of the 'folks going to Tburgh" email and get it off of Postcard2 (where it was an annoyance to some). Hence, the Twangfest list. It has also covered such meaningless fluff topics like uses for Marshmallow Fluff, professional and college sports, everything that has ever happened to Deb, more about Jerry than you ever wanted to know, what Nashville women are goddesses and how to stop them. So basically, its a place to go for nonsense, as well as useful stuff like 'who is meeting where, when' for various get togethers. To get on go to... http://www.nashvegas.com/listserv/ and look for the Fluff logo. Caution - it tends to explode on Friday afternoons for some reason. Later...

Steve 'n' Del 'n' Em
Hey there, It doesn't look like anyone has brought up the Steve Earle and Del McCoury Band shows at The Station Inn, so here we go... The set up, which I assume will be the same for the whole tour was... 1. Steve and the band w/o Del 2. Del and the band w/o Steve 3. intermission 4. Just Steve 5. Everybody The tunes... Steve and the band w/o Del played songs from The Mountain as you would expect. Del and the band w/o Steve played songs from Family as you would also expect. Steve solo acoustic played his more Moodier songs (as you might expect) and varied the set a bit each night. The moodier stuff like Valentine's Day and Ellis Unit One sounded great and on some nights he also played some old Texas blues (lightning hopkins, and such). He also was rather talkative. This might be due to the small size of the venue - but he lead almost every song with a story about its origin, or subject matter, or whatever - well cool. Also very cool was for the final set with everyone - bluegrass makeovers of Earle tunes like Train a Comin, Copperhead Road, etc. etc. Maybe its not bluegrass anymore, but it sure sounds good. Stuff to make you jealous... Joining the band on stage at various points - Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris. The crowd... An interesting mix of bluegrass fans, Earle fans and eclectic folks like P2-ers g. So you had drunk bikers screaming for Guitar Town, Copperhead Road and in one very drunk case Guitar Road. As well as an older guy behind me mumbling "Where's John Hurt when you need him" during one of Steve Earle's Texas Blues numbers. It'll be interesting to see how the crowd works out at say, The Vic in Chicago, or the show Shane mentioned being promoted on the classic rock station. Oh, and since it was nashville the crowd also included John Prine, Mac Wiseman, Joy Lynn White, etc. etc. So go see the tour. Later...

Re: Robbie Fulks and covers
Hey there, Dina 'Gundy' Gunderson OK, OK, finally I just have to ask "WHY?!!!" I just don't get it. Why do people love for country or alt.country bands or so-called alt.country bands to do covers of godawful cheesy rock songs? Why do people respond to these more than they do to the, OK, I'm going to say it, "real" songs? a bunch of replies and then Jamie... Yeah, I'll testify. Here's my deal, Dina--usually I don't like it much when a band covers a cheesy song. I'm thinking of that awful disco thing that Cake covered a couple years back, for instance..."I Will Survive", was it? Anyhow, to me, the difference is, Robbie made "Jet" sound like the best damn song ever written when he played it. (And that takes some doing. g) I think it was his sheer enthusiasm. Well, agreeing with all the 'it sounds good' and 'its fun' posts one more thing. Ive heard both Cake and Robbie introduce old covers by explicitly stating something along the lines of 'I think this is a really good song' Cake even went so far as to say 'we're not doing this ironically.' So I think, contrary to Jamie's point, that there are songs that can be removed from their original context (read: Disco) to highlight the lyrical and/or simple melody of the tune. Enough to make you go "Hey, Dancing Queen is a pretty cool tune." I'd put John Wesley Harding's cover of Like A Prayer in this pile as well. Later...

Hey there, Russ sez: Patsy Cline woulda worn a vinyl bustier if they were available. Sure she would! Russ, you better be joking, you're treading on thin ice on Lae Postcard2 with them words. Mitch Matthews Gravel Train/Sunken Road Well Mitch, from everything I've heard and read Patsy pretty much did whatever the hell she wanted. And as far as "Grammy winners who dont want to make me wretch" go, the Dixie Chicks are up there. They do play their own instruments, one of which is a banjo, which puts them miles ahead of both The Spice Girls and Tania Shwain. And do you think BR5-49 or The Mavericks had a chance? We're lucky Alabama didnt win. As far as Bob's comment: Great line, though. I'll give you this -- they need fashion tips a lot more than they need music lessons. They guy gets some teeny tiny hipster glasses and he thinks he's Beau Brummel. One more thing. There was a Ray Charles bio on one of the other channels during the awards. I flipped over in time to see Billy Joel talking about how Ray allowed him to understand country music. He demonstrated by singing a standard (ferget which now) in an AMAZINGLY overdone country hick accent. Then by singing the same tune in a more 'soulful' voice. Is there still space on Curry's 'acts we wouldnt mind seeing wiped from the earth' list? (Billy, not Ray.) Later...

Silos
Hey there, Saw the Silos last night - mostly because it didnt dawn on me that Dave Alvin might sell out, which I has to drive a half hour to find out. Idiot. Anyway, got to the show after The Mary Janes (sorry Linda) but in time for Susan Volez - the violinist from, at one point, Poi Dog. She also had gotten into that dance groove thing with a string section, thumping bass and two back up (and in front) singers. Some fine stuff if your into that mellower funk stuff. And the bass was cranked at my rib cage's resonance frequency. Yow. The Silos (none of whom I recognized other than Walter) then took the stage. Given the loops on Heater, I wondered if he was also going to, um, funk it up. But he didnt. Damn loud tho. Same deal with the bass so I think it was the sound man cranking it up. Anyroad, I've seen better Silos shows - it was like he never really got into a groove or took off. Some great songs, over half from the new CD and his 'hits' for encores (Sheila, I'm Over You, a slower Lets Get Some Drugs and Drive Around (or whatever its called)). One of the Mary Janes, whose name I do not recall, joined him for a number of duets including You're The Only Story I Tell - which was great. But, like I was saying, I've seen him 'click' and put on fantasic shows - this was 'merely' good. Later... CK ___ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Re: Time line?
Hey there, Hanspeter responds: But, Christopher, Hank Williams' work has a greater influence on many alt.country artists from Rank File to The Waco Brothers than on Garth Brooks.HP Well, if influence means "We like Hank because he drank alot, died young and wrote songs that are fun to play alot louder and faster than he did." Maybe. And I think there's a straighter line between "Low Places" and "Honky Tonkin" than there is between the Wacos cover of the same song. Also, on another tack, if an artist influences alt.country bands, that does not necessarily make them an alt.country artist. Your point seems to tread closely to "country" being defined as "the mainstream stuff I do not like" and "alt.country" being defined as "everything I do like." This is dangerous. Maybe I've been reading too many of Weisberger's posts. g If asked to divide acts into alt.country and country buckets (much to the chagrin of Cheryl) I would place Hank in the lattter based on popularity, style, and marketing agenda. The first alt.country artist was, of course, Emmett Miller g. Later... CK ___ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

give the dulcimer some
Hey there, Caught Bare Jr. at Schubas last night. Damn. Any band that give away earplugs for free is OK w/ me. Not only were they loud, but they were relaxed, tight where is counted and plowed through most of the CD, along with some new ones and a cover or two (and a really weird partial cover of Sabotage by The Beasties). Apparently the anticipation of having Purcell open for them on Fri. did not make them uneasy. g Live they come off more, um, funkier I guess due to the upfront presence (both in your ears and eyes) of the bass and drums. And the mountain dulcimer (yes mountain dulcimer) has more of a lead role live as well. Damn good. I've said that. So check em out if you get the chance. Later...

NEA (Middle sized and fluffy)
Hey there, OK, my turn. Thurs. Arrived, surprisingly, right on time in Nashville to be greeted by Meshel and Bill. Both of whom I was glad to see, although one more than the other. Heh. Back to the Goddess house to change out of Business Casual and into Casual Casual. (This sounds alot like Bill's post, eh?) BBQ with the surprisingly large and affectionate Boston crew (Morgan, his pals, Tom Stooley who knows every damn alt.country song ever, etc.) At Magge Maggies (that's the name, Bill) 5 Bucks cancelled and, erm, another band who I wanted to see, but whose name escapes me cancelled. Ray Wylie Hubbard was OK, but I dont get into the 'guy with acoustic guitar' thing too much. And I had heard most of his stories and jokes from p2 posts. But the tunes were good. Roy Kasten snuck in, only to be reduced to tears by Marie's constant criticism of the length and geographical nature of his music. (Inna Gadda Davida, Stairway to Heaven, Tennesse River Waits for You). I've already praised Pumpskully. Caught Chris Knight next door, but by that point I had been up for many many hours and drunk for many hours, so I sorta pulled an Alex. I was resting my eyes, I swear. Fri. Slept late. Took a nap. Rough day. Rebecca and her husband arrive to much rejoicing. Off to The Sutler for the Checkered Past showcase, and really bad waitress service. Until Alex did Tequila shots with the table attendant. Oh yeah, Alex started stopping drinking again on monday. The man has the will power of John Belushi. Erin arrived as well at this point wearing really scary motorcycle boots. Tom House was excellent - much more electric than I remember his CD being. Folk music needs electricity. Paul Burch also sounded great (although he might want to spit out the gum.) As did Lonesome Bob (with Tim Carrol and Allison Moorer *sigh*). We all split before Tommy Womack to see 1R1R at The Station Inn. We waited in line outside and then muscled out way through the crowd to the front by the stage. I had to shove some waif-ish chick in a ginham dress (she had some gross fish-like name, Gill?) out of the way for a descent view of Marks gold accordion of love. Erin spilled her beer on some unkempt guy who mumbled something about being 'not that well yet' or something. Lotsa Nudie Suits in the crowd too - I think the opry rehearsal musta got out early. Where was I, oh yeah, 1r1r played their usual great set. Including Cool Water (which BTW is not called 'that funny water song' Sat. Spent the moring food shopping with Meshel. It was bliss. Yet another kick ass Goddess House party. Marcia even showed up. For a while. Excellent chili by Jim, slaw by Marcia, potato salad by Erin and catfish by Meshel. One of these times the weather will actually cooperate and we'll be able to hang out and have music outside. The ExHusbands, Hayseed, 1R1R, and an Ex Husbands 1R1R combo (The Ex Rangers?) played kick ass living room acoustic sets. Although Jerry and Bill prattling on about pop music drowned out most of Hayseed's set. Met Jeff Weiss and his better half face to face (apparently I'm MoM's number one customer or something). Apparently there were a bunch of other list folks there who I never got a chance to talk to - my apologies (I'm sure you all bummed about not meeting me - heh). Being a really annoying anal type guy (clapping the back of one hand against the other) I chased everyone out in time to catch Hillbilly Idol at Roberts. More fine fine fine music from a p2 band (I'll be sure to play it on my radio show Al g) Since I see Jim Roll every time he comes through chicago - I went across the street to see The Gypsy Mechanics (Morgans band). Looking dapper in suits (for the first song or so) They played some excellent poppy alt country. Morgan also knew everyone in the crowd (not just p2 but also their 'moms' from The Best Western). He's movin got Nashville, I hear. (THIS IS GREAT! I LOVE IT HERE!) Fantasic Clash encore of Should I Stay or Should I Go. Ended the night with a slow calzone, an infomercial and a terrible coconut flavored drink. Sun. Got up Ate Flew back to Chicago Later...
