After listening to a little of WUMB coming in this morning, I'm now
convinced Dick P. wears girls underwear.  What the heck is the Joan Baez
fixation?

 And the digest is now an email with an attachment for each 
 seperate email in
 the digest.  In other words 52 attachments for today.  Not so bad
 considering this was a slow P2 day.  The thought of a digest 
 with upwards of
 150 attachments scares me, though.

150 attachments is damn scary.  Hopefully this is only a temporary thing.
Anyone care to shed any light on it?  Listmeister??

 It's a double-CD in one of those flip cases, released a couple of weeks
ago.
Basically, it's The Sun Sessions plus - the plus being a number of live cuts
from 1955, pre-Sun stuff and a couple of alternate takes that didn't appear
on The Sun Sessions.  The notes consist of a good essay by Peter Guralnick
and not much else; there is, for instance, no date, definite or speculative
(beyond the year), for the live cuts, and no discussion of where or why they
were recorded.  

I believe the live material (and I thought I read it in the liner notes) is
taken from an acetate of a 1955 Louisiana Hayride appearance.  Regardless,
the sound quality of those unreleased live tracks is just short of abysmal.
In other words, unless you need all the Elvis you can get, this collection
doesn't really bring anything new and worthwhile to the table.

  Oh, and finally, one thing that's bugging me half to death... Earle's
mentioned a number of times that Del and the guys brought back the use of
one mike, but speaking in terms of national acts, that honor (such as it is)
really belongs to Doyle Lawson.  

And if I remember correctly, Hot Rize made pretty good use of the single
mike when they were a bluegrass entity.

As heard from a former writer for the rag, the boom came down a few weeks

A little more insight on Mr. Ness's upcoming solo thing.  He's got Chris
Lawrence (ex-Neon Angels) whose currently doing axe-man duty as part of
Cisco's Reasons Why band playing guitar on it which tells me there's going
to be some serious twang going on.

And speaking of Mr. Lawrence, he and his pal Cisco were damn impressive at
the NEA in Nashville this weekend.  Definitely have that Dwight Yoakam thing
going, but with a harder edge to it all.  Unfortunately, they were somewhat
of a last minute addition and not many folks in the Gibson Guitar Cafe to
see them on Friday night.

Another impressive twanger was Mark Insley who also hails from the Southern
Calif. neck of the woods.  He had a pretty fine record out a year or so ago
on Country Music Town Records.  Reminds of sort of a cross between
Lauderdale and Ricky Nelson.  Also didn't hurt a bit that he had Tim Carroll
guesting on guitar.  Called Rosie on stage during his Wolfy's gig and they
did a duet on "Sin City" that'd make you melt.
