After listening to the Hightone 
releases I fail to understand how no major label picked up on this 
incredible talent who, BTW, happens to look damn good on a Harley 
(Live at the Bottom Line cover) and has all the ingredients for 
success at any stage of her career until recently when she just got to be 
too country for country. There are far too many less 
talented beauties having more success. Maybe she just has that my way 
or no way attitude that Nashville can't stand. I did see a post about 
a future opry appearance (this weekend) so maybe that will help get her the 
mass exposure she deserves.

Hey Nancy-  I do enjoy Dry Branch Firesquad also.  I am a B-grass dj at
WDVR-FM in NJ and  this band is one of the most requested.  I didn't know
much about the music until last year when the station owners wanted a
b-grass show!  Being raised in the great state of TX, I cut my teeth on all
those trubadours from there.  So since I have had this show, this countryboy
has realized  that there is Great twangin in the Bluegrass genre!  I sure do
miss my country roots though!   RW Shamy

Hey ya'll, been quiet and lurking past week, but had to let you know about
this cool band I saw tonight Dry Branch Fire Squad. I have not been
this
entertained in days... Any of you familiar with them? My boyfriend has all
their records and knew everything about them. Bluegrass usually makes me
nervous, but damn, they were good. Broke up all the 90 mile an hour solos
with
some funny jokes, and great long winded stories about farming, naked
beaches,
politics and everything else inbetween.

Comedy, ham bonin,  bluegrass, fine pickin, singin!

Tomorrow night going to catch the last set of Iris Dement after I finish an
acoustic thang I'm doing

Any of you songwriter twangers want to come to Memphis and play? I am doing
two songwriter in the round things a month now, and would dig some Paul
Burch,
Ex-hubbie Jim Roll types to rock the joint some, or as much as possible on
acoustic. I do one downtown that is a "low dough" gig, but the newest one
at
this east Memphis yuppy suburbia bar is a cool payin thing, plus you get to
(or have to as some may say) hang out with me! Can come do the radio show
one
afternoon, gig the next night, sleep on the couch, let my boyfriend cook
for
us  If any of you are passing thru Memphis, let me know when and if it
is
on gig day, I would love to have ya!!!

Here is one of the jokes that the band told earlier it is better live,
but
here goes.
"I thought honky tonk was the sound you got boppin a white guy on the head"

Sure, the Chicks deserve some credit. The Erwin sisters are doin' a really
great job.

Nothing against Nathalie Maines, but "Little Ol' Cowgirl" (1992) is still
the best Dixie Chicks Album. But let's wait for the next one...

   The sisters got what they wanted and they did it their way. It's a
shame
people don't get to hear their earlier albums (I think the third one
especially would be enjoyed by their new fans) but they do have different
vocalists and at this stage of their careers it would probably cause a lot
of
confusion in the marketplace. Not everything is an evil corporate
conspiracy.
I've seen plenty of bios that completely ignore an acts previous releases.
This one is actually very good by those standards.

Yeah boy, when they came here to film that thing we all said "things are
happening to us now!". We all thought it was but the beginning of a
massive inflow of industry weasels and labels and publishers and record
deals for everybody and probably the Apocalypse, too. After all, we had
just won the Billboard Trendsetter of the Year Award at KOKE-FM for
having the idea to play country-rock music! And Willie lived here and
was starting his own label! And Texas Chainsaw had just been done here!
etc etc.

some of them things happened but most didn't, and it took another twenty
years for any of it to happen in a meaningful way, and there still ain't
no labels or publishers here bigger than a thimblefull of horseshit.

However, the live scene is still cool. And with Seagrams (!) owning half
of the world now, I don't think banking on major labels will get any of
us very far...

 "Rewriting history" may be too strong
a phrase to use under the circumstances, but I think they're very tightly
controlling their marketing and image right now.

As Charlie Robison (who's engaged to the single one, Emily, I think) told
me last week, the label is consciously trying to erase the band's past.
Check their current wardrobe and hair against the early years.  Nashville
doesn't think that anything remotely hokey (or, "country") can break big
these days.

(And as others have said, that's fine if that's what the current members
want, but it's a shame that the contributions of Lynch and Macy are swept
under in the process and that new fans of the group will miss out on the
three better albums.)

Would their new fans would enjoy the previous records?  Doubt it.
