RE: Steve 'n' Del
At the Birchmere, the crowd was probably tilted slightly in favor of Del n' the Boys. Washington is, after all, an old bluegrass town believe it or not. I thought Del's set was in many ways the highlight of the night and was certainly paced the smoothest. Made me go out and buy his new one, I tell ya. Steve's solo set dragged the most, IMO. It wasn't due to his politics (with which I agree, mostly, although some of my friends grumped about his speechifyin'), but rather due to the fact that he tried out a couple of new ballad-y songs. That's tough under any circumstance. Incidentally, I thought "Hillbilly Highway" was the most successful "bluegrassed up " of Steve's songs. That's the one that should be a festival staple. PS -- Mucho thanks to P2er Tom Herman (I hope I got this right, please correct me if I didn't) who actually *called* me up that afternoon to say that the Sleater-Kinney show was postponed.

There's no lyrics in the record, so I haven't been able to ferret out the words precisely, but the tune apparently involves the "bloody Kansas" pre-Civil War period (or maybe post-Civil War?). I thought it was pretty neat that a band has enough historical savvy to make a (very good) song out of a fairly obscure historical reference point. Or maybe they're singing about the rock band... Off the top of my head, Kansas was called "Bloody Kansas" in the decade or so leading up to the Civil War because it was a hotbed of unrest and violence due to the fact that it wasn't certain which way it would enter the Union -- slave or free. Thus it became sort of a magnet for extremists on both sides of the slavery issue. Shoot-outs, murders, lynchings, and what we would call terrorism today, all took place in Kansas in the 1850s, as both sides tried to win the upper hand. In a way it was a ghastly foreshadowing of what was to come. It's an interesting and mostly successful songwriting attempt in an album full of good songs. I especially like the imagery of (I'm paraphrasing here) the singer being frightened of "an old man standing there hot as a pepper." I get the image of some fanatical John Brown-type ready to kill everyone in sight or maybe a bitter slaveowner come to retrieve his "property." I don't know if the word "salivating" used in the song was in common parlance at the time, but poetic license I always say... I don't think I'm reading too much into a story song like this, but I've given this album a couple of hard listens and am finding that it keeps getting better with each playing. And it's one of those rare albums that actually gets better as it goes along. The last half is certainly as strong as the first. This is an impressive effort.
