Re: Chuck E. Weiss other cool new shit
Don't know if this came up last week, but I just heard on the radio that Weiss is the inspiration behind Rickie Lee Jones "Chuck E.'s in Love." And it's a bit of info that Chuck's often considered an albatross. Hopefully this new album will redefine how folks think of him. It is quite a good, rollicking time. Twang content: his backing band at last week's schmoozy Viper Room record release party included Tony Gilkyson and Don Heffington. Weiss calls Gilkyson, the best guitarist he's ever played with. Neal Weiss Here's some synchronicity - a year or so ago I was in LA with a punkish band called the Adults and we opened for Chuck E Weiss at a joint called the Garage. About twenty people showed up and 18 of 'em left when the Adults were done. The reason I was thinking about this today before I check my mail was that I was telling Tony Gilkison's sister Eliza about meeting him that night and what a phenomenal player he was.

Some more synchronicity... I'm going to the Garage tomorrow night... but not to see Tony. To see Ryan MacAnany and Cisco (not together). Jeff
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...

Re: James Hand (was Re: Chuck E. Weiss other cool new shit)
Those of you just dying to get ahold of a copy of "Shadows..." let me know and I'll see what I can do. There are very few left and distribution is more than spotty. Also, there is some debate over who controls the recording. If you can wait until June his new album will be out.
Re: James Hand (was Re: Chuck E. Weiss other cool new shit)
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...

That should solve the problem. Don't know if it's on a label, but I bet it will be a goodie. slim
