Chicago: Honky Tonk Living Room
Tomorrow night, April 8, is gonna be great. We've got Chris Mills and Red Meat at the Hideout for the Honky Tonk Living Room. In case you're not familiar with these characters, here's a little background: On Red Meat:http://www.chireader.com/music/spotcheck.htmlRed Meat is California's premiere honky-tonk band combining music stylesof Americana, country-swing, bluegrass, old style country, and gospelharmonies set off by the unique sounds of pedal steel, fiddle, andmandolin. Composed chiefly of expatriate Midwesterners, this crew hascountry roots that run pretty darned deep. Red Meat's 13, which reached #18 on the Gavin Reports' Americana Chart,was produced by legendary L.A. guitarist/songwriter Dave Alvin (foundingmember of the Blasters/solo artist on Hightone Records). Red Meat chart hopper Broken Up and Blue is currently #1 and One Woman Man peaked at #5 and on the Independent Country Singles* in these United States. And as for Chris Mills: http://www.sugarfreerecords.com/chrismills.htmlOn his sophmore Sugar Free release, Every Night Fight For Your Life,Chris Mills has assembled an impressive cast of friends and musicians. With help from themembers of Paul K and The Weathermen, Red Red Meat, Lambchop, Pinetop 7,as well as Drag City chanteuse Edith Frost, Mills returns once again tothemes of love, loss and desperation with a stark sense of honesty andemotion. Already known for the two fisted honesty of his previous work, Mills nowbrings musical muscle to the table. From the incendiary guitar work ofFire For You to the aching piano strains of Pontiac, Mills andfriends wrap brutal lyrical truth in striking sounds and textures.(I spoke to Chris today, and he tells me he'll be doing a sexy acoustic set with Deanna Varagona lending harmonies.) This'll be a good'n - come on down if you can. 9P.M., 1354 W. Wabansia, $6.

Re: Chicago Content: Honky Tonk Living Room
These guys are absolutely great live. My band has played with them in various spots at various times all over the country, most recently this past weekend in Little Rock and although my opinion of them might be clouded by how good of friends they've become, I honestly recomend them. And yes, their version of Moonshiner is a super good'un. -B -Original Message- From: stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: passenger side [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, January 20, 1999 8:55 PM Subject: Re: Chicago Content: Honky Tonk Living Room Kelly Kessler wrote: This Thursday, Jan. 21, starting at 9 P.M. we've got our most ambitious Honky Tonk Living Room to date: . Say Zuzu (o.k., they're from New Hampshire, but they're good!), I heard a cut of this band (I think, i wasn't sure of the name) on my local Americana station. It was some UT or Son Volt Song. Moonshiner maybe? Geez I'm gettin old. Cant remember a thing. Anyway what I heard, I liked alot. Very SonVoltish. Is this the same band? Stuart np Essential Ray Price its got a good beat and you can dance to it

But it's the first I've seen of it. Brent, welcome to P2!
