Re: New Lou Ann Barton (sorta)
Dallas, I don't know this new release, but truly Lou Ann is someone that P2 folks ought to bear in mind. To me, in terms of her great talent and, umm, experiences, she's a sort of Lucinda before Lucinda. Didn't Riedie call her "a really dangerous woman" recently? g. She's something to be heard, that's for sure. I caught a Lou Ann set at the Contintental in December and she was still kicking some serious ass. And there was one new song--something about "Living in Your Neighborhood" (?)--that I thought was particularly great. Some Austinite who knows the score can set us straight on recent Lou Ann-isms, I'm sure. Go Lou Ann!! --junior

It's a very poorly recorded selection of songs from 1977 with her band called Rockola, but the second half has Stevie Ray Vaughan playing lead - early in his career I reckon. What label is this on? It sounds like a bootleg to me. I understand that Lou Ann has a new record coming out on Antone's later this year. I don't think this is it. And YES! the woman can SING! Jim, smilin'

Jim, smilin' It's a boot. Somebody has done it and my Stevie/Lou Ann sessions too. Bastards. It very well may be a boot - the label is called MIG or something like that. BUT it says on the cd "woth permission from Home Cookin records" (I think it's home cookin -I don't have the cd handy today). Also, it seems to be getting decent distrbution - not like something you find in the "import" section of some stpres. Amazon or cdnow has it for sale too. So while it may be a boot, it has a little bit of legitimacy to it (so acts like it does). But it's cheaply packaged like a boot and the sesions are often bootlegged (having explored a Stevie Ray Vaughn site about it). lookin forward to a new cd from hers on Antones in any case. keep dancing, -ldk

Multimedia label from Englewood, NJ. None of which proves it aint a boot, I realize, but at any rate that's what the bastards printed on the product. And I found this, featured quite prominently, at Border's. Dallas np Billy Jack Wills His Western Swing Band (and looking mighty damn forward to that new release--whoo hoo!)

Reminds me of the days I snuck into some dives in Miami to hear some great bar bands when miami had an interesting music scene in the early 80s (not blues like this, but the raw spirit is the same). And you get Lou Ann singinging Teena Ne Na Nu not once, but twice! Anyone else know about this record? Yeah, and I second all of your comments. The quality is super poor--in fact, it took me awhile to even get to those last 30 minutes, but my reaction was like yours: if I'm in the mood for greasy, unkempt bar blues, this is the bomb. I remember buying "Old Enough" when it came out on vinyl in 1982 on the basis of a Rolling Stone review (I remember buying Lou Reed's "The Blue Mask" at the same time) and just being absolutely, totally knocked out by that voice. And I still am. Dallas
