Clem Snide - You Were a Diamond - It just came out a few months ago, its
amazing, no one is even reviewing it.
it was reviewed in No Depression by yours truly, july/august 1998 issue #16.
i've seen a couple other reviews since then, but i'm also surprised it hasn't
spun more people's heads
-Local resident Iris Dement got the best crowd reaction of the night,
both on her duet with Steve Earle "I'm Still In Love With You", and the
Tom T. Hall cover (help me out here somebody?) she did. Del and Ronnie
can sing with the best, but Iris killed.
"I miss a lot of trains". i love the way
i'd much rather be lurking, but can't let this one slide by.
c'mon jerry.you are unable to find a single band or musician that meets
your criteria in a town with a population of nearly 2 million people,
especially in a town with a thriving and supportive music community such as
portland?
If you want a more locally oriented festival, try NXNW or NXNE. I've been
to the former a few times. Unfortunately, I missed it this year, but it's cool
they moved it to
August when the weather is better in Portland that time of year.
actually nxnw has been moved back to autumn again -
