More questions exposing my profound ignorance; besides "Wreck On The
Highway", Wacos did what I'm pretty sure was another old cover titled "In
Harm's Way", or something. Who wrote and made those songs big
the first time around?

Who'd have thought that six men in black from Chicago, sporting such musical

to it? It's a
Good clip, Bill. Yeah, this does look like one show I wish I'd
seen
The Wacos are always good to clear your sinuses out after too many
singer-songwriters, thats fer sure.

Yes there's some cliched, cookie-cutter rhetoric in the article, but I
just read it as an attempt by this writer to say that the Wacos were
extremely rockin' on Saturday night. Which sounds entirely plausible and
which I've heard from some other folks who were there, etc.

All of which reminds me of my favorite comic moment from SXSW:
Wacos are playing their Bloodshot Party closing set at Yard Dog and they

Good to have your trenchant insights back on the list, Dave. This is
beautiful!
I'm glad their live show was good, or at least that y'all enjoyed it.
Personally, I wouldn't have even bothered. I thought their latest disc,
