He's got Chris Lawrence (ex-Neon Angels) whose currently doing axe-man duty as part of Cisco's Reasons Why band playing guitar on it which tells me there's going to be some serious twang going on. And speaking of Mr. Lawrence, he and his pal Cisco were damn impressive at the NEA in Nashville this weekend. Definitely have that Dwight Yoakam thing going, but with a harder edge to it all. Unfortunately, they were somewhat of a last minute addition and not many folks in the Gibson Guitar Cafe to see them on Friday night. Another impressive twanger was Mark Insley who also hails from the Southern Calif. neck of the woods. He had a pretty fine record out a year or so ago on Country Music Town Records. Reminds of sort of a cross between Lauderdale and Ricky Nelson. Also didn't hurt a bit that he had Tim Carroll guesting on guitar. Called Rosie on stage during his Wolfy's gig and they did a duet on "Sin City" that'd make you melt. Boudin Dan
