When Bare Jr. opened up for Black Crowes my first half-thought was that
Billy Corgan had grown a lot of fuzzy hair and gained some weight...
Combine that with the loud, repetetive sound and whaddya get?
Smashing Bumpkins.
Was just listening to "All About Town" the other day and one
song (Arianne, maybe) really sounded like it could have been off
of "Abbey Road."
Not sure who to be impressed with - the producers or the band,
but it led me to believe that they should be *alot* more popular
than they are.

You are correct the V-Roys should be more popular than they are.

I think the credit belongs to the band. I liked their first record better
than the second. I think the second one is more "produced" than the first.
The first album has more of a live feel to it.

Heh. Yeah, I hear one of those slicksters has stooped to playing bluegrass these

I wouldn't say Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy are part of the Nashville
machine. I have heard Earle has a picture of Reba on his toilet. Both of the
records are great
I went to the Chapel Hill show, too. Just wanted to clear up a couple
things..."Motion Pictures" was a neil young song. Their song was
actually spelled "Goddamn the Son," which changes things altogether
for me, anyway. But this was hardly one of the better V-roys shows
I guess it's about time for the monthly reminder that the V-Roys are still
the best live band in America. I saw the open (?!?!) up for Bare Jr. last
night in Chapel Hill and they put on one of the best shows of theirs I have
seen. They opened the set with the new-ish "Motion Pictures"
Chad said that he was reminded that the V-Roys were the best live band
in America. I agree.
He also said:
Bare Jr. on the other hand made me feel old...even though I am not fairly
young compared to the demographics of this list. They were pretty good,
but they were SOOO LOUD and repetitive
Yes. Agreed. Bare Jr. play rock and I like rock.

Some of the punks yelled for the V-Roys to get off the stage.
One came up to the stage and threw an empty beer cup at the band.

Yep, it's the Seldom Scene's song. Sheesh, sure is nice to sit next to 21

I never would have guessed that it was a Seldom Scene song. When you hear
the V-Roys sing (scream) it, ya don't exactly think midtempo acoustic
ballad.
Thanks. I can sleep now.

Yep, I must concur w/ Mr. Russell. The V-Roys with both Mr. Miller Mr.
Keith were a more interesting band to these ears as well. Not that I
don't dearly love the current incarnation. However, the old days were
more country sounding and their covere selection more eclectic.

Hey, who wrote that song that the V-Roys always cover live about muddy
water? It's angry and I love it. I think that the V-Roys are always at
their best when Scott Miller taps into his angry side (which is pretty damn
often).
So, who wrote it?
I really want to see Scott Miller solo
I believe the version that Scott took "Muddy Water" from was by the
legendary D.C. bluegrass group the Seldom Scene ... don't know who wrote
it.
