AL TUCK AND NO ACTION & LITTLE ORTON HOGGIT the Double Deuce in Halifax, Friday May 6/94 ---------------------------------------------
"little orton" is, of course, actually matt murphy doing his country schtick playing such classics as "on the road again"... he is a hot fiddle player and does enough different things to keep things moving... actually, the most interesting part was when hip club groove stormed the stage in the middle of some country classic and rapped for about five minutes in the middle of the song... that was a lot of fun... the latest version of al tuck's punnily-named band "no action" features phil sedore (of blackpool) on guitar, and this is quite the improvement... phil's approach is to add some accents here and there where the songs both need it... he is the most complimentary side man that al has ever had; i hope he stays. friday was the best-received al tuck show that i have seen... couples waltzed, fans cheered, and al played a good set... he started off with a few acoustic numbers before bringing on the band... i'm not sure how good an idea that is when headlining at the deuce, but what i could hear over the crowd sounded good. the band were excellent though. one deuce band that you don't need earplugs for. :-) james -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James R.
